WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!
[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.
And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

Sorry I spoiled our dance.

There is that.

You see? It’s all fine.

Yeah. Nevertheless, I think I'm going to have another drink.

Shall I join you? Or would you prefer to be alone?

As you will.

Being alone sort of seems counterproductive at a party.

A party is however you feel most comfortable.
