dawn of post 36

"Those two things do not go together."

Not ordinarily, but hear me out. After watching the Dragon dock in space, I then had luncheon with Dawn at our usual haunt.

"You mean at The King & I."

Exactly what I said. She wanted us to have one more moment of calm before the upcoming monster BYOP awoke at her house.

"I just realized this was Thursday! Y'all don't usually meet this late in the week."

Well, she travels a lot for work, as you know, and I was catching her just before she was heading off for another convention. Lucky me!

"And you've changed up your order, too!"

I did! I went for one of the lunch specials, mostly because  wanted the spring roll that comes along with it. That's broccoli tofu stirfry, with house sauce. I felt the need for some vegetables in my life, and that really hit the spot!

"Nice to mix it up from time to time. And did y'all talk about the Dragon?"

Of course we did, but also about Halloween being overtaken by Christmas. She had been out looking for a few more items for her party and guess what she found? Not Halloween stuff on sale, oh, no. Stores with no Halloween merchandise at all, all replaced with Christmas decor! In the middle of October!!!

"That's just craziness."

Most assuredly! Then, later, at the meeting of American Legion Post 36, we were talking about that same thing!

"Oh, you actually had a meeting of your Post this month?"

We did! Well, I say 'we', but it was the same folks that show up from our Post for the Two First Posts meetings. Namely, me, Doug, Michael T, and Billy. The main difference was Doug brought us pizza and we were in the conference room.

"Is that a pineapple and cheese pizza???"

Yeah. I thought that was a little odd, too, but that was one of the five pizzas he brought over from Kool Vibes.

"What? I've never heard of that place. And is that pepperoni or salami?"

It's pepperoni and was very good! That pizza and wing restaurant is over on the west side of Savannah, so that's why I've never been there. Doug made it sound like someone from the BC military academy started it. I don't know. I just know it's not somewhere I'll be going out of my way to eat at.

"Yeah, it looks a little strange."

It's all the New York style crust, and that's not one of my favorites. At least Post 36 got together tonight, although I'd hesitate to call it a meeting. No minutes were read, no table for the MIA, no business attended to. Still, it was good to be with these men and just talk, you know?

"I know. Been months since y'all did that."

I'll make a note of the third Thursday in November to be there again. Hopefully, the canteen will be up and running and we can get dinner there. C'mon, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, I want to try that barbecue! Now, I'm going to sit back and watch "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice"! Comcast gave me that reward this morning, to add to my collection of movies I can watch any time. Thanks, y'all!
