Habituals

I've mentioned this dog before and his unusual habits. I wish you could zoom in on Phil's machine and see the time. Just a few minutes past 11am and there sits Oscar... ready to roll for his daily walk.

There's a park to the southeast of our building. Just a few steps out the back door and through our beautiful alley and you're there. I would take him most days when I used to smoke, but the dog actually prefers Phil. When Phil's not around, Oscar would go, but he refuses to harass anyone else.

Buffett was at Riverbend Thursday for the annual show. I didn't get out there until 2:30 or 3, but that was all the leave time I needed. Any longer and I may not have made it to work Friday. It was hot and sticky, and you could tell folks were feeling it. But it was good to sing along with Jimmy again. A lot of people don't like his music, and I'll be the first to admit that I only have one album, but damn, he does a fine job of taking you to a place that's got boats, beaches, bars and sun every day of the year. How I wish I could be somewhere like that now.
