Still standing


The Randy Travis of Doors (our V.P.) came for a visit this week. We/I thought the door was going to close on this D.D. but I'm thrilled to say it didn't. I've been in 'Panic Device' mode for a month and concerned that my job would dry up as I drove through the Texas panhandle.
I suppose it could still happen but I'm not going to worry about it. I need my beauty sleep.

Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows


So the economy has been in the dumpster. Washington did pass a relief bill. OK. Now everything is going to be fine. I'm glad that national disaster is over and I can go back to normal and not worry about my job disappearing tomorrow.
Phew.
We're going to see Leslie Gore this weekend. Now I can cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

In the middle of the night

We live on a dead end street and the tall apartment houses nearby create a tunnel of sound. If the windows are a open a crack we can hear a lot from buildings nearby. Well the folks across the street had some guests over and were having a pretty raucous evening. Hell, it was a Fri night and people should be able to party to a point. Well as I looked at the clock and it read 2:15, I though I would get up a check things out.

WELL. The unit across the street has a full size picture window. The curtains were wide open and the glass is totally fogged up. I could see the silhouettes of people moving back and forth across the window, sometimes one, sometimes two. The whole time lights, i.e. camera, were flashing and they had 2 huge flood lights on. Based on the 'poses' it looked pretty gnarly.

I just wanted to get some sleep. So, I got the kitty's laser pointer and while sitting on the floor in the second bedroom, I flashed the red light where the fog on the window was smudged. They freaked out. The curtains were pulled. They started taking pictures again. In a space between the curtains, I flashed the light intermittently.

Within about10 minutes a big old guy and a woman ran out of the apartment.

Straight porn is so yesterday.
