A Badly Needed Break.
Yes, Peeps. Tomorrow morning, Ken, my friend and bodyguard, and I will toss our stuff in the trunk of the Caddy and head south to spend a couple days with some excellent bloggers and a few non-bloggers, many of whom have become close, personal friends over the years. I plan on making some new friends as well.
I will happily leave my computer home. We’ll listen to sixties music on satellite radio throughout the entire trip, and there will be no news and no campaign craziness — just music and bullshitting about nothing special. Sweet.
Once we and the others arrive, the serious blabbing will begin and will continue non-stop, accompanied by lots of adult beverages and punctuated from time to time with a bit of guitar pickin’, as the younger other half of the Elderly Brothers will be on the case. I suspect that more than a few games of pool will be played (I owe the Wiseass Jooette a righteous Jersey ass-kicking), a rocket or two will be launched and, weather and time permitting, we may put a couple hundred rounds down range (at a time during the day before the serious drinking begins).
Again, weather permitting, many will finish off the evenings sitting around a fire, exchanging goofy stories and, of course, drinking adult beverages.
I need it, big time.
See you in a few days. Play nice.
Bwahaha! A righteous Jersey ass-kicking??!! Ooooooooh, I’m soooo scared. No disrespect old man, but I’m quite sure a garden gnome has a greater chance of kicking my tucches in pool than you do, you dooshsicle.

Wave as you go past the cruiser in the cornfield on the Turnpike.

Don’t worry Jimbo. Everything will be just fine here when you get back.

I want to go there but won’t do that until Redneck and I can “borrow” the ZZ Top Eliminator Car from the Rock Hall for the road trip.
