Well, a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, but we're
still having fun. :o)

The one I like to tell is when I went with a bunch of friends and attended
a Doors concert in San Diego. The building was foggy with MJ smoke and it
didn't matter if they played well or not, we were all happy to be there.

My girl friend at the time, worked for a body recruiter next door to a
small tavern on El Cajon Blvd, in SD. I'd go in there to wait for her to
get off work. Sometimes, enjoying a smoke at home first. A friend of mine
showed up and we went out back for anothe smoke. Pretty soon I was high
enough that I saw a (Alice in Wonderland) Cheshire cat smile on their
faces and the water in a Coors beer sign was rapidly rolling over the
rocks in a stream. (that sign was just a picture and had no graphics)

I was lucky enough where the glove compartment was close enough.
