Organizations. My dad joined the Elks. He even had an Elks tooth tie clasp. Moose, Lions Club. Was there ever and outfit called the Beavers? Or was that a joke? We went to picnics in the summer which was fun for a kid. Hot dogs and sodas. I remember one night in the winter we went to a get together and they were serving spaghetti and meatballs. I thought it was about the worst thing I'd ever eaten. Still remember that. A few years back I was in a small town I'd never been to and noticed a VFW (? I can't keep them straight) club. I walked in and it was basically a bar. One old guy was asleep on the bar and another guy asked me, what do you want? I said, I'd never been in and thought I'd check it out. I signed in had a beer and left.
If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
