What Happened To Me In Quintana Roo 8
-----------------------------------------
31) On bus, ggs remembers at least three occasions on which
he looked in his dresser drawer and saw his $40 in American
money lying there and thinking it is *not* a good idea to leave
that money there and then going off to do something else.  Return
to the Palace finds -ggs looking in drawer at a significantly
*empty* space where the $40 had been.  Spends several moments
frantically throwing clothes from drawer to floor and ignoring
tc, who keeps asking what are you doing why don't you anwer me
what are you *doing*.....  So, -ggs confesses how incredibly
dumb he has been and no he does not want to report it to the
manager because he does not want to get into it so tc gets
tacky about the toy and refuses to go out to eat as planned.
-ggs yells something about not <putting up> with this shit
which gives tc the opportunity she had been anxiously awaiting
to say, to whit, that -ggs shouldn't yell at her when she is
trying so hard to be nice.  (this is a familiar scene in the
HSH, but new to the Palace wink wink).....  -ggs leaves,
probably closing door a little more forcibly than necessary,
but unsure of that itsy bitsy detail....
32) -ggs returns promptly, having decided to report it, *tomorrow*
so tc agrees to board city bus and go to where the bright lights
are and eat at *Carlos 'n Charlies* ---- BIG MISTAKE !!!!
Get off at huge mall shopping center and look at fine jewelry,
-ggs whispering in tc's ear that he is planning to buy her a
bauble the size of <one's> fist with his mama's money, and tc
melts like butter.....   life is easy when <one> is rich.
After checking out the 4 carat diamonds, ggs and tc agree that
it is best to wait a bit and board a bus, randomly, for C 'n C's.
BIG MISTAKE!!!!!
33) Because, on the bus, this of all the dozens of buses that
might have passed, is not only the sign: Ask For Your Ticket And
Destroy While You Live but also more of ggs' friends from San
Antonio, one of which must, just *must* kiss -ggs on *both*
sides of his face.  And tc is not pleased and starts thinking
about a certain '71 Mazda Miata, silver as the hair on -ggs'
head, on which he is about to have his hand with a knot under
it.  It is not my fault that these women want to kiss me in front
of my wifey-poo.  La culpa no es mia.
34)  After the difficult introductions, we descend only to find
that said colleagues, enjoying my predicament are also <going to
Carlos 'n Charlie's....  But I walk ahead and do not invite them
to join us, and tc says didn't you want to eat with them?  No.  Why
not?  I wanted to be alone with you (right answer, yes?  Ongwray!)
You didn't want to eat with them?  No.  (Then later.... )  Sweet
tc, my love, did you want to eat with them?  Jesus, no!  Then *why*
did you keep asking me why I didnt want to, I thought you did?  Well,
I just wondered why you didnt want to.  (And then -ggs thinks about
the timeshare salesman and remembers that men and women dont understand
each other.
35) In the door of Carlos 'n Charlie's and fight with waiter who does
not want to put us upstairs where we can see the water, but finally
does because he can perceive that tc is thinking about the toy again.

--ggs (the system just will *not* die tonight......)
