Party!

We had an appreciation party for the Arizona Parrot Head Club on Saturday night at a local hotel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Considering how I felt on Sunday morning, I might have appreciated it a bit too much. Thank the heavens for Sunday afternoon naps!

The afternoon started out by the pool with entertainment by our own Sam Rainwater and other musical members of our club. I couldn't believe that I forgot my Vibra-slap. Again! I asked Sammy if he had brought his and he said no then followed up with, "You know why? Because I'm playing today." Ouch. That hurt. He said it was just a joke but I refused to agree that it was funny at all.

Steven having a good time.

Am I a bad Mom?

It was really nice outside. We enjoyed some brewskis and cigars and got to catch up with a lot of folks that we haven't seen in a while. Somehow, I ended up cash poor so Steven and The Rocket Scientist ended up buying for me the whole night. Sweet. I'll have to consider the plan again. (Insert evil laugh.)

We then moved on to dinner inside the hotel. I actually ate something...not sure what. I remember a hamburger and that's about it. I think it was good.

Our evening's entertainment (besides our club members) was Brent Burns. Brent's from Phoenix originally and he comes out to visit his folks quite often so it worked out well for all of us.

What fun! Brent's great and everyone had a good time dancing and socializing. There was a post-party party out in the hotel bar as we didn't want the night to end.

Why were there boys in the girls' room?

Per usual, I ordered one beer too many that I couldn't finish. Julie tried to get me to stay up until 12 but I just couldn't. I headed back to the room with my nearly untouched Coors Light (yes, they ran out of Miller Lite) and couldn't wait until I got into my jammies and bed. I managed to stay awake until The Rocket Scientist made it back but I was out shortly thereafter.
Sunday morning came too early. I woke up at 6 and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. Unfortunately, that was not to be. We were scheduled to meet the gang for breakfast at 9 and I dozed and tried to doze until the last possible minute. I perked up briefly during breakfast but it didn't last. George and I spent a lovely afternoon on the couch sleeping through the race and it was still an early night. Maybe, I'm not as good as I once was...

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
