black hole, black hole take me away

i am tired [of working [this much]]. the man is relentless these days. losing the mental game, get a grip. i could always use a break, but i feel confident in need right now. next week i wander to the "black hole of texas", as my friend kari calls it. dallas has much more to offer these days. it's come a long way since reunion arena, papagallo's boredom, silver spoons, copeland's popcorn shrimp, and gram's cloud of smoke. i now have a big brother to hug (doubling as a tax accountant to thank), a nephew to hold, and friends to savor. when all my girls are wed (which seems will be soon), i'll find another reason. i don't really like dallas, but i like what it holds.
