CLOSING IN ON CATCHING UP

Replica of the sign made famous in Lonesome Dove in a gas station somewhere in Louisiana:

The gal came back and then the next day, they were both gone and we haven't seen them since:

I've learned the pleasure of persimmons:

We've been having meals with KMHD + Everett more frequently. Graffiti's is a favorite:

SOLO has been wanting to be near me more, which is flattering even if I can't get any werk done:

We went to Burge's recently and it so worth mentioning. Never change, Burge's!

Sometimes, KMHD + I just need to get out of the house. A little grocery store loitering on a Saturday night:

Passenger:

This is only remarkable because it looks like a regular Xmas tree photo, but I was approaching breakdown from having too much to do and too little time to do it.  This is a "and yet you managed to get the tree up amidst it all" snapshot.  Appearances = deceiving:

I won this cool fan in a contest:

The very beginning of a very bad visit with dad:

Dad does have an impressive bonsai garden, somehow:

Blasts from my hometown past:

The last Kilgore/13th Division Xmas party:

Me + my office mates didn't have a big budget to throw Judge Kilgore a bangin' retirement party, but we pulled it off and it was brilliant. Judge's sons came from LA and DC as a surprise and, well, we made the old man cry.  Nailed it! These are pride pics here:

I got sick the day before we were to fly out to Seattle. I didn't want to be the jerk who was sick and then got on an airplane, so I actually went to see the doctor THEE day we were to fly out.  They tested me for flu, which is an awfully intrusive procedure. Thankfully, I tested negative.  They gave me a most painful shot in the rear, a z-pack, and the go-ahead for travel.

Judge Kilgore oathing in my new boss, Hon. Mike Reif. Work has been weird lately and I don't expect that to let up any time soon:

There is a casual limo driver in our neighborhood:

TC

A few weeks ago, I learned that my friend TC was murdered. I'm afraid at how dark my thoughts turn when I think of the perpetrator. I cannot even say how I really feel, it's disgusting.  It's hard to hush these ideas.

Then there's the deep sadness and the painful emptiness of his absence and yet, he is everywhere! His influence is so part of my everyday life that it essentially goes unnoticed because it's my normal.  He was a good friend to me and I will miss him immensely.

Much love to the living.

KMHD + TC:

BEST OF THXGIVING 2014

Since we weren't going to be around for the Xmas holiday, we spent Thxgiving in Mississippi with ATM's fambly.  Here are my favorite bits.

FOOD. All of the food was fantastic, but my favorite was the WATERGATE SALAD aka green salad and there were two kinds. I don't know why this stuff gets such a bad rap, it's terrific and weird and magical and kitschy. Pass it here!

BABES.  My nephews are getting grown. The rate at which children grow/develop is astonishing. I cannot see how parents stand to witness it, really, because as a casual observer, it's amazing with the mildest pangs of heart ache. Slow down, little one!

DOGE. Here is Daisy, the newest member of the Morgan pack. She has such an expressive face and will fall asleep in your arms. A delightful creature.

A tardy post, I know, but I've been hella occupied, every minute accounted for.  WOOF. Probably you as well, eh?
