Today's post is not about Baseball. Instead, it is about my first visit to Yonkers Game Night in almost 2 months.

A little while back, Lane Bryant sent me a coupon which gave me a $20 discount on anything I purchased. Well, the above photo shows me in a dress I bought with that coupon. (I'm sorry it's a horrible picture, but I was using a selfie stick with a non-functional switch to click the shutter control on the phone's camera.) Given that I liked how the dress looked and felt, I decided to wear it to game night.
I drove to Yonkers and decided to pick up some snacks to contribute to the bounty available for the guests. So I went into the local CVS and picked up a bag of pretzels, and that's where the "fun" came in. One of the two self-service checkout stations wasn't working, and a staff member was trying to get the one working machines to process a refund/return (I don't know which), causing the line to back up. Although there was someone behind the counter that could open up a register, he didn't - until I opened up my big mouth and complained about him, the problem in front of the line, and the ten people behind me. At that point, I may have made a few people upset (I was in front of the newly opened register, and out the door before anyone had a chance to think), but I was now able to go to game night.
When I got to their house, the hostess said that there were some "Birthday Donuts" for me, and wanted to hear about my trip to Norway. I kept it reasonably short, and then we started to play some games - which I lost as usual. But it was a good ending to my evening....
