Well, I took Misti to the Stockyards in Fort Worth for her birthday. It's only about an hour from Bridgeport. It was considerably colder up there (nothing like our sub-tropical Gulf-coast Beaumont), so we didn't do that much walking around--just opted for dinner at Riscky's Steakhouse and then went to Billy-Bob's ('World's Largest Honky-Tonk'). To our surprise, none other than Loretta Lynn was playing that night! Misti and I have yet to become proficient at two-steppin', so we limited ourselves to the 'cotton-eyed Joe' and watching a bunch of cowboys doin' the 'electric slide'. Funny stuff... That's about it. Over and out.

We didn't see "Snatch," after all. It wasn't showing in any of the cinemas! I have a feeling it won't be showing in this area anytime soon.<BR>
     Oh, well. Last night we bought "Smokey and the Bandit" at Wal-Mart for seven bucks.<BR>
...Chris wants me to let ya'll know that on Sunday before we left Bridgeport he went and saw the preacher's baby donkey. He was awestruck by the simplicity and friendliness of rural Texas life. Roosters crowing in the morning, horses to ride, everyone knows everyone's business, church on Sunday followed by a huge lunch at home, etc. <BR>
     I'm going to eat some brown sugar Pop-Tarts now and drink some coffee. Hasta luego.

Thanks all for the welcome back messages.  I've been busy busy with grad school and unfortunately haven't kept up with my writing.  But, I'm now learning how to pace myself, and hopefully I can get back into a groove with it.  <BR>
Dee, and anyone else who wants to chat, please email me at [email-masked].  I am rarely ever on AOL anymore (which has contributed to my absence).  <BR>
Again, thanks for the welcome back,<BR>
