This kinda chokes me up a little. It really does. I miss people. I mean real people. Not this sea of glowbox zombies and self appointed Social Stasi brigades. I miss being able to just openly talk with people without having to look over your shoulder or worrying about something you said leading to a confrontation. I miss real conversation with real people about real and interesting topics.
Im glad you got to see it, and I am glad you told us about it. Because I fucking miss it.
What you just said made me sad.
Yeah. It is sad. I type this while trying to see through a watery prism, trying to contain the flood that wants burst through the dam.
I have a good friend that I have known for over thirty years. He and his family are coming down from Tennessee for a week in the middle of March. We are meeting out at Lake Fork where we will get to test our skills at who can catch the most large mouth bass, and talk shit to the loser who has to buy dinner. His son who just graduated high school last year is coming. So is his daughter and her new fiancé who I look forward to busting his balls to see if he is worthy of Godfather HooBeeJoo's approval.
I can't fucking wait. It feels like light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Getting my gear together has given me a great distraction from all the bullshit.
