Tonight’s recipe for success…Laughs, puppets, and a hot toddy.
We have a dodgeball team at work that’s been playing together for a few seasons. Good times. Last night was this season’s playoffs (we came in second place). Here are some lessons learned from last night and other evenings past:
“I really like her,” he said followed by a swift bite into his first curry puff. There were only two.
“And you should. She’s really great. Don’t fuck it up.”
He nodded his head in agreement and finished his first puff.
“I’ll try not to.”
I sipped a spoonful of soup. Tom Yum. The right amount of sour, I stirred around looking for a piece of chicken.
He took a bite of his second puff. And then, a revelation.
“I have a crush on the girl that I’m dating.”
We both stopped eating, for only a second, and smiled.
“Yeah…”
He finished his second puff. I enjoyed my soup. There was more chicken in the bowl than I thought there would be.
We devoured our entrees shortly after they were placed on our table. Still hungry we ordered a post main course appetizer. Spring rolls, two apiece. We should have ordered more.
The Zombies - This Old Heart of Mine (Isley Brothers cover)
I had the giant, hardcover book adaptation of this movie when I was a kid. It was actually my brother’s but I used to carry it with me everywhere around the house and read it over and over and over again. I tried so hard to protect the book jacket, but eventually a piece of the back tore off. I felt pretty bad about that. Oh well, I think my brother still has the book. It’s a classic, and so is the movie.
Great opening titles too.
