We Missed The Boat (or Vice Versa)

My best friend Paul and I decided to spend the day on the Casino Ship that sails out of Lynn Harbor. In typical Paul & Scotty bad luck fashion, the ship's trip was cancelled today only after I took a vacation day to go on it. We drove to Lynn and boarded along with everyone else, waiting to get out to sea so the gambling could start, and before we could even eat anything from the buffet, the captain announced "generator problems" and we were asked to de-board. I knew "generator problems" meant "terrorist threat". Okay maybe I'm paranoiod. We didn't waste the day though. We hopped in the car and headed to Connecticut! We just can't wait to spend our hard earned money. What followed was a Seinfeld episode (as usual when we get together, complete with missed exits on the highway, handicapped lunch lines and dice flying off the tables. I broke even which is a win in my book. Paul may have even come out ahead. Of course he got the benefit of listening to me talk for 2 hours on the way down and another 2 hours back. I learned a few things on the trip as our discussion ran the gamut from gambling to God to kids to pets and everything inbetween. And neither of us were bored. Now that's what friends are for.
