A number of years ago I lived in Fla. I owned a beautiful house, along with two very good friends, right on Tampa Bay. I miss that house.. I keep in touch with both Mark and Jim to this day. Jim still lives in that same house with his wife and two kids.

At the time, I had a girlfriend also living with me. Her name was Cathy. She was something else and the story about how we met will be the NEXT post..

She is/was a six foot tall, Nordic blonde type, totally insatiable and man-o-man was she gorgeous...

But I digress...

On the night in question, Jim and Mark had gone out to the bars and Cathy and I had stayed home for some sex. Go figure... It was about 2-3:00am and we where asleep when I was woken up by a sound in the bedroom. I sat up in the bed and the noise stopped.

I figured I was dreaming and laid back down. A few moments later, there was the noise again. This time, it woke Cathy up as well...

I finally reached over and switched on the light and lo and behold, there on the dresser was the biggest fucking armadillo I'd ever seen!

It turns out that there was some gum, wrapped up in some cellophane in an ashtray on the dresser and the armadillo was trying to get at it. That was the noise we where hearing..

A number of things all happened simultaneously at that point...

Cathy SCREAMED
The armadillo leaped off the dresser and disappeared
Cathy jumped OUT of the bed, naked and ran for the door
I followed her, looking for the damn armadillo which was running around the house now, basically chasing her.

It was at this point that both Jim and Mark showed up.

They walked in and found Cathy running around the house naked, the armadillo behind her, me behind IT also naked..

Needless to say, they found this QUITE amusing... Especially Mark. (He had a thing for Cathy anyway and was QUITE happy to see her au-natural)

For roughly the next half hour or so, Me, Jim and Mark chased that damn armadillo around the house until we FINALLY cornered it in the kitchen and threw a towel over it..

Mark and I gathered it up and took it outside to our dock. Keep in mind, I was still naked at this point.. LOL

Mark and I did the old one, two, three and heaved that armored rat as FAR into Tampa Bay as was humanly possible.

There was a VERY satisifying SPLASH at which point I turned to Mark and asked:

Can armadillo's swim?

Neither of us knew the answer but it really didn't matter. The great armadillo invasion was finally OVER..

We walked back into the house, the conquering heroes...

And yes, by that time, Cathy had in fact put a robe on...
