Sarah's friend Dave Berry, not Dave Barry, was having a wine and cheese party in Brookline about two blocks from my apartment. We went there with a bottle of wine in hand at about 7:30 and were the first people to arrive. I was immediately excited because the woman, Dave Berry's girlfriend Susan lives in the 50 Longwood complex that has an outdoor swimming pool that I have been dying to swim in for years.So at the wine and cheese every time I interacted with Susan I was talking to her boyfriend Dave about making pornography.

The reason for this is that Jeremy just returned from a trip to New York to visit Diamonds International. Jeremy generally doesn't do anything for them and instead spends his time at home watching DVDs at an alarming rate. When he arrived at the New York office his boss finally realized that Jeremy is actually still on the payroll. The initial plan was to start paying him for only the one hour per week he often works. Because of this Jeremy now is making half of the salary he was making before. The only job that I could think of that Jeremy had shown interest in other than as a DVD critic was to become a producer of high definition pornography. He ad even advertised on craig's list and gotten a decent response from potential actresses.So here I was at a wine and cheese party surrounded mostly by strangers and every time I bump into Susan, my one chance at summer bliss in Brookline at a local pool, I am talking about the making of porn movies.

Luckily I had a pre-planned exit for going to dinner with Sarah's sister and brother-in-law who were at the Cheesecake Factory waiting out a seventy minute pager to eat dinner with us. So I got into a long conversation with a Brazilian man named Fabio who was very interested in clinical trials and was from Brazil with the knowledge that I could soon escape to dinner. But Sarah kept coming back to me with five minute delays that I would have liked to time on an egg timer.We finally left the party when Sarah received a call from her angry sister that her sister's buzzer at the Cheesecake factory had gone off. So we rushed out of the party and walked back to my condo. On the way I called Jeremy to make sure that the dog hadn't eaten the cat and that the cat hadn't eaten the dog. He informed me that both the dog and cat were safe but that the dog had pooped on the floor. When I asked him why he hadn't picked up the dog poop he said that he was waiting for it to harden.

So I ran quickly upstairs and said hello to a pug dog who was very happy to see me. I then grabbed some paper towels and picked-up some moist new pug-poo and tossed it into the garbage and then rushed back to the car where Sarah was waiting for me out front.On the way to the Atrium mall Sarah called her sister who said she was annoyed that we were late and then got cut off. When we arrived at the Cheesecake factory we couldn't find her sister or her sister's husband. When we called them they told her they had waited too long and had gone home. So we drove back to Brookline and Sarah took him for a walk as she pondered the long term feud this would cause in her family. I think once this terd of a family squabble cools off it will be like a hardened pug dog poo that can easily be disposed of. As for Fabio, he had two Brazilian women hanging on his arms. I don't worry much about him.
