Post Sixty-Eight: Just what I wanted

My lovely wife has invited over about 20 people this evening, about half of whom will be my daughters' ages.

Just perfect.

All I wanted to do this evening was watch the Texas/OSU game, drink a couple of beers, and perhaps watch a late movie. Now, I will have to make small talk with people I don't know too well, having in common only the fact that our kids are the same age, while trying to protect my sanity from the cacophonous din that will be raging all evening.
