Thanks, Buddy....

Thanks for having my back last night, Jackal.... You did good!

If you could have seen the look on your face as your Mom tried to bring you into the "discussion"....

I am still laughing when I think about it. A look of total ignorance of the subject, a look of innocence while you were trying to get out of the kitchen and into the basement. You were obviously listening good since you were able to repeat "...since October". That was priceless. You may have saved my life with that comment!

You really should consider acting. You'd probably be good at it. I thought I had the situation pretty much under control until you guys walked in the back door. That's when it escalated again. Probably for your benefit. You know, to drag you into it and have you gang up on me. (I have to stop typing for a second so that I can wipe the tears from my eyes....) I'm sure she thought you'd side with her.... ;) (nah, not really. she wouldn't expect that..)

I don't know if you noticed it or not but her eyes were shining. They get that way when she's having fun. She thought she had me over a barrel and she was enjoying it. She was going to make me squirm as long as she could. She was enjoying herself. (has to be a woman thing ;) lol...) You should have seen the look on her face when she was counting them in the basement. OMG!!!! That was good stuff. I'm not going to tell her, but she missed one. The Schwinn Voyageur.... She didn't see the black C-Dale, either. Priceless.

I'm not sure how long I could have defended myself on my own. It was good that you walked in when you did. You may have saved me from Lord knows how much abuse!

Anyway, thanks....

Ride safe,

Peace out, yo!
