Tuesday, December 17, 2013Good morning crew,
We ended up having quite a nice, little party at old Mason's this Saturday last. It was nothing too extravagant. There were just about a dozen of us sitting around snacking and sipping on drinks while waiting for his two-year-old twins to go to bed so we could start the real drinking.
The wife scored big points by bringing the twins actual Christmas gifts (I was going to just buy them a case of beer). She suddenly became so popular that the little girl even let the wife hold her. That is quite an achievement since they both still run from me whenever I look in their direction.
I indulged my usual habit of making everybody uncomfortable by starting controversial conversations, and then we had an excellent meal of shrimp cocktail, honey-roasted ham and home-made broccoli and cheese soup.
Overall a successful evening. In fact, everything seemed to be going swimmingly until at some point in the evening Mason's wife asked me where my wife had disappeared to. A short search revealed her to be asleep on a sofa in a side room by the front door. Apparently she had dressed in her over coat, boots, scarf and hat and then laid down for a little nap until I was ready to go.
So I took that as a hint that it was time to go.
Laugh it up,
Joe

My six-year-old brother picked up the phone and heard a stranger's voice say, "We have a Marcia on the line. Will you accept the charges?"
Frantic, he dropped the receiver and came charging outside screaming, "Dad! They've got Mom! And they want money!"

"Maybe," replied beautician, "does he still drink a lot?"
