Wow. Joolie and Eric's inagural pool party of the summer was yesterday. Swimming, eating, drinking...does it get better than that on a hot Saturday afternoon? The folks assembled were a good crowd of people, Sydney and Tena took part, Syd's man came along, Black Rain John, Brian the Bartender, Firehouse Josh and his lovely, Mike and Erika even brought along the kid brother. I pretty much was the last to arrive due to my work schedule. Getting up at 6 AM on Saturday morning never gets any easier no matter how frequent I am required to do it. And since I was having a rough week, I decided to just pound, pound, pound beer and neglect to eat for as long as I could. This usually leads to hijinx like me embarassing myself, or saying inappropriate things publically. I'm certain yesterday was no exception, but as usual my plan of drinking to excess has worked it's magic and I can't recall much from the day's events.
I know I swam.
I know I ran my car into Eric's fence outside his house while going on a beer run.
I know I probably made Tena mad at me.
I know I probably made Syd mad at me.
I know I should have slept over at Joolie's house instead of driving home.
But, I also know the following...
My wallet is here.
My camera is here.
My cooler is here, albeit empty.
My shoes are here.
My new prescription sunglasses are here.
My cell phone is here.
So we will call this one a success. My car has some issues from the whole fence hitting episode, but it's more cosmetic than functional. And don't go thinking I'm an idiot. Many, many men and women have had trouble with Eric's driveway. Joolie lost a side mirror, Brian backed into a pole, it's a fucking dead zone for cars. Especially when it's dark and you have had a couple.
The good news is I'm alive. The bad news is that I don't photograph well. Perhaps yellow isn't my color?
