Good Times: Age catches us all

Well, last night was an interesting and great night. The Goof Troop came over for a combo birthday/going away party. But this morning as I reflected on last night, my mind wandered to all of the things we have all done in our youth and the lessons we have learned along the way.

But first, a quick recap of last night. We celebrate the Twins birthday, I’ll just say they turned somewhere in their mid 30’s. I don’t want to give it away but you could try counting the candles, but I doubt you could count that blazing inferno.

Then our friends Stickbug and Alley/Kielbasa Charlie (we haven’t settled in on a good nick name for Charlie yet, but we’re close) are moving to Camillus, so we won’t see them as much.

So once everyone was full of snacks, (L Bird loves to entertain) we went on with the usual games. 3 man, Up and Down the River, Asshole, etc.

A few drinks later the Captain is trying to lick my head. Yeah, he’s kind of an odd fellow.

A few more drinks and that led to the “nose off”

Then finally it was last call for the Goof Troop around 1 AM.

I’m really not passed out, I was told my “big fat head was blocking stickbug”, so I laid down on the table and of course the picture was taken so I look like I’m passed out drunk.

So that was the quick version of last night. There were numerous stories told and laughs had. Then this morning came and what a morning it was, L Bird was sleeping in the couch because she a little too much wine and she needed to be close to the bathroom. I was fine, so I got up and got A Bird going with some breakfast and playing around the house.

Once she was set I jumped into the shower and that’s really when it hit me. I’m getting old, I didn’t drink that much last night but I had a headache and my bones were creaking. I remember drinking all night and just jumping right up the next morning to go play golf and starting to drink again on the first hole. Last night the The Goof Troop left at 1 AM, I remember being younger and seeing the Goof Troop out the door as the sun was coming up and blinding me. I remember going out all night in G Town and drinking to 2 AM, then hitting a house party until 4-5 AM, last night the good majority of us were already yawning at 10:30 PM.

Yep, time and age catches up with us all, but its nice to fight it as long as we are breathing.
