Thursday April 12, 1990 The Last Goddamn Ride
PSBFH dropped me off at Tradition (Tradition - the only thing in my life worth capitalizing) on her way out of town. She looked at John's crappy house and asked me, "This is where you go every Thursday?"
Yes.
"Kinda pathetic Clinky."
It is my great hope that she's using her old pet name for me out of cruelty rather than a sign of some last remaining feelings from those days of love.
Anyway, I use it here out of cruelty, mostly directed at me for allowing myself to be called something so stupid. I should've been Sweet Dick.
As I got out of the car I asked her, "And you're going where this weekend? To your parents' club to break up with the 40 year old quack of animal medicine who put your dog to sleep three years ago?"
"We can't go to the club. Everyone is mad at Dr. Ray for dating me."
Maybe the people there were more decent than I thought. I thanked her for the ride and got the fuck out of the Thunderbird. I hope it's the last goddamn ride I ever take in that thing.
Holly and John were the only ones at Tradition at this point and I asked, "Who wants to go in on a bottle of Thunderbird with me?"
No takers.
Regular drinking, no street wine, mostly beer and a little of the good Scotch John stole from the liquor store last summer.
Day off for the SOX. I still don't understand why they opened in Chicago and played Game Two in Milwaukee (or at one of the eight places that host Brewer and Packer games in Wisconsin). It's not enough for the Brewers to suck in one stadium, they have to have two. The whole state needs to see them suck, and apparently can't go two days without seeing them suck. Some cheese-eating Muscovite from Madison made a law in what passes their state government (which is more Politburo then democratic assembly) saying, "Our precious Brewers can only play once in Chicago then they must return to the State!"
Why am I hurling so much animosity at the Brewers? I sort of like the Brewers. I like Wisconsin too, it's pretty up there.
I'm an idiot.
Now that I think of it, maybe it is only the Packers who play in two stadiums.
Yes, I'm definitely an idiot.
