    Really Great 50th Birthday!

    I had a particularly Great Day yesterday!

    First we started out and got some female type attention from a hair and nail salon owner who gave me a full makeover, Mani - pedi, Facial and a full hour massage.

    Yes, I was kilted.




    Feeling great I then took the opportunity to get a tat that I had been working on for about a year, its a Tree of Life, to Go with the Man in the Maze on the opposite shoulder...

    The ink



    The finished deal



    Tipping the artist; notice his shirt!




    At this point the battery in the camera dies but...

    To top everything off, the entire family showed up at a seafood restaurant for dinner; I had a dozen oysters, some great fried squid and a 1 1/2 pound lobster, plus a couple of Stoli and Bombay Sapphire Martinis.

    Now here's the best part, ALL KILTED! Yeah gotta love it. While I was headed in to dinner a couple of ladies stopped me and asked if I would mind if they took my picture, cause their sister was going to get married and they (all the girls) wanted the guys to wear kilts, to which some of the guys were game but others thought it might look "sissy".

    The girls wanted the pics to show them how good a guy looks in a kilt! Me an old fat bald guy looks sexy in a kilt! Ah the Power!

    I took the opportunity to pull out my wedding minister biz card and said I was a minister and would be happy to marry her sister in a kilt, She nearly squealed with joy! She asked me if I had some more cards cause several of her girl friends were getting married this coming year and the all needed a minister, and a kilted one would be JUST TOO COOL! Her words not mine. Again the Power.

    My older brothers were wondering what the heck was going on, when I walk in with a cat got the canary grin. My sister sees me and yells "He's wearing a kilt!" comes over and plants one on me a gives me a big hug. Really good Day!
    Rabbit, What Rabbit? I should'a turned left at Albuquerque!

    One Life, One Mind, One Peace.

    Things I've learned in life:
    What you focus on becomes your reality.
    You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.
    Don't act your age, it's not healthy.

    Where did you get tattooed? It's been ages since I've been to the Duke City, but there are some TOP NOTCH tattoo shops up there. Visions of Brian Everett tattooing me... man that'd be sweet. I also have a good friend, who's shop I once tattooed at here in Hobbs, who works for a tattoo shop in Abq now...
