Catching up...

Sorry to all my loyal readers for being out of touch for so long. I will attempt to make amends here for missing a couple of weeks.

Trivia night in Jefferson City two Saturdays past was quite the event. Not only did the Paddy's team handily win the contest, but we alienated ourselves from the Catholic Church int the process. Apparently the good Padre at the next table didn't find our raucous behavior suitable for the event. Perhaps it was the hearing aid he was wearing that convinced him that we were doing or saying something unseemly, but it is with all honesty that I say we did nothing offensive. What comments we made that could have offended were made in Gaelic. Being of German heritage I suspect he wouldn't have understood them. I suspect he was just a bit of a curmudgeon.

To those who were there... I offer a the following table cheer... pogue mahone!

To update everyone on the homeowners fracas... there has been Herculean effort with little tangible result. The merry band of recall supporters has yet to achieve its goal despite great effort to collect proxy's for the as yet unscheduled recall vote. In a rather tabloidesque aside, it has been reported that several boxes of paperwork from the office of our clubhouse might have been taken by the soon-to-be-recalled trustee, and a towering blaze was set in said trustees backyard. Keep in mind, that this is second hand information and goes totally without investigation. It would however fit well into the character of the person in question. I suspect that the trustee might have served on Enron's board of directors, or in the Nixon White House before being elected to the current position. Not that I'm bitter about anything...

That's the update... enjoy!

Perhaps you should visit the local hardware store and but a lot of pitchforks with which you take in attendance to the next meeting? This may hurry things along. Or perhaps a simple gift of lighter fluid to the trustee, since she must be running low. : )

If there was an accident and her house burned, would they suspect you? If not, you'd better get on it before they do.

Maybe that is why ND is not posting? He's hatching a fire-proof plan to take over his home owner's association, and it has absorbed all of his time.

I would like the phonetic representative of pogue malone, please. After having considered the Gaelic name Madhbh (also spelled Meadhbh), I know better than to apply an English bias.

You failed to mention that not only did you Catholic Boys p!ss off the good Father, but you also sent the reigning champs of Fulton Trivia Nights past home crying like a pack of 1st graders! Your brother making some failed attempt at confession (maybe his skills have gone a bit stale) at the feet of the good Father couldn't possibly have increased your favor. It was all a shame - but lots of fun!

Where's that place that bad Catholics get stuck? Purgatory? Think they'll have trivia night there? Guinness maybe?
