Summer's Eternal Glow seems to be fading...then you catch a break, a chance is taken and life is shoehorned back into perspective! What can have such a dramatic affect as to alter one's entire outlook on life and it's entire meaning!?!
A whole bunch of different shit!...
...but for me it was a simple yet seldom used adjective-proper-noun, a word that can conjure images! One half of the word,in my mind,offers images of little girls dressed in Victorian dresses chasing fairies along the Thames!
"Mary come now darling and drink your tea"!
I guess we can blame King for the creepy factor in Victorian era twins! Well that and the fact that they are damn creepy!
Proof!
But the other part of the word can bring much darker images maybe blood soaked sheets in a run down brothel in Whitechapel...
Dang!
Dude invented Overkill!!
Still technically unsolved, the puto would have been busted in an hour with today's forensics. Imagine the physical evidence left behind.
But the two words together combine to create only one image...a highball filled with tomato juice , vodka , olive , cherry tomato and a less than desirable celery stalk! Yes the one thing that pulled summer from the brink of bummer is none other than..."Bloody Mary"!
Highball by Solo..but did the trick!
I've had a few along the road to middle age usually a whim, a guaranteed hangover cure with a breakfast of migas or chorizo and eggs! But on this occasion it was poolside at a fairly swanky staycation site in San Antonio.
Mrs. Tank too felt as though our summer was wasting away. Now don't get me wrong, we've taken the kids swimming allot, checked out a couple of "family" films, done our best to make memories, but nothing vacationey. So a destination was found a couple of days off coincided and next thing you know I'm poolside, it's early like noon ( real early for me)!
Yeah it's that big!
Waitress ask if she can get me anything... Nah I'm good, had lunch,was feeling good, but then I overhear the old dude a few pool chairs away answer the same question I was asked, and like a pro-drinker without hesitation he says, "Bloody Mary". "Damn that sounds good! " "Should I it's probably a 8 dollar glass of v8.." "Ill wait", then the words we all want our hear from the at home supervisor. "Go for it" I did. It came. I sipped, I crunched and chugged and all that is good flooded back.. I had two more!
Tank cannot live by BMs alone howz about a couple of complementary DosXXezz!
So there you have it. Life is not a cycle of work/sleep repeat. It's a cycle of fun/ family and the occasional 8 dollar drink poolside! Work cuz you have to but don't forget to live while your at it!
Tanned Tank out!
