My beloved old fart Greyfox had a rough day yesterday. It was the annual Holiday Bizarre (I know, I know… they spell it the other way, but believe me, I got closer to the mark). Weather and road conditions were unpleasant. His table was set up right next to that of the local Brownie troop, and that man’s misanthropy is heavily weighted toward the young of the species. This being his last business day of the year (He’ll venture out in January for Winter Carnival, and then as soon as daytime temps are in the twenties and the snowplow has been through Talkeetna, he’ll be back on Main Street.), he cut prices on everything and made it a lucrative, but not very profitable, day.
I was on the PS2 when he got home, so he got on here and banged away at the keys for ‘way longer than it should have taken to produce ArmsMerchant’s latest blog. His explanation is that he edited it this time. So, that’s cleared up. What I don’t get is how he managed to get loud belly laughs out of both Doug and me, with a story we’ve both heard numerous times before. Since I’m going back to the PS2 for a while now, and won’t be working on memoirs until later today (thank you, Robin, for the added motivation–and anyone who wants to add to my motivation is welcome to click the little purple hat up top) you might as well check out Greyfox’s blog.

I am so stupid about Alaska. I just never think of people in Alaska playing video games. LOL. I guess I just think you hunt and track stuff all day. Man, am I naive.
I think it is from marrying Shack Man. I thought living here in a shack in the mountains (facing north) was kind of what it must be like to live in Alaska, and guess what? No PS2. Just Car Talk on the radio…
Poor Greyfox…..glad you are continuing with your writings. The psychic that I went to see on Friday night labelled some health issues for me to do with metabolic biochemical sensitivities and go figger, I started to do some net searching and what did I come up with? Fibro and chronic fatigue syndrome…sigh….I have alot of work to do. In any case, I wrote a blog and I’d love to have your brand of wisdom in a comment if you feel like looking…..lubs ya
write on. It’s nice to spend a lazy day, kicked back in the chair, on sitting crosslegged on the floor, running my Smashmouth Buccanears offense all over Pittsburgh on the PS2. You just can’t get lulled into making that your reality, your main mode of operation.
I love days where you can just hang out and play…
