Welp ~

7,235 Views on the 2 parts of the prior Thread. We'll see how Labor Day treats us this W'ender, eh? Nuffin' fascinates like Trivia from the back of the Bus. Sober is as Sober does.

Da Wife announced yesterday that she's joining a local 'Peace Circle'. Some older Gals who get together to do Good Deeds, apparently. Her Drinking Buddy who's Prez of this Organization warned her that many of Gals attending first remove their Guns from their Purses - some of which have pet 'names' - and put them on the Table before the Meeting convenes. Life in The Wild West. Should be interesting...

Me, I'm Google Earth surfing new Fishing Reservoirs to park my RV Trailer at for a few days next week. I don't wanna get shot if I reject some Volunteer's overture to do something good for me.-) Sober time's a wastin', and the Weather continues to be fine...

MM - I'm just picturing a group of ladies at a big round table with a pile of pistols in the center. Ha!

Here! Page two. Wow! Good to see you all.

No fireplace here. Plus it's going to be 90 again today.

As I've gotten older I've shed most of the anxiety of speaking in groups. Or of saying "I'm here!" Count me in.

President!

I was greeted with a craigslist response in my mail. Say goodbye to tool chest. Meet me at the cop station... and bring cash!

Meanwhile OATS and blueberries and coffee with fake hazelnut creamer - gotta splurge sometimes.

A not-so-sober bus story: saw on the news this morning that 3 drunk women in Houston slipped past a school bus driver of middle-schoolers and rode the bus for a half hour. The driver didn't notice until they were getting off the bus. Driver fired. How in the world does that happen?

Missed Shotgun by a long shot... Guess I'm going to have to get up way earlier next week.

I'm in and ready for a great sober weekend. Holiday weekend in a resort town is always interesting and busy. Think the kids and I will just enjoy some time close to home, fishing in the bay, grilling and just having some low key fun!

SW, great job on getting out and walking again. Sorry about the pain though.

Be well everyone!

from "The Mourning Bride" by Congeve:

As you'll answer it, take heed
This Slave commit no Violence upon
Himself. I've been deceiv'd. The Publick Safety
Requires he should be more confin'd; and none,
No not the Princes self, permitted to
Confer with him. I'll quit you to the King.
Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd;
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.


Imagine a gaggle of scorn'd women with pistols!

And we're off!!!

Work is done for the day.

Feel better Wolfie!!!

Ok... Shave my head bald and love that feeling. I am neat and trim. Heading into town to stroll and then hit the dumpling place for lunch. I will be sure to report back.

Heading to the resort town later this evening to meet up with some old coworkers. Should be nice. I used to drink there a lot but not tonight, I have no interest in any backward motion.

A sticky day today but the humidity takes a nose dive for tomorrow. Nice!

Henry and Chuckie send their sober love!

Looking forward to 3 sober days off. Hope to get a lot of piano practice in. Some time out on the patio with the dogs will be in order, as well.
