Misty offers one for the Boys



Am in my last days soaking up the Tucson sun. Ahhhh, yes, this poolside view of Pusch Ridge is amazing, we are taking a horseback trek up the side at sunset. Went to Old Tucson studios after dark last night where a palm reader offered me the most wonderful view of my future.

Keri is married off, UofA lost against Oregon, and have enjoyed visiting with friends old and new. Things are winding down, dinner at Hacienda del Sol after a Swedish massage so I thought I would let up enjoy a little ha ha that Misty shared with me.

A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.

The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, "If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?"

"No, I stopped drinking years ago," the bum said.

"Will you use it to gamble?"

"I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive."

"Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?"

"Are you NUTS! I haven't played golf in 20 years!"

The man said, "Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars.

Instead, I'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."

The bum was astounded.

"Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."

The man replied, "That's OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf."
