Yes, it goes on and on, my friend

It was a going away party for Mike's CO. He and his wife are raving liberals and we didn't want to go, but we had no choice. The best part of the evening for me was talking with the CO's parents. They were both very charming and intelligent, unlike their son. His mother was probably in her mid-60's and she was wearing snug Levi's, a turtleneck and a black leather jacket. She was very thin and looked great for her age. She also quoted Mark Twain and H.L. Mencken during our conversation. I want to be just like her when I grow up. :-)

When liberals go away, that's always worth celebrating. Heck, I may drink to that on your behalf later today.

On our way to the party last night, some young guys stopped at the light next to us started whistling and woo hoo-ing when I was reapplying my lipstick. I was completely oblivious to the fact that it was directed at me. Mike started laughing and said, "Honey, those guys are yelling at you." I didn't believe it until I looked over at them and they were waving and blowing kisses at me. I haven't blushed like that in a long time. Mike loved it.

Thanks. We're hoping that the new CO is more conservative and that he's a better leader.

Thank you. :-)

I don't think they would have been quite as excited if they saw me first thing in the morning though. :-)

(Jim Morrison's soulful mourn)

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

(I decided as a courtesy to leave out his intentions towards his mom. )
