Social Hour

A week ago Wednesday, I was standing in my kitchen putting a frozen fish patty on a baking sheet in preparation to cook it. Then the phone rang. It was my Realtor, and somebody wanted to look at my house in half an hour's time. Since I had a couple of gift cards for Shanahan's, a local independent bar and grill, I decided to change my dinner plans.

When I got to Shanahan's, several friends from Rotary were there, and they asked me if I was there for trivia night. I explained my situation, and was prevailed upon to stay for trivia. I had a blast, and my team, the "Rotary Earmuffs" (no idea where that came from) won!

So, last night I decided to repeat the experience. It was again a fun evening, although we did not win. (The baseball section killed us, even though I, the non-baseball guy, got two right. Lou Gehrig's number was the first retired by the Yankees and Ty Cobb holds the record for stealing home base the most. Alas, the other members of my team disagreed with these answers.)

Looks like I've found a new event for Wednesday!
