Tonight was the annual dads shopping night .. Its a tradition I've been part of for more than 20 years. Once a year all of us meet at a bar, eat, drink then pretend to go out shopping for our families. Every year we end up looking at our watches and realizing its either too late, too cold, too rainy, too something to actually go out and shop.. So we stay in the bar.l this time, we actually dropped the pretense of shopping and just stayed and talked. . We met at the Public House in Hinesburg, the site of the old cheese factory,. I remember how that place used to smell when i lived in Hinesburg more than 30 years ago

Tomight there were 12 of us.. 10 from the core group that have been meeting together at least once a year since the early 90's. we caught up on our lives and our family lives.. We cracked old jokes and drank wierd beer. Soem of these guys i see all the time..some i see about once a year. It felt very good to reconnect with all of them

Nite all, nite sam
