Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

Trip To Abilene
TRIP TO ABILENE. This is mainly for my fellow Democrats. This guy and his wife are sitting around with his in-laws in a little Texas town called Clyde. It is like a 100 degrees in the shade. Somebody comes up with the idea of going to Abilene to the Cafeteria for supper. They load into their 48 Olds and drive the sixty miles. They have no air conditioner, the Olds has no springs. It is the most miserable trip ever. The meal is worst in the history of eating They get back in the car and drive home. They walk in the house and the wife begins to cry and turns to her husband and says, “This is all your fault.” They begin to talk and they can’t come up with who suggested it and they discover that nobody wanted to go to Abilene.
the moral of the story…ask yourself often: am I taking a trip to Abilene?make sure you truly want to FO something before you make the decision.
