trystinnWe've been celebrating Passover Week by taking turns hosting dinner or dinner out. Last night at Tiger's, Renne & Jim decided that we needed to start learning card games for our cruise. We then proceeded to stay up until midnight learning Pinochle. Game was hampered on several levels, among which there was only three of us. Jim, who knows the game well, ended up playing two hands (his own plus the widow's), the 4th player represented by a black candle. Hence a volley of gags that ensued: "Candle is a jackass", "damnit, Candle won the trick again", "Candle, damnit, we can't possibly get enough hit cards to score that bid!" We just might have to take candle on the cruise.
Part of the hilarity is that this candle is bizarre. Its a carved black candle with sparklies on it. It was a gift and Tiger has yet to light it, so its been on the dining room table for awhile. I personally call it the Pimp Candle. Maybe you had to be there.
I overslept dreadfully today and I still need to go into town and buy the necessary equipage for tomorrow - fencing, staples and groceries. It'll have to wait until Wolfie comes by, she's painting the trim on the exterior of the house and I need to get her setup before I can head out.
