Remar
By Marc Johnson
You right! January is might nigh
gone from here. Where did it go?
How come time ^
seems to fly soH
quick? Do gittin’
older have any-
thing to do with
it? They told me
it would; but they
didn’t tell me a
calendar would |
look like a fan.
Are any y’all keepin’ any of yore
New Year’s resolutions? Did you
even make any; or did you do like
me; forget it.
I do have a purty lofty goal set to
do sometime in this year of 2000.1
fully intend to visit an “Olive Gar
den” restaurant. Somewhere. And
bring my own ranch dressin’. Went
' in there once and asked fer ranch
dressin’. Was sorta curtly informed
that “Suh, this is an Italian Restau-
rant.” And I proceeded to tell this
waiter that ranch dressin’ danged
shore wouldn’t hurt it none. That
bloomin’ vinegar and oil mess don’t
suit my taste buds none a’tall.
Whew!
Well folks; happy to report that
Betty is sorta gittin’ over them Cow-
boys and their pitiful season. She’s
even leavin’ the meat in the stew
and feedin’ the dog something else.
Thank ya. Next season got to be bet-
ter; no matter who the hillbilly from
Arkansas finds fer a coach.
You reckon this team may even
play better without a “head” coach?
I got a feelin’ they sorta know
what’ll work and what won’t. Leave
all them assistants in there to help
’em along; cause I know they need
the jobs. But let TVoy and Emmett
and some of them other veterans
run the plays and git outta the way.
I really believe they could git the job
done. At least, I think they’d do bet-
ter than they did under Bro. Gailey.
I doubt this will really happen; but
think about it.
I’m writin’ this mess on the even’
of the 19th and just got in from out
on the patio. And the skies are flat
beautiful But tomorrow night
s’posed to be an eclipse of the moon.
Gonna last fer about an hour and 15
minutes. From about 10:05 to aboift
11:22 p.m., here in Central Texas
And David Finfrock on Channel 5
done said it oughta be clear skies to
see it in.
Hey, last weekend was a doozie'
Larry Simmons, owner of Gap Trac
tor Parts took David and Kathie
Witte, Darrell and Ladawn Garland,
and myself to Memphis, Tenn. Went
to a National Tractor Parts Dealers’
Association annual convention. It
was downtown at the Marriott; one
of them fancy hotels; and tied in to
the convention center. Had a big
trade show and got the chance to re-
new a bunch of long time friend-
ships and made several new friends.
Lots ot jrOi ig folks there. At least
they looked young. Couldn’t be that
I be gittin’ older; could it?
Had to drive to Dallas; fly to At-
lanta and then back to Memphis.
You might say it was the scenic tour
way to git there. Took a while. Now,
most of them airports do not let you
smoke inside. You got to plumb out-
side in them special “smokin’" sec-
tions. And that’s alright.
But in Atlanta; you don’t got to go
outside to smoke They one glassed
in room 'bout 30 by 40 you can go
smoke in. Whew! If second hand
smoke is dangerous; there oughta
been dead folks all over the place.
You didn’t hardly even have to light
yore’s’ just take a whiff or two and
git out. It'd might nigh knock the lint
outta yore navel. It was stout1 But it
was inside Ha, ha. and hooeev'
Seen a tip in the paper today bout
another way to lose weight. Any y all
make that one of yore resolutions9
Said to take the scale out from the
bathroom and set it rat in front of
yore refrigerator Might git yore at-
tention.
Wish them East Coast folks would
share some of their rain with us
down here in Central Texas Th; y
do got way more than they can
handle Some of ’em even got some
snow We ain’t seen none of that fer
a while
Heard about two women talkin’
and one said to the other that she
had not no need to git married She
had three pets Had a dog what
growled every mornin’; a parrot
which swears all afternoon; and a
cat what comes home late every
night.
One of them ladies said she was
a wonderful 'housekeeper" Every
tune she got divorced, she kept the
house
Do this sayin’ take on more
meanin’ the older we git? Seems it
do to me. “Yesterday's history, and
tomorrows a mystery.“ Think about
it! All we got is one day at a time and
if we'll treat everyone like we'd like
to be treated, we ll probably git
through it ok
See ya next week.
