I’m struggling with a moral dilemma.

Stopped in for happy hour at a place with a deal of three “Irish tacos” which are basically like lamb tacos in a potato chip shell.

I don’t love them but the salsa is really good and they smell REALLY good.

1/3

I will like them less than their enticing aroma suggests. I know this. Yet, I fall for it every. single. time.

Sooooo, get the Irish tacos or no?

I mean, I could just put a lot of salsa on them.

I have 3 minutes to make this decision...

2/3

The bartenders like me, so I could possibly stretch this to a max of 18 minutes.

This is what they look like.

What’s a horse to do?

3/3

Postscript:

Oh, who am I kidding.

They’re four dollars.

I am weak AF.

I would confess to a crime I didn’t commit for three tacos for $4.

Do not entrust your secrets to me. I’m a taco away from rolling on you.

Okay, because we’re open with each other, I’m just going to be straight with you about what happened after I ate those tacos.

I paid my tab and went into the men’s room.

Over the sound system came the Dixie Chicks’ cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide”.

I’m not gonna lie here.

I offered a pretty full-throated accompaniment. I mean, like, I was hitting it.

🎶 Can I sail through the changing ocean tides 🎵
🎶 Can I handle rhe seasons of my life 🎵

I mean, it was me and Natalie Maines - who I assume likes lamb tacos - just laying ourselves bare

🎶 Take this love... and take it down 🎵

I was all up on it.

And then...

...someone walked in.

He looked at me. I looked at him.

And then I looked him in the eye and added:

🎵 The landslide will bring you down 🎵

🎵 I’ve been afraid of changing because I’ve built my life around you 🎵
🎶 But time makes you bolder. Children get older. And I’m getting older too... 🎵

Well, I’m getting older too.

Sing whatcha want. Sing where you want. It ain’t nothing but a life well lived.

I’ve now considered both the original Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks and Dixie Chicks/Natalie Maines versions on the way home.

The best version would be Stevie Nicks singing the Dixie Chicks’ arrangement.

That song needs to be a bit more adagio.

Don’t @ me.

I have now consulted with my dogs.

They agree.

They hear things we can’t even here.

So, if you disagree, you’re wrong.
