thinking of my big cousin mark

My older cousin Mark has had an accident and is recovering in a hospital in Oregon. We miss him awfully so here's a message from Max for him so he can know how much "get well" energy we are shooting his way...

what the?

so it has been several months and a new calendar year since we've posted - its because max is exactly the same! No, just joshin'!
Here's what he's up to:
Touring with papa for the Midwest leg of Matt Nathanson's tour (opening for Lifehouse), Max & Mama joined them in East St Louis and left after the first night at Chicago's House of Blues (aka house of rules)

Mastering the local vernacular, i.e. "What you did, mama? What you said? What it is, Mama?"


Breaking the hearts of Beautiful Ladies all over! Here's an excerpt from a notable game of "knock knock" (where he knocks on our door and I let him in, asking about his travels etc.):
Max: knock knock
Mama: Who is it?
Max: Maximillian Wade Meissner
Mama: come in come in
Max: I am so tired, I just flew on the jet plane from California
Mama: What were you doing there?
Max: Playing drums for the beautiful ladies

another game "where are you going?"
Max: Bye mama
Mama: Where are you going?
Max: I'm going to Mexico
Mama: Can I come too?
Max: NO, just me.
Mama: Who will take care of you?
Max: The beautiful ladies, bye.

His father claims to have no knowledge of the origin of this mysterious concept of groups benevolent women waiting for Max through out the globe....hmmmm
