Oh good, I'd hoped there be an opening for this story ....


The night before the wedding, I was out with some friends at a pub in San Pedro called The Whale and Ale. It wasn't enough that there was the wedding the next day, or that I'd just received a cell call from zapppop telling me his sibling had just gotten married hours earlier, but this entire pub was taken over by a drunken wedding party after their rehearsal dinner for nuptuals the very next day.

At one point, they were obnoxiously belting out the non-words to many brass-filled songs, among them "Sweet Caroline." It was truly awful. Drunken boars with no decent voices in the lot. We were laughing at them, and then at ourselves for all the times we remembered ... when we were young and roudier and would have done the same.

So the next night, at the wedding, when I was pretty drunk myself, the opportunity to belt out the non-words to "Sweet Caroline" was such a personal hoot for me ... and I was laughing so hard, I could barely scream the "Bah-Bah-Bah"s in the most drunken off-key voice I could manage!


Hahahahahahaha! That was a great episode ... and I don't think there was a moment during the evening that I wasn't having classic time o'life!



(by the way ... were we at high altitude or something? 'Cause I was way more plastered on two glasses of wine than I would usually get ... at either sea level or normal happiness level)
