The Man Who Does Work At The Retirement Home

At some point yesterday afternoon, I was standing on the balcony of Aaron Payne's apartment with my buddy James and a few other people. The two of us were talking about a variety of things, when someone noticed there was a rather old man going for a swim in the pool at Towson Woods. This man was swimming by himself and was probably in his 70's. Instantly the old man became the topic of the conversation and the majority of the people on the balcony were quite surprised that someone that age would have the audacity to live in Towson Woods and it's at this point that James stepped up to the plate. James claimed that when he becomes an old man he wants to live in Towson Woods and sit out on his patio with a sign saying "Old Man For Rent" His hope is that he will be able to use his old age to instill valuable lessons of wisdom and knowledge to any one that cares. I found it to be quite an interesting approach, I mean old people need jobs too, and why not be a free agent and be available to sign with the highest bidder, while enjoying your age.

Now, this conversation provoked another and this one was about retirement homes. There was a lady at Payne's apartment, named Ms. Sharon and Ms. Sharon was Ms. Sharon because well she had quite a few years on the average person at the party. Nevertheless, Ms. Sharon was some serious eye candy as well, and the term cougar most definitely applied to her. I'm sure the Jacoby's would have been all over her had they of been at the party. Anyways, Ms. Sharon started telling us about her uncle. Good ol' Uncle Woodrow Wilson Myers. Supposedly, ol' Woody is 92 and lives at an assisted living center somewhere in the area. Despite being the ripe old age of 92, ol' Woody can still walk on his own, still is healthy enough to keep his shoulders back and chest out, and even has a full head of hair. With the help of those characteristics, ol' Woody is supposedly quite the ladies man at the assisted living center. Every time the son of gun goes into the dining hall, he gets all these old hags all smitten over him. Within a matter of seconds they are licking their dentures, hiking up their britches, and sliding their walkers under the dining room table in hopes to catch the eye of good ol' Woody. Throughout the course of this conversation one could just see James deeply developing a sense of awe and an aspiring man crush on the 92 year old playa known as Woody.

As a result of Dagro moving back to Frederick and joining up with the staff at Glory Day's Frederick, the Beer Olympics eventually came to an end and turned into an epic battle of survivor flip cup between Glory Days Towson and Glory Days Frederick. Each side started with eight members and it soon became quite obvious that when it comes to flip cup, Frederick is simply playing at a JV level. Thanks to the solid core of myself, Payne, and a little blond named Blair, who could definitely hold her own with the big boys, we were able to pit the two roommates against each other in a battle for the ages. The DJ even stopped spinning to make an announcement so every one could watch as Payne ended the game rightly in the gauntlet against Dagro. And we all know the words that instantly followed "Thanks for Playing."

I was at the Orioles game Friday, enjoying a beer or two, and they had a sign posted in front of Sliders that bothered me. Damon even mentioned it in his most recent blog and I don't like the way he put together the whole paragraph, although I can't say I'm a bit surprised. Now, the sign said "All Beers 2 for 5$" And right under it, the sign said Pabst 3$ and Natty Boh's 2 for 4$. Stilling and McGrain kept telling me that the fact that they put the Pabst and Natty Boh prices on the sign, rightfully explained that all beer except Pabst and Natty Boh were two for five and I understood what they were saying. But push comes to shove, the first thing you read is all beer is two for five bucks, when quite frankly, all beer is not two for five bucks and therefore the sign is preposterous. Am I right or am I right? They simply could put "Beer 2 for 5$" and I would have been happy, but they threw in the world all and it was just atrocious.
