So, I remind my wife at the end of last week that I'm going to have dinner with my internet friends the following Friday in Chicago. She says, "You know that is when your brother is having the graduation party for your niece." In a temporary loss of priorities I suggest that I will just rush downtown to join everyone after dinner. She asks, "What is your problem? Your sister is flying in from Denver and your brother from North Carolina and you want to go see some people you chat with on the computer?" Trying to salvage this experience I ask, "Honey, this thing is kind of important to me, if I don't go Friday, what would you think about having them all over Saturday for a picnic? You know I've never met them." She screams, "NEVER MET THEM, THEY PRACTICALLY LIVE HERE!"
That went well.
I've come to my senses and I realize that my niece, my brother, my sister and my marriage are more important to me than this wonderful dinner with the Babblers that I was looking forward to attending. I hope that I will be able to join you guys for some part of Saturday's events. I'm sorry about the dinner.
