Just got an invitation from an old college friend, you know the kind I mean, the ones you get together with once a month & share outrageous stories & drink cheap red wine, & you are free & easy with them because you've all acted like an ass at some point, and now it's just silliness, and you all feel giddy and giggly and sleepy and look at the clock and it's one in the morning, and tomorrow is Monday...
because time flies when you're having fun.

As I said, I just got an invitation for dinner. Seems they've been jet-setting, first to Colorado to see his folks, then to Delaware to visit her bio-dad. In the invitation, she states, "While in Delaware, family members taught us how to play gin rummy. It is my new favorite thing. Maybe you two want to come over on Sunday and play gin rummy. We will make something yummy to eat. We've quit our drunken ways, so no need to worry about a hang-over on Monday."

Whoa, the world just left its axis... play gin rummy, quit drinking? What? What happened in Delaware, that's what I want to know-- did their minds suffer some strange metamorphosis during their stay on the East Coast?

They are going to get teased on Sunday for this drastic life change! Hee hee!

post script:
After a million questions, she responded that it's nice having a longer attention span and not being tipsy most mornings, and they're saving mucho money by not going to bars every night. I guess I didn't realize they went to bars every night... in that case, more power to them.
They're still going to get teased.
