Gone, Bingo, Gone or How Sweet It Is

The "Blizzard of 2010" is now old news and everyone in MicroWorld is a lot more interested in  "Wheel of Fortune". There was also a heated debate after supper in regards to the Thursday afternoon Bingo game.  A nasty rumor was afloat that this sacred activity had been canceled because of the "Holiday".  "Both of you are correct, I sweetly conjoled, Thursday Bingo will take place as usual, but the Saturday night session will be canceled because it's New Year's Day."  The comments hit the proverbial fan after that utterance.  Why absolutely nothing was going on around here on New Year's Day....our Holiday Open House was being held Sunday afternoon, and Saturday night Bingo is held at NIGHT!!!! How could it possibly be canceled!!! "I don't know, I hopelessly shrugged, it just is; I'm so sorry, I know how much you enjoy it."   Hee, Hee, Hee.....if they only knew it was I who pulled the plug on this weekly ritual of boredom and occasional mayhem.  Did I say Mayhem??  When someone is accused of taking more candy from the prize basket than he or she is entitled to, there is usually a loud outcry of protest.  I'm describing the scene politely, but it sometimes gets ugly....but that's for another blog.  Right now I'm gloating over the fact that I'm off the hook for Bingo and in Jackie Gleason's immortal words, "How sweet it is!" A Saturday night in the recliner, feet up, video in, and a glass of wine in hand.  Sometimes a plan comes together and those are moments to truly savor.  WHAT?!!! You think I'm a bore?  Well, you haven't seen the video or met the guests who will be visiting Saturday night......but's that's for another blog....how sweet it is....like sugar, baby
