Later that day Isa received a phone call from the parents of Di who thanked her for having her daughter and her friends over to our house on several o...casions recently. Her mother said that they would like the opportunity to return the favour and asked if we were doing anything special for New Year. When Isa told her that we had nothing planned Di's mother invited all of us to her house to bring in the New Year. She told Isa that they had invited Jenny's parents and hoped that we would be able. " Is that why you weren't available, two weeks ago?" Will asked."Yes, Will. I didn't think you would be interested, so I didn't even think to invite you. We have our next surface hike scheduled for two weeks from today. Would you and David like to join me?"Both responded in the affirmative.An hour and forty-five minutes later, they returned to the registration table to have their event books and kilometer books stamped. The woman working the table saw that this was David's first ten kilometers. "Helen laughed. "I feel the same way, Donnie. Andrew is a most attractive man, but please! How could you compare him to Jake in bed?"I said, "I guess we are at an impasse. You claim that Jake is the world's greatest lover. I think that it's Andrew. But we can't really know, can we?"That's when Helen said, "I suppose there is a way we could find out."Helen and I both looked Jake in the eye while giving him our sweetest smiles. He had that 'deer in the headlights' look. He had been sitting here. I repeated the oath and more than a few more and threatened to slap the crazy old woman back. Yeah ... I'd do it too ... I had to take her craziness while I lived under her roof when I was kid but I swore when I left home that I'd never again be subjected to her egotistic self-centeredness."That's your father's truck too, you ungrateful swine. You never did appreciate anything that he did for you!" What are you raving about? Your husband didn't want to take his nearly thirty year old pickup.
