Pickin’ and Packin’
OK, so it’s the night before the Display of Drunken Debauchery of Egomaniacal Bloggers Georgia Writers (Writers’?) Workshop. I missed Woodstock (I was in service at the time), but I’m not missing Jekyll, the Yasgur’s Farm of the 21st Century (at least, for me). I’m stoked.
Damned if I can figure out what to pack, because I don’t really give much of a shit about that as long as I remember to bring my money, credit cards, glasses (the sign of a “Woodstock Generation Guyâ€), and my farookin’ guitar.
…..Fast Forward………
TJ and Mr. Surly just showed up, having come from the tax guy for a last minute tax return adjustment. We’re going to a local diner for diner food. I can put off packing yet again.
…..Fast Forward………
Ate a bunch of way too greasy (and, therefore, delicious) food, so now I really, really have to pack. No more putting it off.
……Fast Forward…….
Finished packing. I have a small suitcase full of what I currently think I will need. I really don’t know if I brought all the necessaries, but I did pack extra underwear, out of fear, instilled by my granny, that I might get hit with a bus and show up in the Emergency Room with dirty underwear. The ambulance people may shovel my guts off the street, but, by God, I’ll be wearing clean underwear.
I had done a bit of pickin’ last night to confirm that my fingers were still attached to my left hand and that they still moved on command. I had intended to do a bit more pickin’ tonight, but after the diner chow and a couple cocktails I think I’ll just pack Mr. Guitar and wing it in Jekyll.
Next stop, Newark Airport.
You’d better call me! I want to hear all the fun!

I think I’m too late, but don’t forget four packs of matches. And leave the lighter at home. Have a great time – can’t wait to see the pictures.

Yeah, isn’t it illegal to pack a lighter in your checked bags? Because it’s a fire/explosion hazard?
The new lighter ban sux.

I’m sure your “wingin’ it” will be just fine. Wish I could be there to hear it. Y’all have a great time, now – ya hear?

Thank God mom doesn’t read the blog. Remember, you had spinach salad and a glass of water. Your secret is safe with me. 😉 Have one hell of a time!

Clean underwear is important – especially if you’re likely to end up wearing it on your head.
