Eating Chicken in my Underwear

My wife and kids are in New Jersey, which means I have a vacation as well.

In years past, when they would leave me alone, i would run out to bars and hang out with friends. This time, I haven't been in the mood. I did finally file the big bucket of papers that has been filling up since we moved into this house in 2002. It took two days to finish, but I am glad that is finally done.

I was left with some projects that need to be done before everyone gets back. The toughest was probably washing the Chulent pot. It was exceptionally difficult to clean, and I had to recook the chulent that stuck to the side so it would come off, but that job is now done.

Next was the dairy dishes, and that too, is done.

Last night, after finishing up some household chores, I took out some leftover chicken, sat on my couch in my underweaar, watched TV and had a little feast. This morning, when i told a friend that the family was gone, he asked if I was sitting at home watching TV and eating chicken in my underwear. I guess that is the universal goal of all of us who no longer run out barhopping when the family is gone.

I killed an opossum last night. I was driving, and the damn thing walked into the street as I was heading for the exact spot.

Thump, and that was all she wrote for that little guy. I wonder if he is sitting in some kind of Opossum heaven, plotting revenge on my family with the opossum that my wife killed on I-80 a few years back.

Anyway, for this exciting week, here was the "fun."

Sunday Night -Sunday Night Shiur at the Kollel
Monday Night- School Dinner Committee meeting
Tuesday Night - Chavrusa at the Kollel
Wednesday night - Hockey practice and scouting
Thursday Night - Still open for suggestions. And don't say strip clubs. I made a promise years ago to my wife that i would not visit that type of establishment again. Interestingly, hookers are still OK, but who can find a hooker in suburbia anyway.
Friday night - Still open, but I will probably invite myself to a neighbor
Saturday Night - Still open.

My State tax refund check came today, so maybe Saturday night will be Casino night downtown.
