I can see myself sitting there the whole evening with a nice glass of wine. Will you join me, Brooke?
.... I could very easily see myself doing that!
Did you say reservation? Do you mean you don't know about our reservation? This, 20 minutes before we opened for dinner. It seems they've been planning this for over a year and are in fact getting married across the street with half the who's who in attendance by the sounds of it. The only problems are:
I suspect the cost of this party will be roughly double what we're charging by the time all is said and done... but cannot imagine denying these people what they were promised a year ago. We'll just have to wait and see. :wink: " scale. Word of mouth and goodwill after effects will carry on well after, I'm sure. Good luck with that.
Indeed Tico. Since then I've taken on a charity benefit of triple that number... but I don't have to pretend to do everyone at once... and it's on a Wednesday. 
Still feeling a little nuts about that one, but that must have been 40 fires ago so it only effects me while looking at the calendar or (A2K). 
Wait a minute... I wonder if that had anything to do with the raucous last night. Sure enough; the same van that I had thought about telling to shut the hell up had one of my Tiki containers under a wheel and when I peered in I could see what appeared to be the rest of them. 
It seems I was victimized by "America's Dumbest Criminals". So, I called the cops who in turn called the perps and about a half an hour later I'm looking at 6 college kids who weren't very proud of their behavior. First super cool cop says you can give those back to him now as I walked up... second says, no, you can take them back to where you got them 
... so when we got there I figured it was my cue to ask if they remembered where they went. Since I couldn't see any actual harm, I told the cops I was no more worried about it than they were, I was a kid once too. He seemed surprised that I didn't want charges but complied despite Wisconsin being a State where the State does the charge pressing. I can't know if I did the kids any favors, really, but I figure I owed at least one to karma, having raised my share of hell (back in the dark ages).
Yawns and considers he'll sleep good tonight sees himself drifting off wondering what's become of his darling Brooklyn. zzzzZZZZzzz
Thinking to myself "Maybe he did feel it and maybe he slept peacefully.
Hey, what about the rehearsal dinner? What happened with that?
(Fascinating reading, keep it up!)
too. The vips have been in several times since then, chosen their wine and menu. I'll let you know how it goes, and probably even snap some pics to share.Aaaawwwwwww. You're a sweetheart, Brooke. He's a lucky man, that O'Bill fellow.
I just edited out a windy post, which is how I post later in the evening.
I'll keep my counsel, as it were. I don't think it is particularly useful to see if you two get along in real life as some kind of a2k monitor.
Let us know one way or the other or inbetween.
In any case, I wish both of you to be happy. (and the rest of us, while I'm at it.)
