Last night Lindsey and I went back to chez Morrison for a good home-cooked meal and some quality time with my family. As it turned out, my dad wasn't there at all, and in his stead was Buddy, my brother's best friend. Buddy's a funny guy: he's sort of a mix of Chris Farley and John Belushi who was the student president of the local community college all last year.
Over dinner my mom and Buddy exchanged stories about Alec (this was his first time ever over for dinner I think), which - especially with Alec on the side trying desperately to relate the 'true' events of his own life - was enough to keep Lin and I laughing for a constant thirty minutes or more.
In the end, Buddy decided that invitation from Alec or no, he would be back for dinner at the Morrisons' again.
It's a boring story, I know, you'll just have to trust me that being there was the single funniest thing I've experienced in a while.
And then I found five dollars.
