Grandma says

"Now you're in the South,
have you noticed how two-faced
the folks down there are?

Like these Mexicans
doing the yard work: I said
to the one, 'Jose,'

I said, 'I've got my
eye on you.' But he wouldn't
speak English -- the nerve!"

thanksgiving break

my new favorite:
texas barbeque. so good,
so spicy. no plate.

many napkins... beer
corn on the cob, potatoes...
new meaning to "sauce."

vaca in texas
with the fam. football,
hiking and whiskey.

reality is
suspended. delaying my
work. in denial.

even hotter date

"really?" i wondered.
so cute, so young... so polite.
yummy. i like boys.

ire

stupid leaf blowers.
why so loud and disruptive
every morning?
