Once there was a girl who came out drinking with us all the time, who took a run for the number one sponsor position and almost made it, and then very suddenly ceased to appear. Oh, at the end she made a few more appearances, and then she and I went to Italy together for a couple weeks, but then really, she was just gone.

In the last few weeks, she's resurfaced, and now, in a wonderful turn around, she's coming out with us tonight. She gets married in a week, and moves to New Orleans in two, so this is the very last chance, perhaps ever, that I'll have to go out with her. I'm rather glad she's making the time. We're going to new bars, so maybe we can get her, for old time's sake, to sponsor. Which would be funny, as we're done, but then, we have had one or two sponsors since, so it's not unheard of.
