I say there ain't but ONE way that SWWOW gets the title as "Company Sweetheart". She must be put to the test. I will bring the "throne" to the next reunion too. We must come up with a few pertinent questions for her. There ain't no free lunch lady!

The status of our fearless leader as Commander of the TRA has not changed his "getting lost" habits. Here is what happened today: I'm driving into Sherman to meet the Rat at the IHOP. He wants to eat then go load up some stuff. He calls me just about the time I get there and says he is going to Kroger first and he will meet me at IHOP in a few minutes. So I go to IHOP and wait on him. And I wait...and I wait... Then I figure he is lost again even though the Kroger is only two blocks away. So I call his cell. A lady answers the call and I can tell right away she ain't Lynn or SWWOW. I ask who this is. She asks who I was. This is where it gets good. (And by the way, this is ALL true) I said I'm calling a friend of mine. She says this friend of yours must be the one who lost his cell phone out here in front of our store. I say you must be at Krogers. She says yes and one of their customers brought the phone in. She then tells me the customer saw the Rat drop the phone. The customer had told the kroger lady she tried to stop the Rat by yelling at him as he got in his truck, but he drove off without even acting like he heard anything. The customer tells the Kroger lady, " He looked like a real old guy so I guess he was deaf." (This is nothing but the truth so help me God)
So I tell the Kroger lady I'm on my way over there because the old deaf guy will get lost trying to find his phone. I get there and go in. The Kroger lady hands me the phone and says to me, "I hope you find that old feller." I go out in the parking lot and wait...and wait...and after several minutes the Rat drives up. He sees me when he gets out of his truck and asks me what the hell am I doing there. I said I just thought I'd meet him here at the Krogers in case he needed my help. Then I show him the phone and tell him I found it in the parking lot. He looks at it and says, "I'll be damned. It looks just like the one I lost here about an hour ago. I'm going in here to see if someone turned mine in."
This is exactly the way it happened. I do not know why I didn't play it out longer instead of telling him it really was HIS phone. I guess I'm just too good of a guy.
And Harry, I can PROMISE you that if this had happened a few days sooner I'd have texted you with his phone and "as a new tried and true Texan I'd bet you $200 per game that the Longhorns would beat LSU!
Hope your man enough to see my bet and raise me. The Rat"

Good morning boys,
I figured out and boy did I feel stupid when dad told me how to read the blogs. They are right there on the front page! I was thinking it was like the old blog and you had to go to a certain location. Ok, the blondeness in me is coming out.
I have to say that the reunion was AWESOME! I hope all those that could not attend this year are able to make it next year. You all will have a blast and it is good to see all the expressions on the faces of those who attend. It is a real pleeasure and honor to be a part of this great thing that is becoming a tradition.
Have a great day!

SWWOW
