Bone To Pick


I was thinking again in the Sapphire Sled. This ride and I have been together for 9 years... wow. It's no wonder to me why I'm synonymous with it!

That's hella time. Or rather I'm just old with an older car. I think I get older the more often I engage conversation with 20 year olds. OY VEY! You'd think I would cease these conversations but no. I still continue, 'cause I ain't done yet.

As soon as I made that decision, this song played on my iPod which is named by me, MARK IV.

"Still A Little Chicken Left On That Bone"
by Craig Morgan
She's 34
Two years divorced
Sick of being bored
About to throw that saddle back on that horse

He's 39
Way past his prime
Came out of retirement
Everybody said he done lost his mind

They look at him now
Packing in that crowd
Just one more touchdown
And he's Super Bowl bound

[CHORUS]
It ain't over
'Til you say it is
Don't pour out your Coca-Cola
If it's still got a little bit of fizz

[BRIDGE]
Little bit of hop left in that frog
Little bit of bark left in that dog
There might not be a lot of roll left in that stone
Still a little chicken left on that bone

That GTO
It might be old
But truth be told
Underneath that rust is a heart of gold

It's a fixer-upper
Every night after supper
He'll twist and yank and make it crank
Until that thing burns rubber

[CHORUS]
But it ain't over
'Til you say it is
Don't pour out your Coca-Cola
If it's still got a little bit of fizz

[BRIDGE]
Little bit of juke left in that jive
Little bit of honey left in that hive
There might not be a lot of roll left in that stone
Still a little chicken left on that bone

Get some dust on them boots
Kick the rust off the bucket
What you got to lose?
Nothin'

[CHORUS]
No, it ain't over
'Til you say it is
Don't pour out your Coca-Cola
If it's still got a little bit of fizz

[BRIDGE]
Little bit of tick left in that tock
Little bit of click left in that clock
There might not be a lot of roll left in that stone
Still a little chicken left on that bone

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper
