And then.....

After spending the better part of the month trying to get the city council
to impose BANS on a few of the downtown BARS, I needed a break. I was so EAGR
to get away that I agreed to drop my wife at the MALL while I did a bit of
birding at a little known local hotspot. It would be the perfect way to KILL a
couple of hours.

After birding a while on a gorgeous but hot summer day, I though it might be
fun to try birding in the BUFF. No one else was around so I ducked behind a
BUSH and became one with nature, except for my day pack and binocs, that is.
I knew that if I were discovered by a policeman, he would certainly CITE me
but it felt sooooo good.The sun was bright and it felt like an OVEN! As I
walked along humming a symphony by LALO, I stumbled over a log.

I barely scratched my knee but did come away with a noticeable LIMP. I
decided to VEER off the trail and get my clothes on before I got to the
waterfront. Outside the breakwater, the SURF was running high and the PROW of one boat
was scraping against the rocks, while a WISP of spray hung over the marina.

I slowly made my way along the trail and back to the car, thinking that a
Miller LITE would be especially refreshing, as well as a pleasant distraction
from the CORE of the day's problems. It would be good to get home and take
BOBO for a walk before settling into an evening of watching MASH reruns.

As I walked the dog, I said HOLA to my Dominican neighbor, ROSA, and asked
how her favorite baseball player, Sammy SOSA was doing. She seemed unusually
GLIB when she said that Sammy was a NOGO this year and went back to her
weeding.

In all, the day was pleasant enough and all was bliss when I finally DOVE
under the covers.

I'm POOPed,
