My Way of Life
I saw Dick O’Days Big Lovely Bingo, or whatever the hell it’s called. What great fun! The Kodeski-Herreras were there and so was Vicki Quade and her kids. Well, they’re not kids anymore. Even Christopher came along and he was feisty. I didn’t win any bingo games while Mr. Kodeski won two, which hardly seemed fair until I saw what he had to lug home with him (I don’t mean Edward). We sat with Aaron Smith and Marna, The Last Lady of Song. Even silly dumb bingo brings out the competitive streak in me. I found myself listening intently to the numbers and telling Aaron that his chatter was disturbing my concentration. I’m still the same kid that used to get sent to his room when I would accuse people of cheating if they were beating me- whether it was my mother in 500 rummy or my Auntie Evelyn during a game of SORRY!. I am a total Eunice Harper Higgins.

“telling Aaron that his chatter was disturbing my concentration”
It’s true–Bingo is a highly skilled game, kind of like driving a forklift.
If it’s any consolation, you can have that Murks album (I think you DID come up with the Karen Black answer before I did, anyway).
You guys were a lovely audience! Thanks for playing.
I was so disappointed to learn that SORRY! doesn’t come with a little bell you can ring whenever you screw someone over. I can still hear Ms. Burnett’s multi-syllabic “Sa-aw–oh-rry!”
I know! And its the Monopoly one that gets all the glory. The Sorry skit is just as good but I guess the Monopoly one has the really sad ending to it…
