Being ready for a sojourn to the mountains for a brief respite with Nature this Christmas, before the aggravations of the coming Spring Semester, I was disappointed by the rain and flooding in North Georgia....
I reluctantly stayed home....
Feeling melancholy and sorry for myself,
I attempted, casually, to find out about my 1st wife.....
Haven't seen her for near better'n 25 years or so....
Last I heard, she was workin' for the Augusta Chronicle Newspaper in Georgia.
As the Assistant Manager or something....
I got her a job there....
As a "Paste-up" copy editor.
Back in the late 70's....
What I found, well....
We were both in Georgia for a couple of years recently....,Then She moved back to our Home town, married a guy who has had a heart transplant, is heavily involved with animals at shelters and still is Beautiful!
She's only 6 months younger than me,
and I struggle to remember why I gave up on us....

(STILL has them cute dimples....)
Her Birthday is this Thursday.
Yeah, I still remember....
Should I send her Birthday wishes?
Or, just leave it all alone?
Surely, If I could find her, she could have found me....

PS. She was my Wife when I worked on motorcycles in the back bedroom....

She took that photo....!
She couldn't sing, nor play an instrument....
But,
I still love her and often dream of us....
Her Brothers...
Whom I have stories including metal detecting...

Johnny and Terry.....
My "Brothers-in-law" once....
and outlaws- a few times, too, I guess....
I feel so old and defeated.....
AH!
The question...
Her name?
SNAP!
You tell me and win an additional "Secret clue!"
For you only!

"Sorry, Mac, Can't help ya.....
I'm busy putting together the contents of a PVC tube...."
Belated Christmas and boxing days all. Full moon ,family get together s....ha!
Dads home with a fresh stint and in a month approx. if all goes well he'll get a valve replaced.
No internet since weds? And generator funs. Well set though to keep the basics up. Cold freezer and furnace.
Wind is up and ice fallin so here's a happy new year wish in advance..
Been scheming on a little strip of land...low ground .A pond or two "au naturel",and of course deer!
We'll see if it pans out but did get a handshake on it.
?? I don't remember...... Getting old. I was a hard rocker.... Loved AC/DC would eventually see them on their North American tour in 1982 at Lakeland Florida while home on leave. My first concert was wicked......I saw KISS in Roanoke Virginia in 1977 I think. What a show!!!!!!
