I had a lot of time to myself on the plane to San Diego, so I was thinking about the party. More Coconut rum, but this time better planned drinks. No Desert Islands! We'll pick up some other ingredients and make Mai Tai's and Bay Breezes and other tropical themed drinks. I think all the palm trees out here are going to my head. I've also had almost nothing but McDonalds and coffee all day. Maybe I can rip up one of these trees and take it on the plane? We could have our very own palm tree on the 6th Floor! I wonder if that would violate our lease...

So far my plane gets in early Friday, so I should be able to help you shop and cook. We should make chili,that's always fun for parties. I assume Mark's coming right? And Billy is bringing Janine? We'll have to try not to chase them off by having a party as dull as last years, although it is fun when it's just a few of us. I'm bringing back chocolates from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, but not for the party, just for us. I'm going to go get ready for my interview now, probably get some more coffee. I'll see you tomorrow.

Going to San Diego

Welcome to the 6^th floor.

Today's contributors are: Ann, Sara, Scott.

Subject: San Diego

Sara hangs up her cellphone. “Well, I guess I'm going to San Diego on Wednesday.”

“They're flying you out there?”

“Yeah. I guess it'll be fun to look around for a day, new experiences and all.”

“Would you take the job?”

“You can't move to San Diego! You belong in New York.”

“So I can't consider sunny southern California? It's supposed to be nice out there.”

“Nope. You're not allowed. New York is your home.”

“So are you renting a car? Or just going to save as much money as possible and just wander around?”

“I don't know. I'm going to look later and see what I can do with name your price through priceline.com. If I can get a crazy low price it probably beats worrying about or paying for transportation to the airport.”

“When was the last time you drove? That could be fun.”

“Oh shush, I'm a fine driver.”

“Better check that the hotel has parking. You are going to be in a city, might cost more to park than to have the car.”

“That's a valid point. I just wish it was April, I could catch a Padres game. Maybe I'll walk over and stare forlornly at the park.”

“I'm sure there is something better to do in the city than stare at an empty baseball stadium.”

“Yeah. I hope so. I'm also going to see three new airports on this trip. I have layovers in both St. Paul Minnesota, and Salt Lake City Utah. I'm going to make sure I'm wearing my Mets Santana 57 shirt when I'm in Minnesota.”

“That's a little mean don't you think? I wonder if anyone in Minnesota is a big enough Twins fan to call you out on it. Especially in the airport.”

“I'll let you know! I'll only be in the airport for a very little while though, so It might not even get noticed. I doubt anyone in San Diego will care.”

“So you're coming back Friday morning right? Plenty of time to help out with our anniversary party on Saturday?”

“Yup. I'll call you when I get off the plane and you can put on a pot of coffee for me. I'm going to be exhausted because I don't sleep well on planes.”

“Sounds good. Hopefully you don't have a delay in the airport.”

“Make sure we have enough drinks this year. Maybe everyone won't bail on the party early.”

“Don't worry, I have a whole theme planned.”

“Anything you want me to get from San Diego for the party? Or just for fun?”

“If you see something that fits the theme, don't hesitate!”

“Bring me back an escaped Mexican illegal.”

Sara quirks an eyebrow at Scott.

“You're close to Tijuana right? I don't know what else San Diego has.”

“I'll find something, don't worry. I should probably go pack now.” Sara wanders off towards her room.

Drinking During the MLB All-Star Game

Welcome to the 6^th floor.

Today's contributors are: Ann, Tabitha, Frank, Billy.

Subject: All-Star Drinking Game

“Sara and Scott want to watch the All-Star Game tonight. You guys in for that?”

“Sure, I don't have anything else planned.”

“Is there going to be drinking?”

“You ask that about everything.”

“It's always a valid question.”

“Not in response to 'Let's go play laser tag.'!”

“If you think laser tag is fun sober, you should try it drunk.”

“I'd think they'd frown on that.”

“You'd be surprised. As long as you don't puke on the guns they're pretty much okay with it.”

“Enough about puke. Sara actually devised an All-Star drinking game, so we can actually drink if you like.”

“Sounds like she had a productive day at work yesterday.”

“She must have. You did hear Frank say she made up a drinking game right?”

“I'm sure her bosses loved that.”

“Well they should. It looks like a good game, well thought out. We actually have to split into teams, and drink based on what either the National or American league do.”

“Sounds decent. Do we have beer?”

Billy goes to the fridge to check. “We have some. We should probably pick up another case.”

“We'll leave that to you. When is the game on? Seven like normal?”

“Actually, it's on at eight. It's a national broadcast so they want it on in prime time on the east coast. It'll be five in San Francisco.”

“Why do we care what time it's on in San Francisco?”

“Well, the game itself is being playing in San Francisco.”

“Oh. Well Billy's going to get more beer, I actually have a job interview now. I'll be back later.”

“Job interview? Decided to actually earn money this summer?”

“Yeah. It's an office job. I'd just be answering phones and that kind of thing. If Scott and Billy are going to keep insisting we drink pretty much every night I'm going to need more cash.”

“Well good luck!”

“Break a leg.”

“I think they only say that in show business.”

“Oh. Well, at least if you break a leg getting the job you'll have insurance right?”

“I doubt breaking a leg at the job interview would leave a good impression actually. I probably wouldn't get the job.”

“They frown upon drinking games in hospitals too.”

“Good luck!” Frank calls as Tabitha leaves.

“I don't really understand this gainful employment stuff you guys are so into. Seems like such a drag.”

By the way, the drinking game Sara devised can be found at MLB All Star Drinking Game. Enjoy!
