Tis the season, that’s for sure, a time when the sound that echoes hopefully through the chilled air is “Where’s the boys? Get me the boys!” Followed up with a litany of instructions and a search for cables, hook ups, sound, cords, projector with the screen, or perhaps let’s just move the T.V. “Hey, did any one find out which channel is covering this today…is it on Dish or Direct TV?”
Next we hear “Who’s on the deck? Let’s get them going on their job! I want a thorough cleaning.” A wife will step up and offer the pleasantry of “Wow it’s beautiful today.” And then fatefully add, “Are we entertaining?” it’s responded to by a slight whispering sound of a wallet being whisked out of a hip pocket and a flat statement of, “Do you think you could handle getting the wings, and maybe a vegetable plate, chips so that we can munch before the food, and drinks…what do the kids like to drink? Yeah it’s gorgeous, oh! And ice! And send me one of the boys we need to get these heaters working! Sausages are good!”
Another wife looks the scene over and is given the job of calling “The Guys” this being our married sons, sons-in-law, and other interested parties.
Before we know it our deck is spilling over with kids and grandkids, cousins and friends, wives and daughters-in-law, oh yeah, and “The Guys”.
Life is good, points are made…lungs are exercised and the air is punched. The volume plus that many people make it so I can’t make heads or tails of the sports babble other than that great sporting term “We”, and that is being pushed around so much I’m starting to wonder if they are watching themselves on the field.
As for me I only have one question…When is the Utah –B.Y.U. game? I think I hear a movie calling me that day.
