Day 5 consisted of a picnic, which was the final event of the 20th Reunion.  Zeno and I rode bikes to the event, which was about 15 or so miles and of course we were thirsty when we got there, so we got into more beer, and as it turns out, I’d found a full bottle of whiskey in my bag that I’d forgotten about.  Apparently we bought that along with the 2nd bottle of gin the night of the 3rd.  Oh boy….well, let’s get into that too, I suppose.  The picnic was a lot of fun as we got to catch up with all the old classmates in a more relaxed setting.  One consistent problem that everybody was having was that in the previous activities, alcohol was very much involved, and so I was having many of the exact same conversations with the exact same people because I couldn’t remember what we’d talked about before.  No problem…it’s kinda like this joke:  What’s the best thing about Alzheimers?  You get to meet so many new people.  Afterward, Zeno and I met up with Amie Hickok and her husband.  Amie and I shared a locker our senior year and she is a crack up.  Afterward, we took off and rode to Zeno’s house to crash out, which we did.

Waking up the next morning, I noticed that Lucy, Zeno’s cat, had been nice enough to leave her kill right by where I was sleeping on the couch.  The little blue birdie had been cute in its lifetime that’s for sure and it was a tiny little thing.  In addition to that, there were feathers from a different and MUCH larger bird strewn all about the house.  If the blue birdie was about 4 or 5 inches in overall length, the black feathers were themselves 4 or 5 inches long.  Zeno was walking around the house that morning, crooning to his kitty, “My little sweet sweetie is a killing machine.”  Even better though was when I looked over and saw that she was eating something.  She had it in her paws and was gnawing on it, the same way that a dog will go at a big soup bone.  Upon closer inspection, I could see that she was snacking on a dragonfly.  DAMN!  You go girl!
