Another Tuesday

This Tuesday is different from other Tuesdays, it is a Scotch (Johnny Walker Black) Tuesday.  Needed the Scotch to help me become a blogger with confidence.

Actually I should be working on my genealogy.  Everyone in the family wants a book out of my information.  Do they not realize the work I would put on myself?  Hey, I'm a no pressure person since my mental breakdown in the late nineties.  Reader, if you invest more time perusing my blog you will come to understand what caused my mental meltdown. 

Through my genealogy research I discovered mental illness does run in my family, rampant.  My great uncle was sent to an asylum after running through the woods, naked, wielding an axe.  But I also discovered my Native American Indian ancestry.  In fact I'm entering research information in my Family Tree Maker about my visit to what I thought was a reservation.

A couple of years ago I drove from Houston to south Georgia to attend a Pow Wow.This is how my trip panned out.  First off there was no Wow to it.  The so called reservation was a small piece of land that no Creeks lived on.  I walked among the crowd spying an Indian wearing the traditional turban headdress.   I asked if I could take his picture.  When he told me no, I saw only 3 teeth.  I told him he didn't have to smile.  When he reached for his hatchet I immediately left.  These Creeks were so rude I almost went cowboy on them!  I then headed to the food.  Imagine that.  The menu offered Indian Tacos.  I couldn't wait to eat original Native American food.  My tacos didn't taste any different from the tacos here in Houston...the good old Tex-Mex tacos, except theirs were terrible.

Via telephone the Chief and me were to meet at this Pow Wow.  I looked and looked then asked several people where the Chief could be found.  Finally a gay man with a wolf skin boa told me he hasn't seen the Chief in several years.  Chief NO SHOW wasn't even there. 

I also have an excuse for not entering more genealogy information, I'm going bowling.  Maybe my Tuesday Scotch will loosen me up and I will finally bowl my 200.
