fun times
This is like the 897th day it has rained.
I am so through with this rain. There was finally a lull in the action last night so I decided to mow my corn field of a lawn but wouldn't you know it, for the first time ever, I couldn't get the lawnmower started. Then it started raining again and all hope was lost. I've depreciated the neighborhood for another day.
Is this what it's like to live in Seattle?
What shall we talk about today? Coming up with a weekly topic is just as difficult as I thought it would be.
I thought we'd talk about fun.
What was the funnest (is that a word?) day of your life? Not the most special day (like your wedding or child's birth) but just a day where you had a blast from beginning to end.
My funnest day occurred over 20 years ago. One of my dearest friends and I took the day off from work and went to Mystic Seaport. Some of you may be familiar with Mystic, Connecticut from the movie Mystic Pizza.
From the moment I stepped into the car with my friend until the moment I stepped out of it, about 16 hours later, we laughed uncontrollably.
I always think about how we went to lunch at a very fancy smancy restaurant and my friend handed the maitre'd her old torn jean jacket and said, 'Um..please be careful with that'. Just silly stuff like that had us going all day.
Since I really can't explain what was so fun about the day, you just had to have experienced it, I'm going tell about the funnest 3 hours I've ever had.
This one happened over 20 years ago too. I went reluctantly to Brotherhood Winery in upstate New York with a friend, his brother and his brother's wife. It was perhaps a 2 hour drive and the whole concept just seemed so boring to me. But I was a trooper and I agreed to go.
This was way back in the days of disco. When we arrived, they asked us if we wanted to go to the Disco room or to a room with 1940s type band music playing. I like the old disco tunes now but at the time, I hated them. It was rock only for me but considering our options, we went for the disco.
Well, it started our soooo boring. Everyone was just standing around. We started sipping the wine, still bored our of our gords. As time went on, and we tasted more and more wine, things started to pick up, to say the least.
By the end of the three hours, we knew no boundaries. We were dancing with everyone and anyone. The whole place was screaming and jumping. We were out of our minds. That was truly the funnest 3 hours of my entire life. I never went back but I know if I did, I could probably never enjoy myself so much.
