a one woman party.

Tracy says she is renting out an entire bar next year for her 35th birthday.  She is renting out the bar and hiring a band, all on a Friday night.  I say to her, "how much do you think that is gonna cost?".  She says, "don't know...don't care...I'll pay for it with my tax refund."  She is being especially particular about the location.  All I know so far is... it won't be at Joe's, Fatboys, Micks, any legion, firehall, or VFW...it won't be outside in a field, or pavilion.  The location seems to be as much a fantasy as the entire idea itself.

She says she might not invite anyone.  She may just keep it all for herself.  The funny thing is... I can see this.  I can see the band playing, Tracy standing there with a cigarette between her middle and pointing finger, eyes closed, shifting on her feet side to side,.... just listening.

The reality is, she will rent the bar, hire the band, make a list of friends...then spend the entire night manning the door, kicking people out of "her party".

She has threatened me with her "one woman party" if I keep putting the idea down.  I was thinking that there is no way this is going to happen...dad'll be there.
