Saturday night was “Yankee’s’” (Can’t use names) birthday. He told us that he wanted have a BBQ and then watch Pen and Teller’s Bullshit on a projector. With all of us having different responsibilities after work most of us keep to ourselves and don’t have large BBQ parties everyday. A lot of people were not going to go because….. lets say the guys is real lonely and can bug the hell out of you. I realized that on most days this guy was struggling to keep it together. I made the effort to tell everyone that I was going and they should stop by, they would want the same on their birthday.
On Saturday we had about ¾ of the company come by and say hi, mainly because it was next to the bathroom/shower. Regardless Yankee had a good time. We carried over a picnic table, and fired up the grill. Yankee and “Fixitall” bought a case of N/A beer, some sodas, burger, and dogs. My first experience with the N/A beer was when I got a warm one, and then had no desire to ever try it again.
The beer was Ice cold. Between the music outside, (IPod and little speakers), the smell of a BBQ grill, and good conversations all convinced me to try another N/A beer. It was a becks and it was icy. After I had three I realized that the buzz was not what I was missing. It was the social aspect of good friends and conversations. Had a blast.
To finish off the night we set up a projector on one of the walls. It really looked great after we ask the neighbors to turn out their porch light. For some reason Pen and Teller’s Bullshit did not play, but “Theroommate” had Ron whites: you can’t fix stupid. We laughed and enjoyed the beautiful night as if we were sitting in one of our own backyards. It is Important to enjoy the little things.
I hope everyone at home is living life to the fullest
God Bless
