not me, of course. i\u2019m still sitting here in my jammies on the couch watching meet the press, reading the paper and saving the comics for last.<\/p>\n

but kevin, he was up early and has gone off to shoot things.<\/p>\n

targets, that is. with the Single Action Shooting Society, the new group he has become a member of. it\u2019s an international organization with chapters all over, and kevin\u2019s friend jerry introduced him to the club. so once a month, early on sunday morning, kevin now gets all duded up and goes out to shoot. here\u2019s a little bit of information about the SASS from their website:<\/p>\n

One of the unique aspects of SASS approved Cowboy Action Shooting\u2122 is the requirement placed on costuming. Each participant is required to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, a Hollywood western star, or an appropriate character from fiction. Their costume is then developed accordingly. Many event participants gain more enjoyment from the costuming aspect of our sport than from the shooting competition, itself. Regardless of a SASS member\u2019s individual area of interest, SASS events provide regular opportunities for fellowship and fun with like-minded folks and families.<\/p>\n

and here\u2019s the website, in case you might want to learn more: Single Action Shooting Society<\/a><\/p>\n

kevin and i went to their annual luncheon about a month ago and i desperately wished i\u2019d taken a camera. one guy was, indeed, dressed like a hollywood wester actor, with a lavish blue shirt with yellow flowers and some rhinestones, and his boots…they were magnificent. red white and blue. DANG, they would have been a perfect final touch for my video. but they probably would have been too big for me. plus it would have been tricky to try to wrest them away from the guy.<\/p>\n

anyway, so they all get dressed up and tote all their old-timey guns and shotguns to this range and commence a shootin.<\/p>\n

here is kevin, ready to go. at this point mollie hopes that she might get to go, too, but they don\u2019t allow cowboy dogs.<\/p>\n

\"kevin<\/p>\n

here he\u2019s standing next to this thing he\u2019s been building for the past couple of days. it\u2019s a carrier for his guns, plus a little box for bullets and extra…stuff.<\/p>\n

\"kevin<\/p>\n

here are the kitties, milling about on the kitchen counter waiting for more food, not caring about the lack of hygiene because of kitties on the counter, not really caring who is staying or going, they JUST WANT MORE FOOD.<\/p>\n

\"kitties<\/p>\n

kevin, all loaded up with all his stuff…<\/p>\n

\"loaded<\/p>\n

and here he is, going out into the cold grey morning, ready to shoot \u2019em up.<\/p>\n

\"cold<\/p>\n

i guess i should get up off the couch now. i hope your sunday is fun-filled and warm. we\u2019re headed to randy\u2019s house tonight for a HUGE OSCARS BASH.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n

still sunday morning grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
