... the funniest men I have ever heard and offers more wisdom than most pastors I have heard all my life. Brilliant. I listen when I am at "Planet Hollywood" and laugh so hard while I am working out that folks start laughing at my laughing. I am a writer and this young man has taught me, 69, quickly to write with the levity my life is already filled with. Recently I went to church service on Sunday evening then went down the street to a steakhouse in High Point, NC I frequently visit to hook up with a bartender who is the most immature and irresponsible 32-year-old millennial I have ever met. Because he had pissed me off so badly, I sat at a table and had Kim serve me my specially concocted Beefeater martini that Dennis always makes so well. He made a perfect one.

There was a football game and my phone to keep me occupied, so I sipped my cocktail, twiddled my thumbs, and waited for Dennis to speak. He didn't. After a half-hour, I ordered another and did the same thing for another period. He didn't. Next, I ordered a shot of Jameson's Irish, sipped, twiddled, and waited. He didn't. Fifteen minutes later, that shot was gone, and I ordered another so that I could leave Kim a large tip. He didn't. Fifteen minutes later, I ordered another, went to the restroom without stumbling. I was sure I didn't, I think so, went back to my table, sipped on my shot, and waited. He didn't. It was now after closing, and almost everyone was else was gone except the off-duty HPPD cop who was working that night and walked over to my table to ask if I planned to drive home that night. I said a sure thing. I only lived a mile away and shouldn't have any problems, but he promised I would. He told me there was an on-duty cop across the street at the mall who was going to haul my smart ass to jail if I pulled out of the parking lot. I stated that I had never been to jail before, so let's go. I went to my convertible which was topless at the moment and started the engine. He ran up beside me and said I'm not letting you drive out of this parking lot, but I exclaimed that I needed to put up my top and go home. He asked if there was anyone who would come to get me, and I laughed at the lack of possibility of my bride making that trip since I had our only car, she wasn't going to drive a Hemi to get me, and she had been in bed for an hour by that time....and I didn't want to walk! He called over the cop in the mall parking lot and asked her to take me home. She opened the back door as any excellent chauffeur does and I asked that since I was catching a ride in the backseat of an uncomfortable police limousine, would they kindly put the cuffs on me so I could see how they felt. They weren't amused, but I suspect that they laughed a lot once I left, laughing all the way home. She dropped me off at the end of my driveway, and as a proper chauffeur opened the back door of that car because unlike most limousines, there are no handles for us to get out of the backseat of those cars.

I "kinda" skipped up the driveway, opened the garage door, and laughed going into a quiet house but still laughing as I sent Dennis a text.

The next morning, I called the guy who details my vehicles and lives close by, to pick me up, and drive my Audi home. He brought it home to detail, and my bride never knew until I burst out laughing later as I told her.
