Seriously. You won't have to read much further to realize I've had a few cold ones. Temps in the 50s, bluebird skies, light breeze out of the NW.= a perfect day for a fire. I decided to go with the flow.
My decision was greatly affected by the fact that I went to the store and stocked up on 3 of my favorite beers.
.Shiner Bock, a Texas beer and my over all favorite.
.Modelo, negra, my favorite Mexican beer
.Budweiser Copper Lager, about the only Budweiser product I can stand.
I would have gotten some Blue Moon Belgian white but I don't have that big of a fridge.
When it comes to beer I'm painfully aware, and freely admit that I do not have a discerning pallet. For me there are 3 categories of taste in beer: Those that taste good, those that taste bad, and those that have little or no taste (lite beer). I have enjoyed trying out all the new "crafted" beer and I like some of them more than others. The IPA beers are just to bitter for me but most are not bad;
Anyway, I was in a serious quandary this morning as I tried to decide which beer to have for today. I decided on the Budweiser Copper Lager. It isn't that easy to find and I haven't had any in a while. Judging from how I feel right now I'd say I made a good decision.
You know what, and this is just my opinion, Sometimes clarity is best achieved through inebriation.
Not the exotic hallucinogens, That stuff is too weird and I don't do that stuff. I'm talking about beer. It lets your brain relax and think more deeply without interference from the cares and woes of the day.
I don't do it very often but sometimes I just like to let the badger run.
I kind of needed this today for a very special reason. As things are shaping up it looks like we will be moving up to north central Texas some time next year. I'll get into all that later but I have lived in this house for 40 years. raised my family here. much love, life, joy, sorrow, loss and, well, life.
Even in this moment of enlightenment I am unable to describe how much a pat of my life this house is. It is the center of my world. Not just a place to keep my clothes and sleep. Everything revolves around it and the people I have shared it with for the last 40 years.
I love to travel. But when I do, no matter where I go or how long I stay away this is where I love to come back to.
I'll be moving to the compound where all the family is. Love the place and the people there. But it's their world. They carved it out and established their lives there..as I did HERE. In a way I feel like an intruder...out of my element if you see what I mean.
This is going to happen but not right away. Lots of stuff has to happen and it will take a while. I'll get into it in depth later on.
But I have spent the last few hours reflecting back on the last 40 years and all that I will lose and miss when we leave here...as well as pondering how my life will be after the move. All that I will gain and have for the rest of my life as that will be my last home on this earth. I always thought this would be he house they would carry me out of but now I can see that that last house has not been built yet but will soon be and there I'll be and there I'll end.
WOW! That's enough of that. I thank y'all for lettin' me blabber. I'm outta here.
