Penguins, Pot & Other Stuff

Fantasy football playoffs are just around the corner.  Christmas is not very far away.  Poker games to organize.  Staff luncheons to attend.  Where oh where am I going to get the time?

 

Seriously, the holiday season is one of my favorites but it can sure put a drain on the reserves.  Still, I wouldn’t change it.  On this Friday the old VRS crew & Associates are getting together for lunch.  Taking place at The Wild Orchid-my rabbit dinner restaurant.  Will be nice to see so many familiar faces there.  Except for Dickhead of course!

 

Then, if all goes well, poker on December 7.  Cousin Jan, will you be there?  And how could I forget, this Saturday I am taking Trish to the Pittsburg/Toronto hockey game so she can drool over Sidney Crosby.  It’s a birthday present for my favorite lesbian; I won’t tell you how old but she reached that annual event on November 21!  Happy Birthday Sweetie Pie!

 

So there you go, if the snow can only stay away then everything will go so much better.  Here’s hoping!

An old friend, good old Eric, popped in with another friend Lorne for a visit.  You all remember Lorne from one of my earlier posts.  Well, I’ve known Eric even longer than Lorne-we go back to the age of 6 and our Blessed Sacrament gradeschool days.  Eric is another one of my camping buddies and a lot of our recent get-together was remembering some of our favorite camping stories.

 

Eric is still a very interesting person.  Great storyteller and very familiar with old Norse writings.  As a matter of fact, he was the one who introduced me to The Lord of the Rings!  Lives in Toronto now and is a self-taught computer Man for the school board there.

 

Nice to see you again Eric!  I’ve put a picture up from our little bull session.  Sitting between Eric & Lorne made me wonder if I would feel the same sitting between Yul Brenner & Telle Savalas.  All I know is that if Eric & Lorne ever put their heads together, they would make a perfect ass of themselves!
