Recap and Look Ahead

Ok kids, last night was the Ptolemy Xmas party. There were a surprising amount of new members. Apparently the Krewe has been kicking ass and taking names. We have a bunch of new folks (might I mention some new hotties, finally). I had a great time, but I showed up way too late so I was a few drinks behind everyone. I didn't play catch-up though, and that turned out to be the best thing. Everyone was hammered and saying really stupid shit. I, however, got to listen to what they were saying. And yes, some of you are really stupid when you are drunk. Some of you are just really boring. And some of you need to watch your boobs, they tend to sneak peeks out at the party (btw, I'm not ever going to say who, but one lady's loose-fitting top should have been tightened).

Tomorrow (Saturday) I am going to rake leaves because the wind might finally be gone and the temps may rise. Well at least that's what I'm hoping.

Saturday night I am going to two Xmas parties. One is in Midtown and the other is downtown. I'm not going to say who is hosting them because that would just be rude to the hosts. You'll get recaps of course...if my effing camera starts working.

Have a good one and don't get none on ya.

Feel Good Moment of the Week

This morning I was at the Collierville YMCA (aka the Cowtown Y) swimming laps. I got out and went to the sauna to rest. I noticed that there was an old couple in the pool. They appeared to be in their 70s or 80s. The wife was unable to get in and out of the pool via the stairs obviously due to her limited walking ability. There is a machine that the Y has that will lower people into and raise them from the pool. The husband stood their with the lifeguard as the machine raised his wife out of the pool. The three of them were laughing and carrying on what seemed like a nice conversation. When the wife got out of the pool, the husband brought her walker to her. It was one of those dual walkers where you can walk and use hand brakes or just sit in it. Well, after she sat down, she reached over and grabbed her husband's hand. She squeezed it and said "thank you" to him. He smiled and had that glint in his eye where you know that they've been together for a long time and she still looks as beautiful to him today as she did when they met years ago. Then he went to the men's locker room and she went to the women's. I never saw them again and doubt if I will see them again. But for that one moment, they brightened my day.

Have a good one and don't get none on ya.
