Thank you for taking me along with you on this wonderful journey, friend.

If I had any doubt about the effect of BBM on society in general, it was put to rest last night.

I went with my partner to our favorite Mexican Resturant, got a table outside next to one with a young lady, her date and a third wheel. The young lady's brother and his date were at the table on the other side. I know this because he verified that was her on her i.d. for the waiter.

They boyfriend and the thrid wheel were what I would call "Redneck Metrosexuals" Well dressed, perfect skin, product on the hair, and deffinatly only a generation out of the trailer park. What got my attention was when the third wheel said he had seen Brokeback Mountain.

I whispered to my partner: "Did you hear that?" We tuned in to hear him say there was only one or two places that "you know" and that it was a really good movie. I glance over at the other guy, the look of stunned, wide eyed amazement on his face. His buddy said some girl had asked him if there really was gay cowboys. I didn't catch all of it.

They finished before whe did and left the young lady sitting by herself while they both went in to pay the bill. In the parking lot I saw them one more time.

"Look" I said "It's Ennis, Jack and Alma" They young lady was patietly waiting, not realizing she had become the third wheel, and not just in my mind.

I know not what will come of these three, but today I will have in mind all the spouces, Callies, Almas and Lureens, who have been effected by their loved ones confronting their truths. It ain't their fault.
