this funky little town

walked downtown to my favorite watering hole to embody spirit in a little different way with a celebratory sipping of some 18 yr jameson -- the celebration being life in all its peculiarities and amazenings -- met a man coming out of the courthouse who looked a little down, i said are you okay -- his reply included the word divorce -- i said yep i've been through that -- he said george, do you know why divorces cost so much -- i said why -- he sez cause they are worth it -- we stood there laughing at recent and remembered pain then went our ways -- stopped and yakked with a japanese man -- mutually admiring his streamlined hog -- in the course of the conversation he said he learned something from the homeless in japan, if you stuff newspapers over your chest to keep warm put them right next to your skin or they won't do the trick -- i thanked him -- who knows might have to use that some day -- and moved on -- sam was decorating weatherford for christmas -- she said when they drop the pine cone this new years MSN is going to be broadcasting it on its web page -- camaraderie and shared info and a sip of jameson, ahhhh! -- this funky little town
