Memorial Day weekend right after the flood, 1981 there was an upcoming U.T. graduation party my brother was hosting at his apartment in the clubhouse. Various family members were invited, ranging from my father, his sister her husband, along with my mother, who had been divorced from my father for 7 years, her mother and father and a few other friends. Meanwhile, earlier in the day, my girlfriend, 11 years older than I, raising and training lab retrievers for several years, was taking part in the birthing effort of a new batch of puppies she had coming from a champion bitch, previously mated with a champion dog.

There was a show of some sort in Austin, one of which Lily Tomlin was involved in, a show that attracted my girlfriend to the extent she write Lily a note a few days before with some pictures of her and her dogs. She loved Lily Tomlin and had offered her one of the upcoming newborns that were soon to arrive. My girlfriend went a step further to call the hotel where she was staying to arrange the opportunity to give Lily one of the puppies. The "friend" or manager of Lily had answered the phone in a rather deep voice and passed the call on to Lily herself. This event led to an invitation and acceptance for Lily to come by the house and meet with one of her admirers along with viewing some newborn lab puppies.

Meanwhile, mom, grandma and grandpa were sitting at the couch engaging all the while, when all of the sudden a knock at the door sounded off. It was Lily, she had come uptown to visit my girlfriend after all. The puppies were being born at the time with all the help my girlfriend could offer. She was literally held up in the spare bedroom, focused exclusively on the new litter. I called in to say,"Lily is here!". She was too preoccupied so I spoke with Lily for about 20 minutes or so, all the while my family was in the other room still talking. Lily had worn some rather outrageously colorful/flamboyant pair of cowboy boots with her attire. I was discussing with her all my girlfriend had gone through to meet her and to arrange the visit. We had a nice visit for that short period of time and afterwards it was time for her to leave. She wasn't actually interested in owning a puppy. The peculiar thing, given the fact bitches give birth to puppies all the time, quite naturally at that...... my girlfriend had never opened the door to actually see Lily Tomlin's face, not even a glimpse. This was the last year this relationship lasted, even though many years later I became an ear for this woman whose next boyfriend, several years younger than I had left her for many of the same reasons Lily was ignored.....
