Bobby

This year, Stephen won the Reber family March Madness tourney competition. He received high family honors as next year's March Madness Commissioner and "Bobby." Bobby is the bobble-headed trophy that now holds residency in TX with our family. Brock, our brother-in-law and last year's recipient of Bobby was unsure that Bobby would be happy with us...please read the following instructions we received.

Stephen,
Please excuse the delay, it took us a while to pack up Bobby's things. There will be six 12 x 12 boxes to follow this one and they are all C.O.D. I hope that's OK.

I'd also like to lay out Bobby's schedule--He's very particular on the way he likes things.
5:30 am: He likes to get up for a morning jog. He prefers around six miles, but on a busy day, he'll settle for three.
6:00 am: After the brisk run, he expects to have a high protein breakfast ready to go. (He is a high performance athlete you see.)
6:30 am: He needs to be bathed, have his jersey changed and his bobble greased. He doesn't want to get rusty or lose the spring in his bobble.
7:00 am: By this time, he's usually ready to shoot some hoops to stay sharp on his skills.
8:00 am: He's ready for his 1st of three daytime naps.
10:00 am: He demands to be woken up at 10 am sharp and wants second breakfast brought to him in bed.
11:00 am: He'll be content to watch highlight videos of Michael Jordan or Duke Basketball for 2-3 hours. But don't try any UNC highlights or the Jazz. Both make him sick and very upset.
2:00 pm: Second nap.
4:00 pm: Late lunch and protein bar.
5:00 pm: Third nap.
7:00 pm: Dinner. He will only eat filet mignon.
8:00 pm: He expects a full body massage and then a hot towel and some tunes to relax him.
9:00 pm: Bed time. He's pretty worn out by now, but be careful on weekends. He may request to do some club hoppin' unless he's got a game in which case he'll be sure to get to bed early.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to call. He's a little nervous about living in Texas, but I promised him you'd take him to the BYU bs. Oklahoma game and that helped calm him down.

Good luck,
Brock

PS--Bobby understands he'll be back and my house next year!



However, after several months enjoying bbq, a new cowboy hat and a new girlfriend, I think Bobby is now content to make TX his permanent residence. Anyway, this is what Bobby had to say to Brock:

Dear Brock,
Merry Christmas! Ya'll come visit anytime.
Yee Haw!
Bobby
