Good morning, all you people at work on a Mondee morning, makin’ bank while you Google yourselves and read this merry crap. 
How do you do?
I had a most awesome birthday weekend — thank ya very much! The highlight was Saturday night. Christine put on her trademark leopard and her “goin’ out” eyes. I dressed like a shop teacher, same as I always do. We drove out to this turn-of-the-century, small Texas town with the typical two-story decorative brick buildings running down Main. You could hear a woman hollering the blues from the street! Last year, we went to see the last of the Delta bluesmen, ancient fellas who came racing (ok… racing rilly slowly) on hover-rounds. No lie. But there was this one young woman belting it out between sets at that show. We kept trying to catch her name so we could find out where she played. Well, here she was on the stage in this little town! I had no shame in claiming such a coincidence as the perfect gift. I’d like to say this was a country jook, but no… it was a parsley fancy dinner club where rich folks ate steak and lobster on white linen. But hey, the lobster was actually damn good and music was GREAT! Christine and I slammed back sipped appletinis all elegant-like… snickering as balding, old, white men performed their universal spinning wiggle dance.
I got an awesome blues book from a sweet friend, and another old friend gave me a badass knife sharpener that looks like a cruel BDSM pirate sword thingy. I immediately sharpened everything in our home and then made an announcement to my wife: “WATCH OUT! Aaaaawllllll this stuff is really sharp.” Christine gave me a blues distortion pedal so I could made some noise with my Fender in the dawghouse out back. Finally sharing some fun, peaceful togetherness with my girl was truly the best. Whenever life gets in the way, somehow we come around again to talking and touching hearts in the sweetest of ways. Not to mention, the essential birthday booty which I was claimin’ left and right! Heh. 
All in all… a stellar weekend. A big thank you to all my fine friends for the well-wishes!
AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN YA’LL!
