Last week Kelly & I headed to F'ton for a few days.
Night one featured some drinking with Andrew & Tracy.
I was unaware I consumed half my Southern Comfort during the sitting that featured some random card games, television viewing & musings.
I finished the night off in style with a super donair & garlic fingers.
The following day Andrew & I made our way for some golf, followed by a short recess break then downtown + mall adventure.
It was my first golf outing in about 8 years. I was where I expected to be, which was like starting all over.
I think golf will become a more regular hobby for me, as I need some non alcohol related activities. Although I'm sure as with pool, my golf game would be better with some alcohol, especially if it was at a course called "The Blackhorse"
After a visit to the hobby shop & a walk around downtown, we headed to the mall. I didn't buy anything, but this trip would later inspire my book wish list, & amazon purchase of "Modern Drunkard" based on the website.
Other notables I want to purchase are; "The Complete A**hole's Guide to Handling Chicks" "Uncle John's Gigantic Bathroom Reader" "101 Things to Do Before You Die" & a few other website based books like Tucker Max's "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" & the "College Humor Guide to College"
The Fredericton trip was capped off by one of Kelly's trademark supper gatherings, featuring Vettel, Tracy, Snaggle & Kyla.
The food was excellent & I introduced everyone to "Date My Mom" the lamest or best show on tv. Be sure to check it out on youtube.
After that it was off for some poker & excellent truths behind 80's songs.
Last Saturday Kelly & I joined Vanessa & Joey for some BHT/OH action.
It was a pretty laid back evening, eventually we met up with Oliver & JD for some conversation,& along with a few other people during our wandering around.
The night was finished off with some Subway rabbit food & watching Scarface till 4am.
The following day, I awoke not knowing I would later play "Supermarket Sweep" ---- I went to the grocery store at 4:51. I first got a basket & was just going to get some essential items, due to the closing time of 5pm. After a few feet into the store, I was reminded of the phrase, "Sometimes I just go for it" & decided to go for it.
I got a cart, & completed my grocery list by closing time.
Fast Forward: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader & The College Humor Book, have been given to me as a birthday present from Kelly.

Get your coat, we're going out...
Saturday, I grabbed a shower around 9, enjoyed some Ultimate Prince Igor, then made my way down to the BHT to meet up with Oliver, JD, Jimmy & his g/f. I was flying solo for the night as Kelly was working.
First stop as always, was the TD bank. I have strong distaste for the new Green Machines. The 700 language options, flashing green lights around the debit card slot, & slow sticky keys are a real annoyance.
I grabbed my traditional drink at the BHT(rum, ice, dash of cola), made my way over to the table for some conversation & Jimmy Tricks.
After a couple hours of consumption, conversation, & story telling, I made my way outside for a special secret meetup with someone, then some conversation with Rob. M.
Next we made our way to the OH.
It was pretty empty --- that would not last long.
Some initial wandering around took place, before sitting down above the dance floor. JKenny was the first to appear, soon after Jimmy's sister appeared, then some of Kelly's friends, all while JD was away for a drink. By the time he got back, the place had suddenly gone from no one, to a pretty large crowd.
It wasn't the high school reunion type of crowd I enjoy, but was decent. More wandering around, sitting, & conversation took place, along with me being JD's Wingman, taking him to his missions, looping around, taking him back to home base when needed.
The drive home was provided by JKenny, I secured the shot gun position. Not 30 seconds after leaving we were pulled over by the 5-0, with four(4) in the back seat.
Jimmy felt a ticket was coming for sure as he was the odd one out with no seat belt, but after observing JKenny was a DD & there was no open liquor in the car, the reason for the stop was disguised as "no lights on" & we were back on our way.
During the stop the 5-0 made a comment about all the liquor being in our stomach, to which I recall Jimmy making a comment along the lines of , "Until we get home to the toilet."
"If is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, 'if' is F1 spelled backwards."
I watched the F1 race Sunday, it was interesting, & unpredictable to the finish, then returned to sleep for a few hours.
"Shake & Bake."
Monday night Kelly, Vanessa & I, along with a lot of other former MVHS people, attended the theatre for Talladega Nights. There were some funny parts, most were the ones shown in the commercials, probably the best part was about baby jesus, & the bloopers at the end.
Although I've been out of school for several years, I discovered I still group people by the year they graduated, & probably always will --- unless I discover a better system.
The next night it was back to the BHT. The field was myself, Kelly, James H, then joined by Kyla & JKenny, soon after Jermey & Jessie joined. A few drinks & conversation were had, but was a low key event, as can be expected on a Tuesday. Cmac also appeared for a bit.
If anyone wonders what Marv does when its not busy, I discovered the answer Tuesday night.
He enjoys snacks from the vending machine, watches Orange County Choppers, American Hot Rod & some original CBC programing.
After the BHT, Kelly, James & I headed to Tim Hortons for some food. It took 4 attempts before they successfully toasted my sandwich. The final result was rather good though.
