July 17: "Snowy Nights" Candle Set

Given to Tim from Gail.

"Snowy Nights" is also the name of a Canadian
romance novel series

Last weekend was my weekend to run into bachelorette and bachelor parties. I mentioned kissing a young woman's forearm on a scavenger hunt on Friday and I saw two bachelor parties at a rooftop Chicago Cubs game on Saturday. One of the groups was from Iowa and I don't think I met anyone from Iowa before, so I hope I covered my gawking well by making polite small talk as we enjoyed a tasty draft beer. But asking him about corn (but not his corns, which he indicated he had) took a permanent spot on the conversation on-deck circle.

I also had the privilege of sitting next to the ringleader of a bachelorette party, who was hosting seven women and her sister, on Saturday night. Prepared, but never asked, to offer my pole dancing services to the lucky eight, this suburban elementary teacher and I kibitzed about all things with her young pupils, including one who wanted to grow up to be a pot holder maker. I think that's spot on right. I've often fantasized about running a zoo tram or being a professional door opener. I'm great as a wedding usher, too. But pole dancer? I honestly don't think I've got the butt for it.
