Dudleys Diary

looks like we all survived another one. Last night was pretty uneventful, nothing like the weird experience last New Years. Frank and a bunch of his friends spent the night out at a friends lake house. He called me last night to tell me he had seen a big whitetail buck on the side of the road a few miles from his destination. I told him those hills are full of deer. He was not far from my Uncle's ranch on the Brazos river where Dudley and Frank's grandfather had many enjoyable camping and hunting trips in years past. Too bad my Aunt sold the ranch after my uncle died. Dudley did not do anything for New Years other than stay home and watch t.v. Dudley enjoyed watching Robbie Knievel jump the volcano at the Mirage in Las Vegas. Dudley and wife stayed there years ago back when Dudley was still gainfully employed by a top Fortune 50 corporation. the company paid for the trip which made it even better. Frank is on his way back to East Texas. He is going to do some more deer hunting. The season ends Sunday so if he is going to get a buck down at his grandfathers farm, he is going to have to do it pretty soon. He was going to buy a bag of shelled corn on the way out of town and put it out in the right of way he hunts over. Dudley's wife and daughter have gone shopping and Dudley is getting ready to pay bills online. After that, Dudley is going to watch the rerun of the classic auto auction on Speed and then may take a nap. Might as well start the new year off right!
