Yesterday was a great day in some ways and a cruddy day in others. I went to San Antonio early in the morning to donate plasma. Now I had ulterior motives in wanting to donate seeing that you can make a little green in doing so. So I arrived at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center at about 9 a.m. only to find out that plasma donations are done by appointment only. Cruddy. So I kicked around San Antonio for a few hours and then headed to San Marcos to take care of the whole lawyer situation. Cruddy. I got to San Marcos, paid the lawyer and was done with everything I had to get done, so I headed out to see if Manny, Brent or Pulver was home.
Manny was there when I got there and we got to hang out for a bit before Pulver and Brent got home. It was a great afternoon. Just like old times. We made fun of each other, hit each other (you have to know us all to understand that one) and just hung out. It was getting close to time for me to leave when Pulver said that I couldn't without singing some tags. I hadn't even considered this for some reason and it made me a bit nervous to tell you the truth. I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it through one without bawling like a schoolgirl. But, we sang one anyway and I couldn't help but grin. I mean ear to ear grin. We sang tags for about 30 minutes and then I had to head out.
I then proceeded to cry the whole way back to San Antonio. Which, FYI, is not a good idea at around 5 p.m. on I-35 traffic. But it was a good cry in some ways. I realized just how much I missed those guys and just how much I am missing barbershop. I went from barbershopping almost every day to stopping cold turkey. i miss it with every fiver of my being and I wish I could get a "barbershop fix" here in Pleasanton but that is not going to happen. Just another consequence of my actions.

Gotta tell you that I am glad/proud that you make the comment that something you love is axed because of your actions. It is great not to hear excuses or blame or all the crude that the world says you have a 'right' to.
Keep it up. It gives me hope and, well, to steal your line, a grin from ear to ear.
As long as people are stealing your lines - it made me smile to hear you got to see the guys and sing tags. I know they miss you too. By the way...next time you are in San Marcos, you should say hi. That would be great.
