Calvin & Jeanine vs. Wild
Hello Matt. Sorry I have not participated until now with tales from the states, but patience is a virtue and this story was worth the wait (Hey! that rhymed).
Last Friday I decided to take Jeanine out to dinner. We went to a small bar/restaurant called Pete’s two blocks away from our place. While enjoying our meal we noticed the sun had disappeared and a blanket of ominous grey clouds were closing in. Accompanying them were rather strong winds that made the underside of the leaves show with their gusts. A tell tale sign that a storm is coming. Not to worry. Jeanine I brought our handy green & black dollar store umbrellas. I was confident that no amount of rain could penetrate our fortresses.
We left the restaurant and the first block was not so bad. It was heavy rain, but as we hoped, our $1.07 investment held up, then came the next block. We encountered gale like winds along with heavy rain that swiftly imploded my defenses into collage of thin medal poles and a green tarp upon my head. Jeanine faired no better as she leaned into wind the water passing through her umbrella as if it were a strainer. It would have been enjoyable I think if we had a set of goggles. I was able to peer round the streets and sidewalks during our attack and saw that we were the only daredevils out braving the elements. We finally reached the sanctity of the side of our building. As suddenly as it started the rain stopped and the lack of onlookers was quickly replaced with a myriad of people wondering why Jeanine and I had decided to shower in our cloths. We entered our building, sopping wet leaving a trail of wet prints so anyone who wanted to join the imbecile parade could hop on. We finally reached our apartment hung up our cloths and reflected on the events that just occurred, Calvin & Jeanine vs. Wild, I think we lost.

Calvin, with the writers on strike I think Hollywood could use you.
A good story told with no grammatical errors, a first in our family blogs. Maybe you can get together with "The Boy" and come up with something creative over Thanksgiving. Aunt Pam
