Caroline Area Man Almost Ruins New Year's

Well, Caroline Area Man has done it again.

He claims to have saved Christmas by decorating the helloutta our house when we weren't home. If you want to read the story from HIS side, please visit the link on the left (My BroMo Caroline Area Man).

What he didn't tell you was that although he saved Christmas he nearly ruined New Year's by almost killing my husband.

Sometime in the wee hours of the morn the dogs started making a ruckus. My Dearly Beloved got out of bed and let the dogs out for a piddle. What he didn't realize was that good old Grandma and Grandpa left the gate open when they left that evening. The dogs raced out of the yard after a deer or skunk or coyote or other evil beast. They were yipping and yowling and running like demons into the night. My poor Dearly Beloved ran out into the snowy night after them in his bare feet and underpants. He stood at the end of the sidewalk and yipped into the night til the dogs came running back. He was swearing a blue streak and finally the hounds returned. While he'd been standing on the sidewalk the snow beneath his barefeet melted into a nice pool of water. Once the dogs were safely inside the fence he swung the gate shut. He was standing in a nice pool of water, barefoot, in his skivvies. Somehow the 25,000 Christmas lights hanging on the wire fence shorted out and gave my poor, dear, saint of a husband the jolt of a lifetime. Later he told me he thought he would die there, alone, in the cold, in his skivvies. He said his heart stopped.

Yes, so Caroline Area Man, you did bring the festive spirit to our little home. But you nearly killed off our Sugar Daddy in the process.

Happy New Year everyone!
