San Diego Reader

There was a poker table outside with ten guys playing. Although there were tiki torches and a fire pit, it got too dark to play. The guys decided to bring the table inside to continue. I thought of a friend's wife who once said she thought I had a gambling problem. I disagreed. But when I found out these guys weren't playing for money, I lost interest in their game. Perhaps my friend's wife had a point.

There was a group of women talking about guys. One of the women had broken up with her boyfriend. There was talk about playing a dating game for her. The others were explaining why their men weren't at the party.

One woman was complaining that she got mono and missed the U2 concert. I asked, "Did you get mono from Bono?" She said, "Unfortunately not."

When the fireworks started, we were all joking about only seeing a handful of them because of the mountain. One lady said, "Wow, I just saw half of one." When another girl said this, her friend replied, "That was more like three-quarters." She said, "I never was good in math." When the next firework shot into the air, I said, "I think we only saw one-eighth of that one."
