Jade told me she had also worked at an airport strip club and was going to do that for a while. This was quite a long time ago in MPA time. Time to move on? Saddle up. Move out. Like two ships passing in the night, Yeah, that's it. Out with the old. In with the new for 06. Yes, she was very pretty and treated people right. Nice girl. I hope she is doing well. Rock on, Jade.
I think fondly of old times like this when the bulbs start to burn out on my Christmas tree. In fact, this tree was so perfect that I think I will just keep it up in my living room until July. Then I am going to take it into the backyard, load it with firecrackers, and light it for one last pyrotechnic salute to the best goddamn tree I ever had. I do not want to even think yet of walking into a strange forest looking for another tree with such perfect branches, but I know I will someday.
