Life and Bunco

Last night I joined a bunch of very fun people for Bunco. It's basically a dice game but quite honestly, it's a reason to get together, talk, eat, laugh a lot and just have a good time with friends.



The general instructions for Bunco are:
  1. Come happy
  2. Bring food
  3. Play the game--sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
  4. Laugh and have fun no matter what!
Some friends came by my house this weekend to help me clean out my garage. They brought home made oatmeal cookies and a big bottle of red wine. (My favorite combination!) As we moved boxes and swept and organized the garage, we talked about our jobs and about men and even a little bit about baseball. We cried a little and laughed a lot. We ate the rest of the cookies and finished off the wine and marveled at the progress we had made along the way.
Damn, I have some good friends.

I was thinking that Life is basically a dice game too. And, really, the instructions for living life are pretty much the same as for Bunco:
  1. Come happy
  2. Bring food
  3. Play the game--sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
  4. Laugh and have fun and enjoy yourself no matter what.

Sorry we missed the garage cleaning-out...you must have just wrapped it up when we came by with the borrowed chairs.
But Bunco? really? that's a funny name for a game of throwing dice and eating and drinking...sort of like 'Drunco', a bunch of guys getting together to eat and drink while watching football...
