As the gents worked on their “boner control,” the ladies’ thoughts were decidedly random: Maude, “I wonder if Clarence thinks my ass is too big?”; Jane, “Jesus, Henry, can you get the billy-club out of my back?”; Judy, “This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. Look at us. What a bunch of dorks.”

“Oh, those were high times,” she said wistfully, “and that was quite an evening!” Smiling, she slid the photograph across the table towards me. “One of those men,” she continued plainly, “is your grandfather. And I’ll be damned if I know which one.”

We get together twice a year in an undisclosed location. Some say we do it to test ourselves, others insist it is much more complicated. The object, however, was simple, last one to smile wins.

Jelly Martin, having recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer, had packed up what was left of her life and driven 1,245 miles to her ex-husband’s house. She’d been sitting in her car in his driveway for the last 20 minutes, trying to figure out how she was going to word her very unusual request.

Quietly, I stood in front of the firing squad for the second and most certainly the last time. Half anxious, half defeated, I awaited my fate. Her smile didn’t seem so enticing anymore.
