family reunion '08

Eggemeyer 08

Well just the like the world rotates and revolves and you have perennial events; once the world revolves twice and rotates 730 times, so too comes the biennial Eggemeyer Reunion in Texas. This year finds me two year smarter, stronger, wiser, and worldlier. Most of the invited guest came; I arrived in Austin Friday afternoon around 1 o'clock and drove the hour to the Antlers Railroad Inn. Friday night we just hugged and talked it out. We had Mr. Gattis pizza, I ate 12 pieces, relax, they are small like Cici's. Of course everyone was ready for the Brothers Eggemeyer tandem assault in Scattegories, I've never met any persons who can throw together alliteration better than them and get those double triple points.

Saturday we went on our first golfff outing. I shot a 91. If we were playing golf it would have been about a 110, but with golfff, the two extra f's stand for fun and finagling the score.

So if you only count the shots you want then the game is much more enjoyable. After I rousing game of golf and raging case of sunburn, damn you spray on sun block, I went to starbucks to enter the American Airlines Magazine Road Warrior contest. I am a Road Warrior, at least in their definition. After that I came back and showered and we went to the hotel restaurant. Where we had the world's worst service, I didn't mind because I was talking with my cousins, but some of the tables finished their food before others started. I was able to try frog legs for the first time. They weren't very good. They had the texture of fish and the flavor of the fryer, which was a lot of seafood. I would never get them again. Afterwords we went back to the hotel and we played some scene it, Aunt Patty and I raped the other team. Ooohh Rahh. Then there was another game of Scattegories which I was paired with the younger cousins and still managed to win. Although Little Egg would never confirm that.

Sunday was another game of golf, but my score was much higher, there really wasn't much golfff going on. I made fun of my soon to be cousin in law, just because you aren't a blood relative doesn't mean I wont treat you as sub human.

Only 1000 more to go

Sunday afternoon I was maxing and chilaxing went I was sent to the grocery store to by yellow, not white corn meal. That night was a pot luck and picture taking. Each of the aunts and uncles individual families was dressed in a different color.

I ate lots of different foods and then we played some more scene it, I lost horribly and then we played something else not named Scattegories.

Monday we didn't leave first thing in the morning so I made little Egg breakfast, he wasn't sure why but he accepted. Then we said our goodbyes and went to the airport. Had a few drinks in the Continental lounge, said goodbye to the President and got a little toasted in first class.

yeah, he was there, why i would make stuff up, youd have to be crazy to make this kind of stuff up

anyways,
