The O'dog family traditionally held a large Halloween party. This year in light of recent events neither the She nor the Dog wanted to continue however the Pups insisted so it will be at the She's house.
The O'dog hadn't said anything to anyone but inside was a little indifferent about going. It's at the She's house and somewhat awkward. However lately the She has placed a lot of importance on this - the Dog must show up.
"Did you schedule your surgery two days before to get out of going to the party?" - No, it was first available date and I want to get it done.
"You're not going to be in great shape. If you can't go then YOU need to break it to the kids" - The O'dog can probably go but just can't/won't make a whole evening out of it - maybe an hour or two.
hmmm....why is She making a big deal out of this? Is it really about the Pups or is something else going on.

In other news, O'dog joined the fb group for his Zendo (in real life I don't share matters of faith like I do around here). If family and friends wondered, then now they know. I really don't care but I suspect a few others will make a matter of it.
