  My biggest fear about Jay and Azure getting together was if they broke up, I didn’t want to have to choose sides. When Jay called me to let me know they broke up, he called out of concern for Azure’s well-being. He wanted to make sure she was okay, which meant for me, I…

  George and Dorrie’s wedding was right around the corner. Of course a few days before the wedding we may or may not have had a bachelor party for him. So this story that follows is purely hypothetical.   Unlike Don’s bachelor party, this one felt less dirty. We still h...

  New Year’s came and the guys at Fiddler’s Green decided to host another Formal New Year’s Party.  I agreed to catch a ride from Chrissy to the party. She worked a wedding earlier and was going to pick me around 10PM, a little late for the party, but doable. On the wa...

  With the Mary saga behind us, most of us wanted to move on and never look back We still worked with her, but living a half a block away from the Mall, none of us felt obligated to give her a ride home, so socially, we didn’t have to see her much. There were…
