Everything went pretty good until....

Thanksgiving dinner again, my wife was not in attendance as she was in servitude to her mother.

Bob brought with him a book and 2 magazines, never a good sign.

There was the article in the book about the royal gorge that we visited when I was kid. He brought up how my mom was scared to cross the bridge as she was convinced it was going to collapse when they crossed because it has wooden beams for the roadway, it did not of course collapse.

He wanted to show me the peabody railroad that he has been infatuated ever since he was a kid. I have to pretend to be interested as he gets a little upset if I am not giving him 100% attention when he tells me all about it. What ever it was I don't remember.

He also wanted to show me an article about a Lionel OO gauge railroad set that he had 2 of up until 2001 when he sold them for his fire truck he bought. He sold them for $1600.

He then repeated the story about the royal gorge and went through the other 2 articles again.

We had dinner, and then retired to my computer room when he brought up the GOD DAMN freecell game. ಠ_ಠ

He insist that the game is not winnable and he can never win it, even though it is the easiest version of solitaire around. I got quite irritated with him and finally changed the subject and decided to bore him with talk about the last radio I restored. We watched the EV nautilus for a while and then he went home.
