About Level

Erika is a swell photographer. The people are centered, the beers are held even, Holli, CC, and Molly are all smiling without anyone looking away or closing their eyes. I have one huge problem though, they are standing in front of the food table. I had to be away from it while they posed. I could have starved and died.

Max And Min

Erika let me borrow some pictures from her party. This is Angie (the other hostess of the party and the tallest one there) with Muggs (the infamous basketball coach and the shortest person at the party). Some would argue that Muggs needs to be a little bit shorter to be at the perfect height.

Band Bonding

While Jill and I were juiced up on various and overloading amounts of caffeine we worked on some dance moves for a cover song (btw, I've been humming that damn song ever since we played it four times in a row) that we want to do....Malia took the opportunity to practice her magazine cover shot. Hello Malia, we will certainly need to cut a video before we get any press! Don't make me cover you up with hot sweaty barely dressed back up dancers!!! Wait, that's no punishment. Now, put this in your head for the next hour "well your nobody called today, she hung up when i asked her name, now i wonder, does she think she's being clever"

No Camp Fire

After "the band" finished up a brilliant set of magnificently composed rock tunes, Catherine grabbed the guitar and brought the house down for a group sing or everyone singing back up to Nicole on the mic. I assume that Malia is directing the crowd at this point. I snapped this and then ran away.

Da, Duh, Da, Da, Duh, Da, Da, Da, Da, Duh, Duh, Duh

We celebrated Jeri getting her landmark 100th degree in something that she still can not use. She showed off her back up talent of street charicature artist by making a lovely photo of the party hostess for her kitchen in mere seconds. Just like her hero MacGyver (season 1 of the hit ABC series now out on DVD), the only supplies she requested were a marker and a paper towel. In her hand you will find a nourishing vitamin supplement for her brain. Her plans for the future are flying to Utah to play poker with the mormons. Is it the glasses or the robe that make her smart?

Not A Cab Van

If you look at Catherine's shoulder, you can just make out a bit of Malia's hat. Jill's reservation power did not hold up at the restaurant and the group had to sit at three different tables no where near each other. We chose to make up for it in the cab. The white bag of Mari's can now be found in Jill's frig. It's good stuff, eat up!

Croutons Anyone?

Susan was my little patient after she had some dental work done. As you can see, she was very happy with my service. She is trying to give me two thumbs up, but she needs them to hold the bags of ice on her face, so she substituted some other fingers. She was very happy that I was documenting everything instead of getting her things like a glass of water.

44

My oldest sister Diane was the one that picked the restaurant, so Susan and I did not feel guilty about making her get on the saddle while everyone sang to her. She told me that pay backs are a bitch, but doesn't she realize that I am paying her back little by little for my childhood? Except now it's way funnier because I can do things like put it on the internet and email it to all of the family (in-laws included) and all of her friends and I went to school with the guy who runs the paper in our hometown area. It's just a saddle, but it means so much more from an insider perspective. I will continue until I hear apologies! Yes Susan, I am done with you.

Check

Mark and I have been working on a must do list for almost 3 years now. We can now cross the Harlem Globetrotters off. We added his daughter Heather, my girl Mari and Stefan the German who wants to see everything before he goes back to the evening out. Please take note of the short scruffy white guy that was the norm of the opposing team the "Nationals".

Sheep For Dogs

Rocky got a new coat. I never walk Rocky because he spins in circles all of the time. You have to be able to turn the leash opposite of his spin to avoid tangles. I walk Mandy. Rocky usually crosses our path too and besides the twisting of the leash, there is the raising it over my head or stepping over mine constantly. I would love to be an outsider watching this.

No Guinness For Me

Some kids from Ireland came to fight the kids in Chicago, so Mari, me and a large percentage of men with a bald spot sat and watched. Some of the kids were totally ripped, but I liked watching the kids that recently had a growth spurt and were not coordinated. They fight like I do, wiggling around with arms flapping in the air.
