| One Very Unhappy Cat |
Yesterday was a great
day. I spent most of the day babysitting
Buddy in the basement man cave while my wife helped our hostess get ready for
the Latin Mafia party. Luckily there was
a Walking Dead marathon as well as some very entertaining college football games
on. The house cat was still extremely unimpressed
with Buddy’s presence.
I got some great news
yesterday when the brother of a long lost friend responded to an email I sent
six months ago. I was trying to
re-establish contact with his brother who was the best man at my wedding and
whom I had lost contact with for nearly twenty years. It turns out the missing friend is living in
the Far East.
I’ve sent an email to him and hope to hear from him soon, he was a great
friend.
The party turned out to be a
lot of fun as my wife’s friend, taking a page out of my wife’s playbook, had
located virtually every Latino in northern Maine and invited them to this party. There was a very entertaining mix of cultures
with representatives from Mexico, Dom Rep, Venezuela, El Salvador, Peru,
Brazil, and of course Panama. That being
the case there was of course dancing involved with my wife predictably taking
the lead there. The biggest hit of the
night was Dancing Queen which had every female at the party out there bobbing,
even the Maine
gals.
Our hostess is a legendary
maker of cakes and she made a huge one for the party that involved a bunch of
fruit which of course made it off limits for me. In a very kind gesture she made a special small
chocolate cake for me. I retreated to
the man cave and had my power dessert of beer and cake – heaven. Buddy offered to help but I declined. By the end of the night I was completely
exhausted and once again totally impressed with the Latino ability to
party. Now the long ride home – at least
we’ll get to see my favorite son enroute.
