Reality bites

I'm trying to make the best of a very tough reality. Coleen had dinner with Mark last night so I guess they've made up. I saw her during the day and the last thing she said to me was she would call me later. I was having a discussion with Dave in the bar when I felt I made the most profound observation.

Dave is pretty friendly with Coleen and said how sad it is that she wants something (i.e.; marriage) she's never going to get from Mark, so why does she stay with him. I told him it's like someone how goes to a casino and spends all day putting money in a single slot machine. You don't want to walk away because you think it's just about to pay off so you keep putting more and more money in and it never does pay off big. Just the occasional give back. At the end of the day what do you have.

So I'm left wondering just how her evening went, but I suspect probably like most of the others. They had a nice dinner, watched tv and went to bed. I'd rather not dwell on the last part.

This is Tigger my cat. He seems to like to lay on my glass table on the patio. It must be cooler.

And this would be Brody, Janet's dog. I stopped in to visit last evening and played with him. He is very active and I forgot how much fun it could be to just throw a ball to a dog.

These are the things I am trying to keep my thoughts on today. Because some of the other ones are not so great. I have the frieworks to look forward too on Friday night (4th of July). So far it's looking more and more like it's going to be an all family event. Most of my friends seem to have alternate plans. I'll still take pictures and have my fun.
