There was a private party among my group of friends.  Now, sometimes the group plans stuff and I&#8217;m like, &#8220;Eh&#8230; I&#8217;m going to do my own thing, you guys have fun.&#8221;  And then there are other nights when they plan stuff and I&#8217;m thrilled to be there, and wouldn&#8217;t imagine being anywhere else.  This night was in the latter category.  We had great food (thanks Air Traffic Mike) and a storyteller who told a story that nearly brought tears to my eyes.  What a great night.

CSS is a Comcast channel and they have satellite.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">New to Calhoun&#8217;s this week:\u00a0 A digital jukebox.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In the news:\u00a0 Strip club owner Ralph Lunati, who owned Platinum Plus and other clubs, will serve 18 months in prison for promoting prostitution in the form of onstage sex shows.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a federal sentence so there is no possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The lens cap on my digital camera won&#8217;t close.\u00a0 It may be on its last legs, but I&#8217;ve said that before.\u00a0 That camera seems to be indestructible.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">No plans for today&#8230; I&#8217;ll probably go knock off my 3 beers for the day sometime around 4 PM.\u00a0 After that, anything goes.\u00a0 The only definite plan I have this entire 3-day weekend is brunch tomorrow at the Majestic at 11:30.\u00a0 With no work on Monday, it&#8217;s looking to be an extra-long Sunday Fun Day tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Time to publish this thing and get some laundry done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re here to read wild stories about last night at the bars, sorry&#8230;
