This party was quite an experience. All previous years the carving was the night before the party. Kind of lost interest in the actual party and just went to the carving the last 5 years... Then 4 or 5 of us would cut out the faces and drink Knob Creek. We always did it all outside.
This year was totally different. The pumpkins were there but it was like a cocktail party with tons of people, boys and girls that I hadn't seen in forever.
When I got there I realized I either had to go with it, or go home... I'm not worried about it at this point.
