If you've met Mr. Mod you'll find this funny (long)

if you haven't you probably won't.

So Mr. Mod is in Cinci on his first business trip with the new job with some honcho woncho types. Last night they want out to drink and the sr sr partner kept drinking and Mr. Mod wouldn't stop drinking until the sr sr guy stopped drinking. sigh.

It was also my book club night. We were discussing All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. Mr. Mod listened to it on audiobook and watched several episodes from the British television series. He was very excited for our discussion.

So he calls, in the middle of book club and asks how it is going. I say fine, but we're mostly saying "yeah it is sweet and descriptive and a memoir, hard to criticize. Some of us wish it had been written with more plotting rather than vignettes but whatever". Drunk Mr. Mod takes offense to this, demands I put him on speakerphone and proceeds to tell us that we are all missing the point of the book. That it documents an incredibly important time in history as technology was replacing beasts of burden, small animal veterinay medicine was proving important, and antibiotics were changing the face of how vets treated animals. 10 girls, laughing at my husband's tirade and one dog looking all over for his master.

An hour later he calls back, asks to go on speakerphone again and compared the book to an Orson Welles film and tells us he is angry with us for only judging a novel on its merits. Finally he ends with, "Kick everybody out and call me back. I miss you."
