Shooters
A lot of guests have retired. The rest have gone into the pool room. The
waiter brings some shooters . . . and Jim wonders if he should pass as
he thinks about impending hang-over.

Wendy HB Cake
Oh, the dirty dog, Jim told the chef that it was Wendy's birthday, and
yep, ya guessed it, the waiters came over to sing-a-song. Wendy gets a
piece of cake with a candle and so does Jim. We both blow out our candles,
but Wendy blows a force-gale wind resulting in a chocolate-flake snow storm
all over the table . . all captured on video for posterity.
