Since Emilio and I wanted to party on and hear some music, we decided to head to another club. The girls wanted to join us and we told them to meet us at The Billiard Club. We ran into a number of friends at the club and, as always, my friend James the bartender served me a scotch on the rocks before I was even seated. James is one of the best bartenders I've ever met and he always has great jokes to tell. A relatively young man, James is also a knowledgeable investor and he told me that he'd be retiring soon. It will be strange to go to the club and not see James, but I wish him the best of luck.
One of the more pleasant moments of the evening came when I struck up a conversation with a striking lady sitting at the bar. I had noticed her immediately when I arrived and when I noticed that she had been somewhat conversationally cornered by someone, I decided to introduce myself. Her name is Silvia and besides being pretty, she is a teacher who is studying for her masters degree. We began to chat and since I was considering writing a story today about AREA 51, I asked her if I could take her picture. I told her about Jimmy's Journal and a little bit about the AREA 51 experience and she was kind enough to allow me to take a few pictures. I have quite a few lady friends who are teachers and they're always fun to speak with.
I really had no idea of the time but I soon discovered that it was a lot later than I thought. My first indication of the hour was when the lights in the club slowly began to brighten. I don't know exactly what time we left, but when I arrived home, the first thing I noticed was that the clock read 4:16. Oddly enough, the first thing that came to mind was John 3:16. If there is a John 4:16, It would probably read, "for God so loved the world, he took Jimmy off the streets at this date in time."
Then again, maybe not......
Congratulations to Rachel Alexandra, the first filly since 1924 to win the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday. With Kentucky Derby winning jockey Calvin Borel aboard, the gallant filly held off Derby winner Mine That Bird to win the second race of the Triple Crown. The Belmont Stakes, the third and final race of the Triple Crown should be fantastic.
Tony Stewart was the winner of the Nascar All Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Saturday night, winning a cool one million dollars for his efforts. Stewart took the lead from Matt Kenseth with two laps remaining and held off Kenseth and third place Curt Busch for the victory.It was Stewart's first win as a car owner since leaving the the Joe Gibbs racing team.
This Date In History: 1804; Napoleon Bonaparte is proclaimed emperor of France by the Senate and Tribunate. 1910; Halley's Comet is seen from the Earth as it passes in front of the sun. 1974; India successfully detonates its first nuclear device. 1980; Mount St Helens volcano in Washington state erupts, causing an outbreak of fires, mudslides, and floods.
Picture Of The Day: During the course of any evening, one occasionally finds one's self in a conversational void. As the conversation at my table was nearing that particular chasm, I was fortunate enough to sit and speak with Silvia for some time and she is quite interesting to speak with.
Her charming smile and witty remarks was a welcome oasis in an otherwise desert of inane conversations around the bar. It was a pleasure meeting her.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming:
A week after their marriage, the newlyweds paid a visit to their doctor. The husband says, "I can't figure it out doc, and I'm really worried. My testicles are turning purple." The doctor says, "That's unusual, Let me examine you." The doctor takes a look and sure enough, the husband's testicles are purple.
The doctor turns to the wife and asks, "Are you using the diaphragm that I prescribed?" The wife answers, "Yes, I am," The doctor asks "And what kind of jelly are you using with it?" The wife replies, "Grape." A woman was called in front of a Texas grand jury for possible manslaughter charges after she shot a mugger 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse . She had her hand on her gun when he grabbed the purse, and she was left with the revolver in her hand.
When asked by the grand jury why she shot the man 6 times in the back as he was running away she replied under oath, "Because when I pulled the trigger the 7th time it only went click." She was acquitted of all charges...... That's the way it is in Texas!
Two 80 year old men sat talking over the weather and the latest in medical science, and such, when one brings up the latest male medical miracle, Viagra. The other wasn't familiar with Viagra and asked the first man what it was for.
The first man said, "It's the greatest thing I've ever known. The Fountain of Youth! Makes you feel like a man of 30." The second man then asked, "Can you get it over the counter?" The first man replied, "You probably could, if you took 2 pills."
That's it for today my little munchkins. More on Wednesday.
Stay Tuned !
