Report from the Front
umm… hi, it’s me, ballgown boy, flashing my gams here in Wilkes Barre. Wouldn’t you know it I have 10 minutes of spare time while the family goes into the pool for a post-prandial water volleyball game, and I’m gonna blog while I gots the chance.
We’re enjoying frozen drinks, which are basically adult versions of slurpees. But they really don’t hold a candle to the original child’s version of the pina colada - a slurpee with a few shots of rum or bourbon poured in (rum for cherry, bourbon for cola). This version of the slurpee is now known as the “sloppy.”
We are in a part of this vast and beautiful country known as the Wyoming Valley. Here’s a regional update, delivered by four women coming back from the craft supplies excursion: The Wyoming Valley is a fro-free zone. Those of you with fro sensitivity may want to notate this for your future vacation plans.
The big party is tomorrow. Wish me luck. Are there any other places you’d like amy to place me? I am nothing if not accomodating.
