OH YEAH, IT'S GOT TO BE THE DATE AT FAULT!
FLEW THE BUMBLE BEE TO OKC THIS MORNING TO HAVE LUNCH WITH "THE OLD GANG" FROM WORK. THAT '96 IS JUST A VERY GOOD ROAD CAR WITH THE BILSTEINS ON, WHEN I GET THE NEW SWAYBARS ON IT SHOULD BE JUST RIGHT. TWO AND A HALF HOUR DRIVE, ABOUT 80 DEGREES, CAR RAN ABOUT 185 ON THE HIGHWAY. DIDN'T MISS A LICK.

GOT TO CRABTOWN EARLY, GOT A GOOD PARKING SPOT RIGHT IN FRONT. NO BODY THERE YET. HAD A DRINK WHILE I WAITED. AND WAITED. AND WAITED. NOBODY SHOWED; SHOULD I CALL SOMEBODY? THEN I NOTICED THE DATE ON THE BAR TAB: 13 SEPT. THE LUNCH IS ON 20 SEPTEMBER. DAMN! OF ALL THE THINGS I'VE LOST, I MISS MY MIND THE MOST. THE MEMORY REALLY IS THE SECOND THING TO GO.

ATE MY CRAWFISH ENTOFFLE IN SOLITARY SPLENDOR AND STARTED HOME TO FT GIBSON.

THEN IT RAINED ON MY CLEAN CAR, JUST TO AD INSULT.
