Yes, RebL, I’m very proud of the way you’ve made wise choices your whole life.
Brush and floss daily.
I’m equally thankful that you’ve made very few unwise decisions.
Get a job, save your money, own a home and don’t go wild with credit cards.
Unfortunately, your father has some Zorba the Greek in him. Sometimes he just has to take off his belt and dance.

Oh, duh! We all know exactly where all that folly gets you. Frankly, I prefer to keep my teeth.

I have done everything per expectations and for the most part, I like it. I like it almost all the time. Sometimes I wish I raised a little Hell. Then I remember how icky what little Hell I raised was and I’ll take the boredom of Heaven in a second.

Unknown outcomes take a leap of faith of a totally different sort — vulnerability. That has nothing to do with crapwad saint/sinner choices.

Anyway, glad to know six days after I called you that you are alive, cradd head.

Great idea, Suz. I never thought about you being the one I’d swing at and land a few punches, but you might just be about my speed. I forgot you had a history of being able to take a punch. Thanks for volunteering.

Unless, of course, you completely missed the point that the split lip was merely the price I was willing to pay to get to land a short left to the ribs and a long overhand right to a stranger’s jaw.

And, even if we did all that, it wouldn’t be what I’m looking for. I know the E.R. that would treat me, the doctor and dentist I’d call, the bail bondsman, the judge who would arraign me and hear my “nolo” plea, the holding cell I’d have to stay in for at least 8 hours, the whole shooting match from start to finish; i.e., the one thing I DON’T want to know, which is the outcome before I ever got started.

Just read The Lotus Eater by Somerset Maugham. For those who are still puzzling over all this, try reading it since it’s only about 5-6 pages and it’s online for free. Then, no one reads nowadays; I forgot that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get your sissy ass over to my place and I’ll pour whiskey on you and punch you in the mouth for free. Glad you’re back. This is one of the most boring places on earth and that’s why we have such good friends and need passionate souls and lively dialogue to keep from turning into glue and lard in our chairs.

I won’t bail you guys out, but I’d be happy to come down to the jail and snap pics of you with my phone so you can be world known for your escapades, even if it’s just utube crap video and in geological time your 15 minutes of fame is so infinitesimally small as it could be the hair on the wart on the flagella of a syphillus spirocheate.

Otherwise, happy new year to all. And as my friend Jerry says, if you’re not laughing or getting a boner, get outta there.

Tom and Henry are nowhere to be found, but if you’ll settle for Jethro Bodine, well, I’ll be back in a week or so with a whole heapin’ helpin’ of stupid stuff we can do.

Get your bail money arranged in advance. Maybe we can let Oz hold it for us…no, wait, he’ll be IN ON IT with us.

Those sudden spurts of adrenalin can be fun, no?
