My Dad turned fifty-three today. The immediately family all went to Johnny Corinos for dinner. Damn good food. Had a surprisingly good time of it as well.
I was going to take him to buy him a gun he's wanted, a Model 29 Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum (it's the quintessential .44 Magnum of our time), but got a late start of it, so went to get him a Remington 870 twelve gauge shotgun, for when he goes goose hunting, but had troubles with my ID (it's not exactly valid right now) and couldn't buy it. I took him to get him to buy it in his name, but he said he had no need of it just yet - since he has no future plans of goose hunting. That was news to me.
Also, I got a new keyboard today. Finally, it's the kind I'm used to, one of those big ass ones with the wrist pads and whatnot. Sitting right next to it on the display was one of those miniture keyboards that I can't understand how human hands can operate. Those are tiny little keyboards - you'd need to use a pencil just to hit the right key.
Decided not to tell any of my family here in San Antonio about the impending move. Don't want it to get back to my main client, and it fucking will, until I know more about the particulars. Besides, I want it to come from my mouth and not someone elses....damn gossip mongers.
I have also decided to up the five hundred dollar bid I have on that dream car of mine on eBay to two grand. I can BARELY swing this, and would need to borrow the plane fair just to drive up there and get it, but who knows...maybe I'll get lucky and actually win the bid. This is incredibly unlikely - it's a ten thousand dollar car on it's worst day.

Oh, well, ain't that a bitch...that car I was bidding on is suddenly up to six grand already, and with five days left on the auction...guess I can kiss that dream the fuck goodbye....
