Ron drove E-Nate, Mike, and me to our second tuxado fitting on his way home. The green vest fits well and looks good. (I should look into a career as a male model.) Dolan came in order to take us home afterward. While we were being fitted, he and Ron schmoozed at Friday's. When we found them there, they'd decided to stay. Our waitress, Betty, kicked ass. She made fun of Nate and Dolan, kept insisting that we add alcohol to our drinks (which we did), and brought out 10 male and female “contestants” in turn (including the manager!) who each tried to demonstrate their superiority by performing some sort of trick or stunt. We selected Dave, Kristen, and Colleen as Finalists. In the championship round, Dave attempted a cartwheel — brave, considering all the tables and customers around — but failed; Kristen juggled ceramic condiment containers adroitly; and Colleen sang under the influence of helium. We decided that Colleen won, with the prize consisting of one-third of the generous tip, having Betty's previously unnamed pen named after her, and a sugar packet (because she was so sweet). Thanks to Ron for making us stay and enjoy ourselves.

I've made enough small tweaks to the look of schmonz.com. This time I've redesigned it. And this time, I'm really happy with the way it looks. Of course, I won't be able to stop tweaking, but the general look is finally up to my personal standards. I need a logo or snazzy title graphic. Want to help?
