The Wrap-Up

In a small city you almost always hear that there isn’t much to do… On the contrary, I have never ever been busier these last few weeks. For example – take this lovely weekend – which officially started for my Modern Uncle Entourage on Thursday night. It started fairly usual – drinks with my flying ace wingman who accompanies me on these adventures – at De La Vegas; the standard place for hip/young professionals, over-priced drinks and average looking gold diggers. It always begins the same – 3 or 4 tasty Brown Ale’s and we’re already restless, decisions come faster/smoother now – time to hit BWW for a scenery check and $4 beers.

BWW, the scenery is good, better than expected – as a Modern Uncle you have no choice – you sit exactly across from the table full of drunk and loud college women. Check your six – yes – the table behind you is also full of drunk and sexy college women. Placing yourself in these exact situations is critical. So the conversations are flowing now – the decisions come ever quicker as do the Shock Top 24 oz. beverages. As a Modern Uncle you MUST ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings and the situations in your environment. The table of drunken college women isn’t what you think… It’s like walking into a knitting class – get the F*CK out before it’s too late. As we quickly gather our resources, smoothly, we ask our beautiful waitress where she would go tonight…. Dublin’s seems to be the next stop…

Is it really this easy for The Modern Uncle? Get use to it friends. It’s like throwing a baited lure into a stocked trout pond the size of your bath tub… I will explain when I’ve had more than 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep… Christ – racing on steep mountain winding roads, Chile Festival, Wine Festival, Football… F*CK – what day is it today? Honestly, I only know today is Tuesday because I have my Microsoft Outlook Calendar blinking/beeping in my face telling me I have a 1600 meeting on a new experimental rocket motor program… Awesome – this should spark my second wind for the day, which I will surely need for band practice tonight.

Stay frosty.
