My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

| Last night my wife and I spent the evening making merry. Now there's a term not used very often in this day and age. I could say we went to a gay party, but nowadays that would be misunderstood by by the masses as something far different than the party we attended. I should just say that my wife's place of employment held their annual holiday party last night. We attended and had an enjoyable evening. It was a Los Vegas themed party with live music and a lot of card tables. They hired a group to set up the tables and provide dealers. Upon entering the party, we were greeted, offered champagne, and provided with a one hundred dollar bill. Not a real bill, but the type used in movies, so it looked real but was not legal tender and was redeemable for chips to use at the card games. There was also plenty of food available and free refills on the champagne as well as free tap beer, and red and white wine. As we had started out drinking champagne, we continued with that beverage until the supply ran out. Not wanting to mix drinks, I switched over to white wine for a time, but that also ran out and I refilled my glass with red wine. It seemed the majority of the crowd was drinking beer, so I was surprised when the red wine also ran out and I had to switch to tap beer. I know what your thinking, "He's going to end up getting sick." Well, having been around the block a time or two, I also was aware of the risks of switching beverages. Also, I wasn't out to get sloshed. So, I sipped my drinks slowly and made them last. I also drank water between switching beverages, and maintained a condition of feeling well and moderate sobriety. Both my wife and I decided to play Black Jack and purchased chips from a table that wasn't very busy. The young lady dealing was pleasant enough, but she was new to her job and new to Black Jack. Even so, she did well and we stayed at her table throughout the evening. At the end of the evening, chips were cashed in and the four highest winners picked cards (high/low) for a hundred dollar gift certificate good at most local businesses. I pooled my remaining chips with my wife's which qualified her as a finalists. She picked her card and won the certificate! |

I think I'd have to call a septic cleaner to flush out my brain after meeting Norb... I'd send you my muse, but I need it (?) more than you do right now. Best wishes for getting a good one!
