Today is a big day for me

I have managed to not upset the apple cart and stay married for 25 years. To the same woman.
She must be working on sainthood, or something similar, to have put up with me.
We will head off to the Oktoberfest this PM in our regalia for the evening. We haven't worn it since pre-covid and hope everything fits...

It is too bas that the weather is bad. We just have to make the big decision about which tent in which to celebrate.

Maybe 1986 Army west Germany I walk into latrine middle of the night and laying on floor is a friend passed out from to much beer. It wasn’t Oktoberfest just to much weizen beer with Long Island ice tea chasers he told me later after he came to.

For the best wishes we received.
We did survive the evening. Had a great time, and now to wait for the plague results.
