Oh man, does that feel good.

It’s just really nice to know that suspicions from the very beginning are spot on sometimes (although I do admit, at the time, I had based it on some moot things as it turned out).

This round is on me!

Yes! It’s about freakin’ TIME!

We’ve got a lot to go on now, so I’m actually kind of pumped for tomorrow…unless, of course, I die.

Enough about dying. For now, we dance!

After all that I’m not sure if I’m happy, relieved or annoyed that it took two days…regardless I’m sure alcohol is a good solution.

Well, if we didn’t get a scum this round we’d be well and truly screwed. I’ve got a warm wave of relief washing over me.

Agreed. Our numbers must be getting perilously low. I was seriously afraid that this game’d be a shut-out.

Yep, and after two days of herding cats (that’s what it felt like) I got **YOU**. I’m just not sure I have the patience for many more days of this.

Out of curiosity, were you lot suckered? (Rhetorical Question - she can’t answer and I can wait until the game ends to find out).

Oh, and standing at the bar without a drink is a scum tell. BARMAN!

I’m going to be spending Mother’s Day with my sister, which means a road trip since she’s several hours away. Assuming that no bad weather delays my return, I should be gone from this afternoon (er…in a few minutes, actually) until tomorrow evening.
