Big E said... Well, no family gathering is complete without at least one interloper, a perpetual malingerer and ne'er do well; someone who sits in the corner and everyone asks, "who's that guy and who brought him?" No, I ain't a Kelson/Burns/Mueller/Shelby/etc., but I have earned my Frio Stripes - I have been washed clean by the caressing waters of the blessed Frio, and I said one day I would gird my loins, put on a helmet, take a pill (or shot, or whatever), and see if I could hang with the big boys at the REAL DEAL 4TH OF JULY EXTRAVAGANZA! I've heard many a tale, but only come around at other second-rate times of the year. Well, I'm in. I will be flyin' solo, in that Lo and the kids are rendezvous'n with the OUTLAWS, and I had to flip a coin (two-headed one to be sure...) LEAKEY WON!! I'm bringin' my tent, sleepin' bag, GOLF CLUBS, bug spray, GUITAR, and WOODSTOCK repellent. Only one request - Don't put me with the boys, the mutts, or the mudders next door. I'll find a quiet place to pitch my tent. Arrival time mid afternoon July 3. I will get with ya'll about food requirements. If any family members, the health department, attendees of lesser Southwest Conference Schools, or other naysayers protest my appearance in Leakey, well then we're gonna have to rumble. Meet you on the Con-Can Country Club 18, and we'll see who's standin' after that.Yours Always - Unka Big E June 26, 2007 4:34 PM
