Awake: 6:25am Temp 62 sleep 6+33 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
Early afternoon, Kathy motored to Barnesboro for a few groceries, a library visit & thrift store perusing + filling our gas container for the lawn mower.
During her absence, I called my brother & we discussed why he didn't show up with his other pals for last night's meeting in Nicktown; "Simple answer" he tells me, "because it's tonight!" Oooo....ouch! My apologize goes out to the distinguished mystery man who came miles for the occasion of this occasion. But...as I mentioned before, I thoroughly enjoyed having the time for a one-on-one rendezvous with the mystery man. Now I'm hoping he will join our group tonight for the bona fide gathering of: Tom, Dick & Harry & a few others.
Dinner: leftover white chili, leftover meat loaf, veggies & a fruit salad.
Tonight, I left Kathy alone again @ 9:00 pm, walked to the St. Nicholas Hotel & joined in the gab session of: Tom, Dick, Harry, etc, plus the mystery man. Of course I am razzed a little from the guys for last night's somewhat dry run but that's ok. Usually I only see a few of these out of town guys twice a year; Memorial Day & Labor Day, so the mini reunions are top priority for keeping in touch.
Due to the unpopular downturn of the economy, the main topic of conversation was by far and large, politics. Ole girl friends, hobby talk & family adventures, etc, just never surfaced; funny how that works. Maybe we should all have assembled on Friday after all to rid ourselves of that dirty, filthy, government gossip.
My brother Don (I call him Harry...cause usually he needs a haircut), figured out the total bill for the delicious pizza, a few beers & some wine; it was most reasonable. We should do this stuff & more often.
Kathy was sawing logs when I returned to the home-on-wheels, so no movie tonight.
Lights out: 12:01am
