So........

As I'm leaving in a week, and am going to be trekkin' around Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar for a month, I had to come up with a way Mom could chill and not freak out. Follow the linky, and I'll post stuff when I can. This is one of the stops on the way to Ted's wedding. Nice thing is, most of the little towns don't have paved roads, and there are elephants walkin' down the street, but you can almost always find a guest house with internet access.

I have NO idea who this is, but he speaks NOLA, Tub.

This one's for you.

Golf Bar Menu

A crusty old golfer comes in from a round of golf at a new course and heads into the grill room. As he passes through the swinging doors he sees a hand-written sign hanging over the bar:
COLD BEER: $3.50
HAMBURGER: $4.75
CHEESEBURGER: $5.25
CHICKEN SANDWICH : $6.50
HAND JOB: $50.00
Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of happy-looking, sun-wrinkled golfers.She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer."Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, "May I help you?" The old golfer leans over the bar, "I was wondering, young lady," he whispers, "Are you the one who gives the hand-jobs? " She looks into his eyes, wearing a mischievous, toothy smile and purrs: "Yes Sir, I sure am." The old golfer leans closer and into her left ear whispers softly, "Well, wash your hands real f*cking good, cause I want a cheeseburger."

Sorry...I had to.

Hey Larue!

Since when do your skwirrels eat Slim Jims?

Earlier This Year...

Field Trip!!!

And then, head down to the bay for lunch at The Ramp.

I Had No Idea

Took a little bike ride along the Guadalupe River Trail before the hockey game. Whoda thunk San Jose could be so cool?

Just Shoot Me, I'm Done

31-28.

Da Old Man, beat up and battered, had it all to win, and he and they didn't.

Turnovers, special teams. (kin Tubdude is allas right)

And in the end, lack of defense to stave off the NOLA march for the field goal.

The gas ran out, NOLA wanted it more. Under pressure, with opportunity (god what a clusterphuck of calls to end it the whole OT)

Hat's off to NOLA, and the kids, but if ya could find it in yer hearts, a few kind thoughts for the old man, and the battering he took and STILL tied it up. And his whole season . . . .

Thanks for the consideration.

GO MANNING!!!!!!!!!

I still feel older, all of a sudden . . . . sigh.

Where's my car keys, it's time to leave and I can't find them.

And I'll be in mourning till pitchers n catchers report, when it all starts to glow golden again . . . till then, shut up n pick.

*sniff*
