You'd better play with me

So in my Craigslist browsing a couple weeks ago I discovered there was a Monty Python card game and, even better, there was a set for sale nearby. After emailing the guy back and forth, we agreed to meet half way for the exchange, since he was in Boulder.

I emailed him yesterday just to make sure he still had them and was willing to sell. He emailed me back saying he was dropping them off at his dad's house, since that was much closer to me and here's a phone number and a Google Map. I called today to make sure the cards were there and I was told he'd be home about 5:45 with the game and that'd be that.

After driving through miles of rush hour traffic I finally got to his house. Except only his mom was home. She invited me in, told me all about her sons and we sat down and watched pretty much all of Jeopardy. Her husband called and said he was running late so it'd be easier if she met him at the restaurant for supper. Which meant I was meeting him for supper also.

I left work at 4:30 and finally got my hands on the cards about two hours later. Surprised I still made it to the comic store on time, but a lot of traffic had been cleared by then. So after weeks of talking and a lot of waiting, I'd better get some enjoyment out of this game or I'll be really upset.
