Went by the old local Chinese place again for lunch on Thursday.

The generals chicken and rice were excellent as usual. Had a long day Thursday, mopin' around. Long day of classes, ending too late for me to be able to join my friends to watch them play pool after. Joined them just in time for a late breakfast at Denny's at about 11pm. Good drunk food. Excellent time. Saved half my ham and egg melt for breakfast again this morning. It's good, I wanna tell ya.

The cooks I hang with are serving up a BBQ lunch at the campus on base this afternoon, but I usually don't get to partake. They always plan these things for lunch time (imagine) so the administrators can gather and eat. Of course, this is when I teach my classes, along with the other instructors, so very few of us will be there. I'll probably sneak a rib or two before I have to jet.

It's time to get a haircut. My cousin in Salado cuts my hair, and this time I'll be taking dad to my regular, once every 6 or 8 week trip to the barbershop. We'll both get a trim. It's a fun little reunion, catching up on family. We'll both get a visit this time. Then we'll head up to Temple for our regular feed. They'll meet dad at the door, and have him situated and be getting his dinner by the time I park the car and get in there. It's always a good time. Then we'll head back to the folks house and I'll give mom a squeeze.

I've become busy with friends lately, last three weeks or so, including a lot of time spent with my new lady friend. But she's out of town till next week, off with her family visiting her kids and grandkids in Kentucky, so I'll be chilling around the house this weekend, and maybe going to Gatesville to shoot that Enfield I picked up so long ago. That's if it doesn't rain. I also have to work on a new online class that is about to start, checking out the class layout to make sure the students can figure it out. Need to make out a new final exam for another class that is ending this Monday. All in all, sounds like a busy time. What ya wanna bet I end up on the couch, snoozin' through most of it?

Oh, and if you're not a regular visitor around these parts, be sure and check out Mushy's Friday blues post. It's always a good jam.

Anyway, have a great weekend. Cheers.
