I went to Southern Nights with the group Friday night. Interesting outing! The group was snaggle toothed again. Several missing. Some sick. But we forged ahead.

I had an interesting event occur. At an adjacent table there were about six people. Three men and three women. They had been drinking, their table strewn with empty beer bottles. There was an older woman who for some reason became enamored with my dimples!

She began to heckle me, asking me to smile. "Show me your dimples!", she would say. Try as I might not to, it was so funny I couldn't help but smile. For some reason this woman decided that I was partners with an attorney we have in our group and she began loudly chanting "I want to hire you!"

"For what" is a scary thought!

I asked Andi, a group member to dance, figuring if I was not available, maybe my heckler would forget me.

As I returned to my seat I learned that her forgetting was only wishful thinking. I would have to say that absence "does" make the heart grow fonder, or so it seemed from her perspective. As I sat there my table cleared, except for me. Everyone was on the dance floor. When I looked over, there sat my heckler all alone. She had introduced herself as Rhonda. She began asking me to smile so she could see my dimples again.

Finally I got up, extended my hand and said "Rhonda, would you like to dance?"

As we walked to the dance floor she told me, "I have a bad knee, so be easy with me!"

I laughed and told her, "Rhonda, show me what ya got!"

She was a hoot to dance with. I think I laughed all around the dance floor! (By the way she sure did have short arms!)

"I sure do like it when you smile and show me those dimples and teeth!", she said repeatedly.

I started to tell her if she like those dimples she should see the ones on the other end! But then she didn't need any encouragement!

I ended up escaping, dimples and reputation intact.

A brief while later, I returned from the dance floor and realized Rhonda and her group were gone.

My "partner" lawyer friend in the group laughed and told me, "That was tough! I did sell her a divorce though!"

"You too?", I replied!

We had a good laugh!

I told Krl about my close encounter of a third kind with Rhonda and she had to laugh before interjecting, "I think you like all this attention from these other women!"

I'm going to start carrying bandaids to cover my dimples in the future!

Too funny!

The last two times I have gone to Southern Nights I have seen two couples fall in the same area of the dance floor. I don't know if it is rough there, needs sawdust, or just what. I do know that I have "hung" a boot in that area myself.

I think it is possible the women are sliding backward, hit the place in the floor and begin to go down. I think it catches the guys so by surprise that they can't catch their partner and they go down right on top of them.

Kind of looks like "dog pile" on whoever in the South East corner of the dance floor!

I had a message that told me two members of our group suffered a fall on the Southern Nights dance floor last evening, although I am not sure where they were on the floor. There is some speculation that the lady might have suffered a broken rib.

I didn't know that Country Western Dancing was a contact sport!

I made a trek across town yesterday to check on Pepa's truck in the shop. I invited Krl to accompany me with the lure of eating out as a bribe. We ended up going to Chili's and having lunch ( and I had Presidentes). We brought enough leftovers home to have supper!

Doctor Mackie made some changes to Krl's medications and it remains to be seen if she is going to be able to take them. It seems their side affects are worse than their benefits.

Aunt Betsy didn't have a good day yesterday. Very nauseous, and began running a low grade fever. The doctor checked her out and decided to send her back to the hospital. Turns out her pneumonia is back. Meds ordered.

Bets had better get it in gear if she is going to make Memama's birthday party! (Incentive).

I have made the decision to get me a new smart phone. I am waiting for the release of the new Droid X 4th generation. The sales people who have gone through training say that people with Iphones are going to be trading them in for the new Droid X. Best part is that they think when they hit the market for sale they will be offered two for one.

Well, maybe I have emptied my brain enough to go back to sleep! Lots of time I can't sleep because of digestive tract indigestion, other times it is because of brain indigestion!

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for good times. We continue to lift Betsy for YOUR gifts of healing and care. For I know whom I have believ-ed!
