I was stroked yesterday

My ego that is!

I was at Wally World and I saw a guy who was decked out in University of Michigan garb. Since that is my alma mater, I struck up a conversation with him about the dismal football team this year, etc. He asked me how long I have been in Texas and I said 35 years. He said, "wait, didn't you say you went to UM?" I said, "yes, I moved here right after I graduated". He got all flustered and was stammering a little and I said, "yes...that makes me 57".

He finally said, "wow...you really look great. I thought you were about 40".

So I asked him if he would marry me..ha!

We all need strokes every so often right?

Yeah, Leigh it really gave me a kick. Especially since I always go to Walmart looking like a schlub...ha ha! Except I refuse to wear pajama bottoms there...That's where I draw the line!

Good for you!

I'm a Buckeye. Not many things transcend the rivalry, but getting through an alcohol addiction is one thing that unites us more than it divides us.

A Buckeye!?! No wonder you are non-sensical

Thanks for that.. yes, alcohol addiction doesn't discriminate does it?

I think I am going to avoid the Ohio State - Michigan game this year. Too painful to watch. Hoke is a joke.

I've actually never been more terrified of that school up north than this year. We'll be 4 touchdown favorites to win. It would never suck more to lose.
