If there's anyone curious why I look the way I do, it's 'cuz I've traveled a lot of roads to get here 'n some of 'em weren't paved...

Rode hard 'n put away wet.....Some daze are like that, y'know....I mean, it's been a really good day all in all....Cary's birthday....brunch at Gina's....more food than anybody c'd want....some really good ribs...well, actually so well done that it was more pulled pork than anything 'n that's one of my fav'rits....'n of course, anything that ends up with friends 'n fam'ly makes for a good day....'course, it also makes for a looooooong day 'n da boyz were really glad to see us when we finally got home....

When I wuz a boy hangin' out at 'the corner' nobody wanted t'be first to go home...nah! I use'ta be accused of staying out 'til the last dog was dead....go to bed late, get up early, no one needs to sleep more than 2 or 3 hours a nite...Yeah...RIGHT! I recall saying that there wudn't any sense in going to bed, that you're a long time dead....my my my...times do change...now I like to go to bed early 'n get up late....I don't like any appointments that take place before 9 or preferably 10ish in the A.M.

And sleeping is actually fun...I don't know now why I didn't do more of it when I was young 'n could have devoted a lot more energy to it....ah well, missed opportunities....(sighhhhh) seems like I've reached the age where happy hour is a nap!
