Coming Attractions…
Jan has no affiliation nor any connection at all of which I'm aware with the folks at the cozy little bistro-bar in Cloudcroft, NM, where Big Wolf and I found this sign. She does, however, offer essentially the same services! I plan to indulge soon at Jan's Beach Bar & Grill just down the road here in good ole Montgomery, AL... maybe even soon at that other establishment out in the 'Land Of Entrapment', too...
The stools at Jan’s haven from mundane reality are among my very favorite viewing platforms for making wildlife observations, and that other party venue does display some unmistakable signs of potential, also. You can bet the farm, however, that there is some imminent pursuit of merriment during a cheerful relief celebration very much in order and long overdue for this not-so-much-lately rider!!!
In spite of the grave peril of lapsing back into the ‘planning’ mode of operation trap inherent in taking such a risk, I am still cautiously allowing myself to think ahead just a little… Not so much to lay out an efficient schedule or itemized list of priorities, but more to simply bolster my sagging enthusiasm… See, the daily treatment routines drone on, the shear monotony continues unabated, the perpetual inconvenience of it all never lets up… well, the whole thing is a major league downer… There is a brighter side, however!
Yep, next Wednesday I should receive my final of thirty-eight treatments (including make-ups) in this sequence, anyway, but hopefully forever: Only time will tell on that, but… It is encouraging to think about a near-term end, though, and to ponder a hearty party next week in celebration, plus to indulge a few fantasies of all the probable coming attractions! First things first… Continue with the unpleasantness for now. Second, conjure-up images and recollections of previous fun episodes at Jan’s sanctuary for confused souls. Also, dare to permit my thoughts to drift towards our girl and her companion heading off… in some direction… towards somewhere, anywhere, out yonder…
Well, I already know what the target of my very first road trip will likely be… Troutdude’s hacienda and bike-care center. Yep, ALI needs a rear end service and general going over to see if any new developments have arisen. It will also be very nice simply to visit with some mighty fine folks… especially without any overhanging negativity. That might not be our very first actual scoot, however…
Nope, I’m going to also need to hang around central Florida for a modest but an as yet unknown period of days or weeks to do some relationship maintenance… It shouldn’t take very long, however, as I do tend to grate on folk’s nerves in fairly short order with my mere presence. Yep, a week or two at most, then anybody would be happy to encourage our girl and this incurable gypsy to get back at it!
It seems my landlady has been dealing with her own set of issues lately, so she needs some company, an empathetic ear, and a little out of the ordinary activity… plus, she has a B-day coming up in two weeks or so… She is a wonderful and generous person, and she most assuredly deserves no less from the likes of this unworthy but most grateful beneficiary of her half century association.
That, of course, would increase the likelihood of a few short day-rides before any foray over to Bayou country materializes… Like, for instance, an always pleasant jog over to Newberry for some sensational BBQ; although, I am determined to try their pork chop offering on my very next visit! Plenty of other wonderful options are available, as well, but mostly the mere thought of something other than dealing with all that has consumed me the last couple of months is most welcome indeed!
