Last call for folks coming to the shindig on Sunday, everybody’s welcome, but you need to either comment below or send me an email to get directions to the place. Its super secret so the paparazzi can’t find us. Because you know they want pictures of this…
Also, heres some stuff you need to know.
There will be all sorts of kids there, and we’ll have some teenagers around to keep a leash on em. Be cool, and drop the girls a few bucks if you’re going to be checking your hellion with them. I’m checking both of mine, so I’ll be out also.
This place isn’t a mansion, so we’ll be primarily outside, which works for me, because its freakin beautiful. Seriously, if it stayed this way all year, I’d grow a big grizzly beard and live off the land, eating berries, sleeping under bushes, and eschewing clothing. But then everybody’d just think I was bigfoot.
Anyway, point is, if you have allergies or agoraphobia, best take your meds. Particularly if the label says “do not take with alcohol”, because then you might have more fun.
On that token, I’m going to enjoy no less than 2 beers, and no more than 4. I love to share, but I’m not buying beer for everybody, so we’ve got a byob kinda thing happening.
We’re buying the burgers and whatnot, and Daco’s hooking you up with whats proported to be superior hot dogs, but it’d be super cool if you could bring a side or something when you show up.
We’re going to have some baked beans show up, and a couplea desserts. I’m gonna make some rocking onion rings with the rockin burgers, so whatever else is up to you folk.

While deciding what to take yesterday, I realized that all my potluck dessert recipes involve cool whip. Sorry. I blame the south.

heh.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a potluck that didn’t have something Cool-whippy.

[…] Cathy and I have no social life now-a-days. Blame it on managing 5 children’s schedules, lack of money, or my constant working if you will but basically we have not created much opportunity for adult conversation. Yesterday we broke our mold and went to Atomic Tumor’s party and had an absolutely wonderful time! The crowd was very comfortable, the food excellent, the conversation fun, the children played hard and were happy among new friends, the very pleasant teenagers eagerly watched the younger children, and there was much laughter. There was at least one "small world" event (I met you in 2000!) and it resulted in some throwing of fire. Cathy has links to the exhausted children and others. The only noted damage appears to be the two youngest children ended up with fevers. Build those immune systems! Thank again to Atomic Tumor et al! […]

[…] Six years ago Cathy and I walked through West Town Mall. We had a wonderful store called The World of Knowledge. Outside an employee was playing with devil sticks. I borrowed them, showed off, and gave some advice. Apparently she remembered, because six years later we met again at Atomic Tumor’s party and she pointed saying, "ow ow ow! I know you!". It was a good moment. Now she is in the hospital and holding onto life by a thread. nurses are telling me that her vitals can’t support life for long, that I told my 9 year old son as lightly as I could that his mother might die, that, despite HOW HARD I TRY NOT TO I can’t help figureing out how I’d word her obiturary on this stupid web page because I might just need to, I start to break down.
