Back to Oak Ridge

June 19th, 2007 by Atomictumor

Man, Secret City Festivals, mayor elections, and all sorts of stuff happened while I was away.  We got home and the fish were happy to see us (didn’t I mention that Syrup now shares a tank with Mr. Pootentater, and Gabe Jr 1, 2, and 3?).

Poor old Pigpen whomped up a fever this morning, after a lousy nights sleep in my room (for my part, I slept better every night at Bonnaroo than last night at the farm, grumble grumble), and he’s passed out on the couch now, poor little guy.  The cable TV is fired up, and bags have yet to be unpacked.

I have so many stories running through my head.  Several people told me that this thing would be good for me, and I didn’t really see how (except for that whole 4 day party thing), but it did something to me on a deep level, something that I’m still working out, and something to do with BJ, and life, and death, and The Beauty.  I’ll tell you folks some stories, and supplement what I’ve told you already, but not today.

Today I’m gonna spend some time with my boys, back at home.

    Me too. And I just want to point out that there is a big difference between sleeping and passing out, maybe that’s why the ‘roo sleep was better.

    I guess it shows my age that I’ve got THIS running through my head:

    “Welcome back,
    We always could spot a friend.
    Welcome back, and I smile when I think how you must have been…

    Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

    Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve got him on the spot, welcome back”

    You mean MastaG wasn’t named after Mr. Kot-tair?

    I remember in third grade(?) when Mr Kotter’s wife had her baby. All the girls in my class were so excited. All the boys wanted to watch the premiere of the Dukes of Hazzard….

    That kind of tells you something right there, hmmm…..
