Follow Me--I'm Having Drinks With Elvis

I saw this on a t-shirt at Luckenbach, Tx a couple of days ago.
Not that I am an Elvis fan--just thought it was clever. I don't necessarily believe that Elvis is still alive, although it seems plausible. Or perhaps the meaning is that the end is near and the person wearing the t-shirt is on his own farewell tour to join Elvis in the afterlife. Just give the elderly guy wearing it a break. The elderly guy was probably actually younger than me. Elderly is a fleeting definition to me. Also the guy in the t-shirt was accompanied by a lady wearing a dress made from flowered drapes (or so it appeared to me). Perchance she was the archangel who travels with Elvis. It only seems poetic that Elvis may be pondering a future performance at the Luckenbach Dancehall. Maybe he can sing a song along with Waylon Jennings who sang the Luckenbach, Texas song along with Willie Nelson and the boys. Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas for the next class gathering. Who knows what we will see? As an aside, here is a great answer to the next person who asks a question to you. Just say "Why do you ask?" and watch the dumbfounded look on the questioner's face. This answer works well with the mundane trite question "How are you?" Nobody actually wants to know how you are doing. It is just idle conversation. So how are you all doing? The Questionmeister |

Re how are you.......so funny and one conversation i have had lately. like, does how are you just attach to hello or hi.......does that person really care?? I think NOT.?? I try not to use the cliche as it annoys me when others do but i am sure that most people dont even think about it.? if we really cared how that other person is it would be amazing ..........most people cant seem to get their snoots out of their iphones etc.......we live in a generation of brain dead detached individuals.

much anymore, but I don't recall sending an attachment. Why do you ask? Anyways, here is a response. I am relatively ok. I'm not unwell. We saw Thomas Michael Riley who is a good entertainer. He actually talks to his audience between songs to add some flavor to his singing routines. I think he lives in Fredericksburg, Tx. He won the Texas Album Of The Year in 2010. Mr. Riley has written a number of successful songs. I think he wrote these songs: Cow Pasture Pool Perfectly Normal Redneck Riviera Deathbed Confession The best part of Luckenbach is that the day concerts are free.

their techie stuff. I still listen to vinyls, cassette tapes, and even more modernly--cd discs. Nothing really beats scratchy distorted vinyls however. The sound of vinyls is pure sound. Maybe the vinyls are coming back. Probably to meet Elvis. Whatever happened to Mathias Koops? I voted for him in 1976. Pardon me. You must have mistaken me for someone who actually cares about the 1976 election. As I recall, the peanut farmer won that election. Those were the days of high interest rates and rampant inflation. Now in these Obama days we can now enjoy low interest rates and inflation. Nothing like low interest rates to give me some near zero returns on money market accounts. Sure makes retirement challenging (to say the least). Time to put some fuel in my vehicles before the prices increase daily. I wish all sporadic good times. Looking forward to a dim future, The Realismeister (or is it Realismmeister?) Why do I ask? Does the questionmark belong before or after the parenthesis? I don't have the time to look it up in my Plain English Handbook. I assume that the Plain English Handbook is written in English. There probably is now a Spanish version. It's hopeless if that is true. Adios y'all The Mexicanmeister --- In dalton59@..., patricia lee <pjlee1117@...> wrote:
