It has been a while since I have updated my blog. I have been at a
"Family Reunion" in OKC these past three days. A funny incident happened
on the way up to OKC. I was in IHOP for lunch and ordered the classic
"rootie tootie" breakfast and got pancakes with my meal. Right in front
of me was this huge blue container that looked like a syrup container.
So I decided to pour syrup on my pancakes. Low and behold the syrup
looks awfully liquiddy. I stare at my pancakes in amazement as the smell
of coffee comes percolating up. I can just imagine the look on my face.
I then see this old lady staring at me and howling. She couldn't contain
herself and I say," I thought it was syrup". By that time another table
started looking and laughing and my face turned red. Then my mom had to
add her two cents to the waittress,"Ma'am my son poured coffee on his
pancakes can he get some more pancakes." I tell the waittress,"I'm sure
I'm not the only one to make this mistake." and she walks away quickly
holding her laughter. Then I hear the waitress go back to the back of
the restaurant "Earl, can I get some more pancakes, some guy poured
coffee on his." And so I had to laugh. Yes, it was funny. I still think
I am not the first guy to do that. I suppose the label "coffee is hot"
should've warned me, but alas I was on vacation. OKC was pretty good.
Met with family, watched an old slideshow during which the same Randy
Newman song played over and over again. I was waiting to see who in my
family would get irritated first, my sisters husband won that award.
Everyone was doing well. My new niece is cool. My young nephew is
rambunctious and I met my other 7 year old nephew as well. The Bass men
compared cell phones and cameras, a standard thing. Then we ate dinner
at PF Changs and I ended the evening in the room watching fireworks out
the window. So ends the vacation. Everyone asks me how was Oklahoma. I
always say," It was OK"

Thought of the Day
"You have no idea of the magnitude of this thing. If she is allowed to
infiltrate this world then George Costanza as you know him ceases to
exist. You see, right now I have Relationship George. But there is also
Independent George. That's the George you know, the George you grew up
with... Movie George, Coffee Shop George, Liar George, Bawdy George."
"I love that George."
"Me too, and he's dying. If Relationship George walks through this door,
he will kill Independent George. A George divided against itself cannot
stand!"
