Texas thanksgiving.

Yesterday I got to meet Mom's boyfriend, Mike Backhome. He was Mom's boyfriend in high school and when she and Dad were dating, and Dad did not want her to go back to Mike Backhome so he proposed. So Mike's wife died (not very long ago) and he and Mom hooked up. They have been visiting back and forth and now they are in San Antonio with Christy. Mike seems very nice, he's smart but smart like I am. Idiot savant style. He is an Aerospace Engineer but couldn't figure out his 5mp old camera. This thing was huge. Crazy. He talks a lot and it's sort of interesting because he has been to loads of places but of course, he doesn't realize my favorite subject is ME and never brought it up. He and Chris were outside talking and he told Chris he wanted to get a prenuptual agreement because he wanted to make sure if Mom died that we would get her money. Her will already says that. I don't know. And yes, they are prolly gonna get married. It just seems really fast to me. They have spent like 2 weeks actually together and the rest of the time, he's in California. They will probably live in M'boro. Anyway, he's an old white dude, kind of hard of hearing, nice enough.

I have been meaning to mention one thing I have noticed about Texas that is WAY different than Tennessee. The black folks here are just normal folks. Not that stereotype that we see SO MUCH in Tennessee. The pants fit. They aren't being trashy or thugs. Just regular folks. I LOVE it. I know it's not PC to say it, but it's just different. Maybe it was just at Meharry things were different. I saw 2 extremes there though. It's the largest medical school for black folks and so all the students and doctors are black and really educated and easy to talk to. The patients were completely the opposite.

And yes, I like this part right here.
