Party in Danbury

I spent the last weekend at Rich's house in CT, which I will spell that way to avoid learning how to actually spell it. It was an obvious rocking time. Rich's family cracks me up, especially because they rag on each other constantly. Rich is one of the top 3 funniest people I know (yes, I rank everyone I know by how funny they are--ask me I'll tell you), and knows exactly how to turn a phrase or even vocalize an oft repeated joke. It amazes me that someone who is functionally illiterate can be so funny. I'm kidding, but for an ESL kid, it ain't bad. Of course, the festivities ran late into the evening as I spiraled deeper into my own personal hell of shame, mendacity, and violent outbursts. Or so I was told. I remember having a great time until I voted to impeach President Nixon, when someone whispered in my ear that not being a member of Congress I don't have that authority, and moreover that Richard Nixon had not been President for over 30 years.

Thanks for a great time, Rich.
