You're HOW old?!?

Four score and seven years ago (well actually not nearly that long ago but this sounds more poetic), a baby girl was born in Pleasant Harbor on the Mississippi. We chose this weekend to commerate the anniversary of Sugar's arrival the same way we choose to celebrate anything- with beer. Follow along as we recount the exploits of Team Satisfied as the mark Sugar's entry into middle age (and by middle we mean old enough to know better but almost too young to care).

Fortunately for us, the 21st fell on a Friday this year. Quite possibly the only thing worse than having your birthday in the middle of the week is having your teammate have to be on call. But since we are not a group to tempt fate, (wildly cackling laugh would be good right here) we decided to forge ahead with our plans. At least, we reasoned, we'd have a good designated driver. As is Sug & Spark's tradition, the first stop of the evening was to visit their favorite bartender of all time at the O'Malley & McGee's Mexican Restaurant.

It's well known that Team Satisfied likes to drink beer and will gladly accept a beer from just about anybody that's buying however, we have a rule- Team Satisfied does not do hard liquor. This includes, but is not limited to, SHOTS. Our philosophy has always been that its better to remember the drunks last night than be remembered as the drunk last night. Somehow, small rapidly ingested quanities of grain alcohol seem to turn our tables more than we'd like. I digress- back to the story...

So meanwhile at OM&MG's some well-intentioned but insane individual has managed to get us to put his Hot Nuts in our mouths (1/2 drambuie, 1/2 decaf- as in coffee- yuk). Clearly this celebratory event has started off badly for our birthday girl. You know what they say about once the water is over the dam don't you?

Wouldn't you know it! As soon as we stopped at a friend's homecoming party our DD got the page... she had to go off to handle an insurance emergency. Not willing to let this Sugar off the hook though, Sunny entrusted Sparks and the crew at the Whiskey River to complete the celebration of this milestone. Well, word travels fast and soon Sug was enjoying another complimentary beverage, not of her choice.

Stranded, Sug and Sparks had no other recourse than to call in the drunks best friend, the sag driver. Satisfied Sid works a second shift so on his way home he stopped by and rescued these damsels in distress. WHAT would we do without him?!?
