Not surprisingly, after our night out on the town, Can’t Be Bothered and I didn’t make it to the ski resort until about 1 PM. Fortunately, all we had to do to get there was roll out of bed and into the skis and boots that Iced Tea had so kindly fitted and left out for us.
Unfortunately, the boots didn’t fit, so Can’t Be Bothered and I scoured his closet of skis for something I could use that weren’t intended for racing – something special I like to reserve for skiing with Sleepless. Once we found what I needed, we headed to the resort.
Being that Can’t Be Bothered was on vacation, I let her select the runs. Being that it had been at least twenty years since I’ve skied, this may not have been my best idea. Several face plants and bruises later, we ended our day on the slopes and met up with Friend of Bjorn, Just History, Coopga and Almost.
Just History keeps himself busy producing reality television shows, so, Friend of Bjorn, Can’t Be Bothered and I kept busy by providing him show ideas throughout dinner; primarily, shows ending in ‘Swap.’ Friend of Bjorn is in investments and a fan of SL,UT Cuts, “My mom’s hairdresser, Bjorn, used to come over, have drinks and do her hair. He had a friend…..” If Coopga mentioned what he did for work, it escaped me after he said, “I don’t live with my mom, my mom lives with me.” Almost is studying to be a forensic psychologist and loves talkies, “When did we stop saying ‘talkies’? I love talkies, I grew up on them.”
Almost’s age would dispute that last statement, however, the fact that he kept falling asleep during dinner might confirm it. Coopga played upon Almost’s excessive daytime sleepiness and began singing great 80s songs, which Almost would finish every time – eyes closed.
We decided it was time to end the evening and piled into Dirk. Almost and I were in the front, Can’t Be Bothered, Friend of Bjorn, Just History and 28 were in the back, and my Wilson Phillips CD was in the CD player. We all belted out “Hold On,” as we drove them to their temporary home. As we pulled in the driveway, “Release Me” started playing – fitting. To answer Just History’s question, “Who can name more than two Wilson Phillips’ songs?” God Only Knows….wait, that was their dad’s song. Or was their dad’s song theirs?
