Actually not. * We had a nice dinner party on the boat for 6 of our

Guard station.. *We enjoyed a number of good wines and a variety of

Sounds like you have a wonderful evening, Wayne. The wife and I were
planning a simple evening at home but I ended getting a proverbial
last minute call to sub for a bass player in a local CW band who due
to some type of confusion over the date, couldn't' make it. I know
the band and these guys are easy to get along with. We got a generous
tip to play a couple more after shut down, pack and go home. We got
home at about 3:30 jsut in time for a hot shower and a snore.

The wife had a better time than she thought she would. Then again, I
got to play, and she got the pay.

it all worked out good.

anyhow it all went well, and we got a pretty good tip
