A Superbowl party
The NFL player invited me over to his pad for a Super Bowl party.
Me: Can I bring two dates? One you’ve met – he’s in grammar school and likes to sing – the other is a young blonde I’ve been seeing lately. Not sure if she’s free but I’ll ask?
Him: Sure – I hope she is smoking!
Me: Well, I certainly think so.
Like I said, it’s nice to be social and have company. Honestly, it’s nice having someone to (finally) invite to come with me to alla these things I get invited to all the time – and I literally get 2-4 invites to something every week, despite being so clumsy.
Still, it’s been years since I’ve been able to just add someone to a guest list so it does take a little getting used to.
She was great though, although my son was slightly confused…
Him: Wait, [the Firecracker]’s coming?
Me: Yep.
Him: (shrugs) OK.
…but not terribly so.
He really does roll with the punches very well, I gotta say.
Since everyone lived local, we got there a bit early and had the gorgeous food spread all to ourselves.
Me: Should we wait until the other guests arrive?
Housekeeper: No – eat, eat.
Me: (sitting down) No need to tell me twice, lady.
The Firecracker had never been in this building, although she’d seen it and walked by it a few times.
Me: I think Bono and Steve Martin also live here.
Her: No kidding!
Me: Maybe we’ll run into one of them?
Everyone was just great, and the night was a lotta fun – although the kid was mainly just interested in the food and his tablet.
Him: Can I have dessert?
Me: ONE thing.
Him: Yay! I want the football cookie.
The Firecracker had to leave early because she had another event to go to, and then the kid and I had to leave because he had school the next day.
Me: Did you have a good time?
Him: Yes. I like [the Firecracker and the NFL Player].
Me: Good. Maybe we’ll keep them around for a bit.
Location: this morning, a cherry red Tesla on Broadway just off 72nd Street
Mood: surprised
Music: Trouble and worry, I’m gonna leave behind. I’m coming back – Lord, it’s been a while (Spotify)
