Happy Sunday! I hope you got a good day, take a nap! Church is so good today.

Okay, my friends said I got to write bout Green Lantern. So here goes. I got tickets from my friends Russ and Joyce, so I get to treat my mom, my sister, and Joe and Savannah, good friends, my sister. I did been to their house inna beach. I like it, my treat!
I got a Diet Coke, drink that I watch that movie. It’s good on a hot day. But it’s cold in the theater.
I like that Green Lantern. It’s better than Green Hornet, but I like that karate.
Ryan Reynolds—what a hunk! Ryan Reynolds is in that movie Proposal, with Sandra Bullock and Betty White. I got that DVD, with Coach in it, too, that’s Craig T. Nelson. It’s a good movie, too. Ryan Reynolds’ girlfriend in the Green Lantern is so pretty. She is gorgeous, like my mom.

Everybody going to like the Green Lantern. I like it when the ring is on. I like it when the ring is off.
You member the Superheroes? Like Superman, Wonder Women, Justice League of America, Batman and Robin, and Aquaman? Long, long time ago? Aquaman was like under water in the ocean. Wonder Woman has a Magic Plane. Lynda Carter plays Diana Prince, take that glasses off and then, that’s Wonder Woman. Lyle Waggoner played Steve Trevor, that’s Wonder Woman’s boss.
Well, Green Lantern, same thing like that. Long, long time ago, is two kids in the comics, boy and a girl, we had to do it together so it works. That’s Superfriends, on Saturday morning TV show. My sister find that old cartoon for me on the internet, touch that ring to the lantern, power up. So here it is. You click on it, you see that cartoon.

Green Lantern powers up his ring from the lantern on the old Saturday cartoon.

Well, Green Lantern got a special ring, cuz he’s so smart and flies high in that jet, all the way up. Name is Hal Jordan. He is so nice. Hal Jordan put on that ring, and THEN, turn into Green Lantern. Got a funky costume, I like it.
And Green Lantern did save all the peoples from that big, big monster. It’s scary. It’s black, with a big mouth, suck the people in. It is made out of fear. It is creepy. Name is Parallax.
And another Green Lantern, got pointy ears like Spock, that’s an evil Green Lantern now, I think so. The professor is weird. I not like that part.
You like to see this movie? I think you like it. I like to see it again, mmm hmm. I think I might buy the DVD comes out. I let you know.

Hi, everybody, happy Wednesday! Today I go to work, but first I like to tell you bout my trip. I did go to Charlotte with my sister, my brother -law, and my mom. Tom finished the labyrinth and had a big, big celebration.

My sister did order lots of cards, got beautiful pictures from my brother Tom on it. I did count out 12 envelopes, make a little stack. Count 12 more envelopes, put it on the stack, too. Now my sister put cards in boxes for me, all different ones. I hold out my hand. I count 1-2-3, then I go to the next box. I count 1-2-3, then I go to the next box. I count 1-2-3, then I go to the next box. I count 1-2-3, and then there’s no more boxes. I put the cards in the box. My sister opens up the little box, give that to my mom, and my mom takes the stack and puts it in the little box, and close it up. Now it looks all nice, and we take all the boxes to that labyrinth so people can buy them.

Billy and Jane count envelopes for the notecards decorated with Tom's labyrinth studies.

I like to help, and I’m good. I worked for a long, long time, then I try to watch All My Children, but I don’t know how to use Tom and Sheila’s TV, but that’s okay. I just had lunch, get me a little nap. After that, we have a nice dinner. My sister-law is a good, good cook, and she makes a little white thing with chocolate in it, and put a candle in it for me, cuz Tom and Sheila not make it to Kingsport on my birthday. I like that, got me another birthday again. And they did give me a present, too.

Tom brings Billy's birthday desserts to the table. Happy Birthday... again!

Saturday is so, so busy. Tom and my sister and my brother-law did go to the labyrinth early, got a lot of work to do, take all the little boxes. Sheila take me and my mom (but Olive is Sheila’s dog and she stays home) to the labyrinth. Whew, that’s a LOT of people!

We did get dressed up, and I got to sit next to my brother-law Jos. He let me wear his sunglasses cuz it’s so bright it hurts my eyes. My brother did talk and my mom did read little poem bout the labyrinth. My sister write that poem. My sister cord it all on that video. Miss Almetto was there and she loves me! She likes me and my family in my mom’s book Grown Man Now.  I talk to her and my mom long time, have me a Coke and a snack.

I’m proud of my brother. We had a great day. Then we drive back to Kingsport. And then me and my Mom are so tired. I like my vacation in Charlotte. I like that labyrinth.

You like to read bout it, it’s in the paper. Here’s the little link.

Tom Schulz and Almetto Alexander, interviewed at the Dedication of the Labyrinth

Hi, it’s me, Billy. This is my mom and me, going to see Green Hornet in 3D with sunglasses. My sister is going, too, but my sister is taking this picture on that cell phone. We go in the afternoon, and nobody else is in the theater, just us, got it all to ourselves.

Billy's Judo chop is too fast for the naked eye!

Seth Rogan plays in Knocked Up with Katherine Heigl, and he is Green Hornet. Jay Chou plays Kato. And Cameron Diaz plays secretary.  She played on Charlie’s Angels with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. Cameron Diaz is so pretty, and got a good actor in it. Green Hornet and Kato both love the secretary.

I love the judo stuff. Kato was my favorite in the movie. Sometimes this movie is violent. I’m not going to talk about that.

I like that two guns on the car. The car is black. It crashes through the wall and goes in the office building. Big mess.

I love this movie, is got good actor in it. It’s good. It’s my favorite for today. I think that’s it.

Here, you like this, it’s the old Green Hornet TV show. I watched that a long, long time ago. Green Hornet is good looking in this one.
