Good morning crew,

We finally made it to the Bierstube this weekend. Nobody got sick, there were no last minute changes of plan or emergencies or forgotten previous engagements that popped up.

And after all of the build-up and expectations, when we finally got there and found an old, rather rickety-looking building that smelled a little funny on the inside, the wife looked at me somewhat querulously and said, "This is it?"

Maybe she was expecting something that looked more like the Hofbrauhaus in Munich than an old converted barn, and that was probably my fault, but on the other hand the schnitzel was excellent and we got to try some authentic, German-style liver dumpling soup, which is not something you see on the menu at every restaurant.

Laugh it up,

Joe

Arriving home from work at my usual hour of 5 p.m., I dis- covered that it had not been one of my wife's better days. Nothing I said or did seemed to be right.

By 7 p.m. things had not changed, so before a fight started in earnest I suggested I go outside, pretend I had just gotten home, and start all over again. My wife agreed.

I went outside, came back in and, with a big smile, announced, "Honey, I'm home!"

"And just where have you been?" she replied sharply. "It's after seven o'clock!"

"What kind of music do you sing?"

"Aqua-pella."

"Don't you mean 'a cappella', singing without instrumental accompaniment?"

"Nope. I mean 'aqua-pella', singing accompanied only by the water coming out of the shower-head."
