Thursday Thoughts

Hello friends, Thursday thoughts are back up and running. I want to apologize for not writing in awhile, but I do have a very good excuse.

The reason for my slacking is that I am what my family likes to call a “bear.” I tend to hibernate during the winter. Let me be very clear. I do not like the cold, the short days, the lacking of wonderful sunshine, the ability to wear shorts and flip flops, no boating, no bikinis, no golf, and no good fishing, and no walking out to the back porch in my witey tittys to take a leak!

Usually the winters here do get cold, but this was one of the worst I can ever imagine. It was colder than a coal miners… I am pretty sure it has snowed here every day since September. However I will not bore you with the past.

The time has sprung forward, the sun has been shining, and I am excited for a fantastic Spring and Summer ahead! I got to dust off the golf clubs yesterday and took myself to the ole course for a little tune up before the season, and all I can say is WOW. Typically I get to play or practice “the greatest game God ever invented” at least 3 times a month during the winter, but its literally been November since I’ve picked up a club. I went to our local driving range and had a 13 year old girl feeling sorry for me. This was just after I shanked my first 5 shots in row ( I was a collegiate golfer damnit!). I told her that I hurt my back, a total lie. To tell you the truth, the rest of that bucket went about the same, but I didn’t give two dark chunks in a tuna can about it. It was 70 degrees, slight breeze, and not a cloud in the sky. I can’t even imagine what Heaven is going to be like, but I sure hope it is something like that day.

Spring also brings on another thing that takes up a ton of my time, Weddings. I love and love to hate weddings. I’ve got 4 so far this year in the line up. It really is great to see all the people you haven’t seen in ages, catch up, dress up, and for the quiet, weird uncle, drink up. It never fails, every wedding reception containing the ingredient that makes everyone halfway want to be there is alcohol. And there is always some crazy dude on the dance floor, showing off his 1975 disco moves, killing himself for shaving his mullet in 85,’ being the life of the party. I also love the best man and best bride (whatever you call it) speeches. The best man’s speech alsways contains some information probably not suitable for kids of all ages, and the woman’s speech is always way too long. Seriously darlin, if you’re crying for the happiness of the couple its one thing, but nobody cares that you made up dance rountines on weekends or had matching color bands on your braces in middle school. Once again I do love attending wedding and some that I am not invited to.

Being a single man and all, I have to look good for the ladies so I’ve started my usual Summer diet, which is not near as fun as my November/pre-hibernation (fatten up for the winter) diet. So I am now paying lots of money to the Bo Pilgrim family, consuming massive amounts of chicken, eggs, veggies, blah blah blah….

Hey, did I mention that it was 70, with the sun shining yesterday?

Well I’m headed out of Lubbock to Texarkanna for a wedding (hopefully I can get a good picture of a mullet sporting uncle), and then off to our nations capital, Washington D.C for some good vacation time with Momma D, Chadly, Jeana (Jenna), and the best Aunt in the whole world, Aunt Di. I’m sure we’ll have some good pics and stories from this adventure.

Adios and Cheers!
