War of the Worlds

Today are two big events and neither of them could be rescheduled so we are going to attempt to do both and see where the dice fall. First on the list is the annual party for Mr. Rogue’s work. Every year they throw an event on a massive scale usually with excessive amounts of food and booze that lasts until the wee hours of the night. Today was no different on the first two counts but instead of partying into the wee hours of the night instead we found ourselves at a beach BBQ that was GASP kid friendly. I am assuming that pressure was put on by some people with little miniature people and nagging wives that there be a FAMILY FRIENDLY event for a change. This is why I find myself on a grassy green watching those same miniature people play games and win prizes as I try to guzzle as much adult kool-aide as I can get. Did I also tell you that it was HOT, not just HOT but boil your skin off if you are in the sun longer than a moment HOT! And that the food which is normally excellent was sub par I don’t even think that the kids were eating, and seriously those little monsters eat anything!

After enduring 3 hours we got to use our pre-planned excuse and I found I was HAPPY that we had another engagement that we could not get out of because we had tickets to take Mr. & Mrs. O.C. to the LA Phil Harmonic at the Disney hall and then dinner at Roy’s after.

Our evening was filled with all the glamour and class that I love in. We went from beer, sweat and bad food in the backyard to culture, style, and elegance in the evening. At least we ended the evening with something magical.
