As with any new “season” (this one being hockey) there is a whole new cast of characters for me to laugh with, laugh at and bring into the fold. This year is going to be no exception. To start I will have to introduce you to a lady I met quite some time ago as I believe her and her husband will be heavily featured in my writing in the next six months. Before I even met this chick I called her Coach. Not because she coached hockey or because she wore track suits all the time like Sue Sylvester on Glee. No. She had the cutest pair of Coach flats and, at the time, I was a little Coach crazy having just welcomed my first Coach bag into the family. As I have already dubbed the one and only real Coach with that name and if I used it for two people Coach’s First Wife would be sooo confused, I am forced to find another code name for my friend. I was having difficulty with this one mostly because she is such a freakin nice person with no obvious flaws! So I came up with Gucci. Yes, Gucci. Not because she has a Gucci bag (which she just might) but because the definition of Gucci is “good, awesome, high quality” and that seemed to fit. Now Gucci’s husband is another situation all together. I like to think of myself as being pretty high ranking on the Board of Directors in Sarcasmville but Gucci’s husband? – this guy IS the CEO. I look like a sarcasm practicum student next to him! (Dammit all if the chocolate bar names wouldn’t work in this case – Big Turk?) Now that I think of it, I think I will just call the man Mr. CEO. It works. The reason I introduce you to these folks is because they are both insane enough to have a team party this weekend and, if things go according to my predictions, I will be writing about said party for quite some time. Let’s just say I am thinking all kinds of Cracker Jack are coming to the pool!
To be continued………
