Some Days You Win, Some Days You Lose - It's The Ones That Get Rained Out That Gets You !

Well, it was bound to happen again, as it has in the past. Yesterday, our hero was dressed to the nines, the scent of cologne wafting in the air. As he mused about Thursday's tentative date with the lovely Rocio, CNN News was starting the 7:00 p.m update, so he sat in his recliner to catch the first ten minutes of the news. Fade to black............

I awoke about 10:30, drooling at the mouth as I am wont to do when sleeping, and wondering who I was and where in the hell was I. As my senses began returning to normal,  I finally realized that I had gently slipped into a coma, possibly due to Tuesday night's dominoes game, but a coma nevertheless.

I pondered for a moment as to whether to press on to my intended destination in AREA 51, but discretion being the better part of valor, I decided it was better to cut bait than fish and reserve my energy for another day. For some reason, I still think with a forty year old mind, but the sorry carcass that carries that youthful mind around town has been rode hard and put away wet too many times. Fear not, my little tater tots, the South will rise again and hopefully the body will follow suit and go along with the plan.

Today's Plan A  has gotten a bit complicated as my evening plans, although tentative, have a new twist. My sweet Nicole called and she is getting together this evening with her sister, Kathy, and they invited me for a drink. As of yet, I have have not spoken to the lovely Rocio, with whom I am supposed to meet this evening for happy hour. This one may go down to the wire. We'll see.

I have been following the current situation in Texas, where three hundred plus children have been taken away from their mothers and are currently being held until the current investigation to the Church Of What's Happening Now  (or whatever it's called) has been resolved.

I normally leave each person to his own religion and it's a subject I usually don't bring up in normal conversation. I'm not really sure of what is happening with this sect or group (or whatever..), but I lean towards the children remaining with their mothers and the ones that should be doing some 'splaining are the men. 

I happened to see an interview of some of these women today and it seems to me, if I were a member of this group, that I'd being looking for an organization where the women were a little less homely. That particular feature notwithstanding, all those beauties spoke as if they had recently purchased and used the Sears do-it-yourself lobotomy kit. 

The Pictures: Birds of a feather...... That's todays theme and I've got some new pics mixed in with some of my favorites for your viewing pleasure. Of course, you realize that, as per my wont, there are always variations on a theme.
