ADIOS: I finally watched the
new Miller TV ad close enough to see what they were singin'
'bout ... guess I shoulda jes' broke down 'n asked the
boys ... they didn't miss a trick ... 'n that 'splains
why they were singin' that song last night ... at the
Ol' Country Buffet ... one to his chocolate milk ... 'nother
to his 4th plate of mashed potatoes 'n gravy ... that
was my solution to Sunday dinner ... us "bachelor"
dads took the kids out for some recreation ... a l'il
laser tag followed by some good 'ol homecookin' ... I've
gotta say it's been a little lonely 'round here ... I
talked to wifey-poo last night ... they've survived the
New York 'sperience in one piece ... they don't talk 'bout
the dog show that much ... they're stayin' at some hotel
pretty close to Madison Square Gardens ... it was one
of those special deals ... see how many women could squeeze
into a hotel room without it burstin' at the seams ...
I think all six were gonna do one room but accordin' to
them a couple floors of the hotel were closed 'n they
couldn't get enough beds in one ... they switched to two
... can you 'magine six women in one room? ... in the
mornin'? ... all tryin' to get ready to go somewhere?
... gives me the shudders! ... I don't think there're
'nough plugs to handle all the hair stuff ... or towels
... when they called the first night I asked for the phone
number ... jes' in case there was some reason to call
... like I couldn't figger out where the laundry soap
was ... (that's a joke ... like I was gonna do laundry!)
... I was informed it was $30 extra to have the phone
so they didn't get one ... they were callin' from the
lobby! ... likely story ... they've been walkin' 'n shoppin'
... durin' the snowstorm they crowded into a couple o'
cabs to take 'em to Broadway ... so they could get in
a little shoppin before they went to see "Grease"
... it only cost 'em $5 for the taxi ... when the show
let out they tried to get a cab again ... but nobody would
pick 'em up 'cause all the other shows were lettin' out
'n they were hoggin' up all the cabs ... the ladies started
walkin' 'n a limo pulled up ... the driver told 'em he'd
take 'em back to the hotel for $5 ... they all piled in
... got to the hotel ... realized the driver meant $5
each! ... but then they felt it was worth it when they
got out of this white, stretch limo with all the people
tryin' to figger out who they were! ... I keep askin'
'bout the dog show 'n finally it came out that the real
show doesn't start 'til today! ... they said somethin'
'bout gettin' up early today ... so I innocently asked
if that was so they could get in for part of the festivities
... "no, we're going down to stand outside the Today
Show window or try to get on Regis and Kathy Lee"
... well, I guess I'll have to turn on television this
mornin' ... see if I can see 'em in the crowd ... maybe
they can swing a Yorkie on a leash above their heads so
I can spot 'em! ... so I start singin' softly ... to my
brief vacation ... "Adios my friend" ... as
I slowly shuffle to the kitchen for a second cup o' coffee.

POWDER P.S.: It musta been
ESP ... or she caught a whiff as I left the house ...
there was a bottle of my favorite unscented waitin' for
me when I got home!
