You see, I had been to a party there before. A long time ago, even before Sweetie was a part of my life. It was before they had their existing club house. The party was in their old clubhouse. A very fine and distinguished building.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t get into who I was with or what the function was because that doesn&#8217;t matter. What matters is that apparently things didn&#8217;t go well and I was told that I wasn&#8217;t welcome back.<\/p>\n<p>The evening started out just fine. The building looked really elegant with all the late model cars parked in front. Nothing but top shelf here. Don&#8217;t be bringing your old junkers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328364003125356994\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 313px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/TCC-before-300x234.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>We had cocktails and then dinner.

There were lots of rumors, nothing ever proven, personally I think it was something I ate. All I know is that I woke up the next morning to some accusing stares and somebody thrust a newspaper in front of me with this picture and asked if I was happy with myself.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328364009166532866\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 287px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/TCC-Burning-300x215.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/> <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">I have to admit that I had a really good time.
