Bank Holiday

Hello People

I'm slightly sleep deprived - only 7 hours whereas I prefer 8 to 9 - but as you know, I have re-embraced the SLA. So here I am.

The reason I'm sleep deprived is that I was at the 50th birthday party for The Banker's wife last night. They are the penultimate FC couple hitting that milestone. The Belgians reach that mark next year.

There was a lively crew at the event last night, which was held at Kingfish in San Mateo. The chow was great, including sliders, chicken skewers and pizza. I was well stuffed but I believe I left enough for everyone else. And one of the featured wines was a Rosenblum Zin, always a fine choice.

We rode with the #1s there and back. The cab company sent an Expedition to pick us up. It had enough room for the easel we brought for the traditional village birthday spoof. We had a town car bring us home. #1 wanted to try his new Uber app. It worked well.

We had a great DJ so the dance floor was always packed. Most of the women were dancing up a storm. I cut a rug briefly but I'm not as light on my feet as I used to be.

I could tell Mrs. Banker had a great time, surrounded by good friends and family, including her 89 year old mother and her daughter that flew in from school in Boston especially for the occasion. The village pitched in with their own version of Family Feud. The uber-prepared #1 had already polled the crowd via SurveyMonkey and also created all the presentation materials. He ran the show with the help of my wife. She was Vanna to his Richard Dawson. I was allegedly the scorekeeper but my main job, which I relished, was to blow the air horn on each incorrect response. The women won, the men thought it was rigged, and I don't care.

Happy B Day Mrs. B
