When the day began, I was not considering this to be a very
good birthday. I’m sure I’ve had bad ones before, but this one got off to a bad
start.
I’ve had this new girl friend, that is until today. She had
plans for us to stay in a motel for a day or two. Those plans didn’t last long.
The woman is crazy. She claims I said something rude while I was drunk. We all
say stupid things when we are drunk. But she would not let it go. After a while
she accused me of badgering her for the last 4 hours. All I did was try to talk
to her. The more we talked the more obnoxious she got. When she finally left at
dawn, I was glad to be rid of her.
I was supposed to have a celebration dinner at longhorn steakhouse.
My brother John decided it was too cold to drive around, so we (meaning mostly
him) decided to call of the dinner until tomorrow. So, realizing that I had nothing
to drink tonight, I set off to walk to the liquor store for some refreshments.
While it was 25 degrees out, more or less, I bundled up to go to that liquor store
about 2 miles down the road.
Despite the long walk and the cold, I started off, trudging
along. I stopped at Pizza Hut and decided to eat a little pizza and drink some
ice tea. Then I got a call from my brother Phill. He didn’t know we called of
dinner. So, I invited him to meet me at Pizza Hut. Then we went to the Agave
Restaurant near the local liquor store.
Phill ate dinner, I just drank margaritas. It was a fine
afternoon.
