Am I supposed to feel as guilty about eating a whole pizza if I did it in three sittings over a two-day time period?  I had good stuff inbetween…sort of.

***Note:  Pizza depicted in photo is not actual pizza consumed…although it does look pretty tasty :)  Maybe I should get another…  NO, NIKKI…NO!!!

What happens when you bring together a musician and a writer?  Great songs?  Armageddon?  Love?  Guess we’ll have to wait and see…

Another birthday has come and gone, and I, for one, am relieved to see it in my rearview mirror.  I am excited, however, about the upcoming year.  Something tells me there will be ‘lotsa changes ‘ol Max…lotsa changes…’ (little Dirty Dancing reference for those of you who haven’t had your morning coffee…or vodka - whatever).

It’s time to switch things up a bit…get the ball rolling…add some new skills to the repertoire.  I suspect there will be some mighty fine blog posts as a result of said changes.  Hold on tight…it could be a bumpy ride.

My mother has agreed to make me her homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy for our joint birthday dinner on Sunday (real bday Saturday…but I’ll be kickin’ it with my peeps that night - okay…that was creepy). Anyway…back to fried chicken.  We’re pretty much bombarded on a daily basis about what to eat and what not to eat.  Sunday, I’m taking a day off from the guilt.  And I’m eating ’til I have to be rolled out of the room.  No, I will not tell you which birthday it is…but stuffing myself silly with guilt-ridden food should give you an idea of how excited I am about it.  And why does it seem like my last birthday was moments ago?  When I’m in a water district meeting, time literally stops…seconds lasting for days.  But you pass thirty, and birthdays arrive at breakneck speed.  Damn you, time.  Damn you to hell.  But bless you, fried chicken.
