A Good Time Was Had By All
A bunch of phriends showed up Saturday night at Crime Dog's Margaritaville West Tiki Bar and Cement Pond for rum and cooked animals and bullshit by the ton. These were the pholks who've been working hard together for a couple months now to put together functions and committees for the AZPHC. I figured it was about time to pull us all together when we weren't actually working and organizing, and we could just relax and enjoy some down time. It turned out great.
I did take quite a bit of heat over my domestic grill abuse, but what can I say? It was well-deserved and good-natured. The paradaisical cheeseburgers were just that, and Steve-o showed up with some gumbo that knocked the socks off everyone in the joint. Only thing we didn't have was piece of French bread with which to wipe our bowls. TFMCD and I held a little back from the leftovers Steve-o took home, and agreed to split it. I don't know, though.......I am working from home today, and I'll need something to eat for lunch.
The party broke up around 11:00. We middle-aged partiers don't hang quite as long as we once did, I can tell you. Yesterday, TFMC and I just hung out around the pool, catching rays and relaxing. I'd sit in the sun for a while, then move to shade, back and forth. Several times, I checked the mirror or asked TFMCD if I lookled red, just to be safe. Never did, really, maybe just a bit pinkish. So last night, I pulled off my shirt to get ready for bed and I looked like I spent an hour in the microwave. Gotta be more careful, that sneaky sun creeps right up on you. Mellow is cool. Mellow-noma is not.
