What You Won't See

Because my camera is on the fritz, this is what you won't see from a co-worker's get-together this afternoon.

• Jack kicking a ball like a soccer pro.
• Jack chasing chickens.
• Mike chasing chickens.
• Overheard: "Over in the woods is the ghost of a Native American, shaking his head and saying, "I can't believe we lost this land to these people," as my co-worker's son tried three times to hit the wood pile with a burning stick from his bow.
• My co-worker's bonfire flaming so high that one of his tree branches caught fire.
• Me, making my graceful exit, twisting my ankle as I fell down. No, I didn't drink any alcohol tonight. Just being my usual graceful self.
