Topic: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

It's Friday night, I've had a good week at work with a couple of accomplishments worthy of note (my bosses did notice), I've had about 1,000 margaritas, there's a fire burning in the campfire pit, and I'm ready for some strumming.  Hot dog.  I love a night like this.  I may hate the morning though.

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

Amen, brother.  Wish I were there with you.  I am enjoying a few cool ones myself this evening and am plunking away at my repertoir.  Enjoy the evening, and above all, have fun.  Well, one or two more and you should be ready for some Waylon Jennings.  Ready?  Hit it!

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

Too hot here for a fire, Zurf. We are with you in spirit.
I'm on my own tonight. Thinking about heading down the street to an open mike where I may get to jam with some of my grandson's suicidal skateboard buddies.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

Ha!  I don't have any Waylon in my reportoire, but I do have a little Willie.  Wait a minute, that didn't come out right. 

It's too warm for a fire here too, but there's a ton of skeeters and the smoke is keeping them away.  We haven't been infested by suicidal skateboard dudes either, but more's the pity.  I used to be one of them and have the scars to prove it.  There's some kids down the block that keep building ramps and all I can think of is "go bigger, dudes, go bigger."  At my best, I was a whole lot wimpier than my memory tells me.  I'm looking at these guys and thinking that they'll probably have memories bigger than mine some day. 

There may be a song in there somewhere.  "1,000 margaritas and a skateboard ramp"  We'll see.  We'll see.

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

Well, I'll strum some Waylon and you strum your little Willie and I'm sure we'll draw a crowd in no time.  smile
You know those skateboarders can skate and text at the same time.  Yes, they'll be smart, but I can't help but wonder what the world will be like in 20 years when they take over.

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

My nephew and niece's generation is taking over now.  My nephew was a roller blade punk.  If he and his sister (my niece) are any indication of the sort of folks taking over the world from us graybeards, all I can say is that we ought to turn over the reigns as soon as possible.

Congressman with lip piercings and the president with a tatoo on his forehead saying "Skaters Rule" and of course the Speaker of the House with a nipple ring and the Vice President listening to his IPOD during the State of The Union address.  Yeah, life is good. As I sit here and play "As my Guitar Gently Weeps.

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

You'll have to meet my nephew and niece some day.  My nephew I've bragged on before here.  Humble with no cause for it.  He really is as good as any claims he could make.  A true renaissance man with high intellect, athleticism of an international calibre, and an award winning artistic bent.  My niece shies from competition, but she is graceful as a dancer, beautiful as a model, and smart as a Rhodes scholar.  What is particularly impressive about her is how she lives.  She lives to help others.  She has dug wells in the desert for Native American tribes, sat by the hospital bed of a friend reading books to a comatose vegetable for months on end trying to keep an active brain active in a dying body (successfully I might add - her friend has miraculously recovered), and she can play guitar better than any of us typing away on a Friday evening that's for sure.  I may be a bit proud.  Just saying.  If the world comes down to those two and their friends, and we have to rely on them to take care of us, I'm not worried.  In fact, it makes me want to call my Dad an apologize.

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

Sounds like great kids Zurf.  A cut above.  We need more young people like them.

Re: It's Friday night and there's a fire burning

Well, it wasn't really 1,000 margaritas.  No headache this AM, but I did have a heck of a mess to clean up in the kitchen.  I prepared three different Mexican entrees last night with the kids to go with the margaritas.
