Ignoring the challenges of ever bringing it back, I'm glad we had Xavier football when I went.
Was a great way to spend a Saturday with a date from OLC or the Mount.
Post-game at Dana's. Sleep late Sunday...back to Dana's Sunday afternoon to dance on the tables upstairs.

Good times.

The next time we run into each other at Dana‘s, I will buy you drinks for the rest of the day if you promise to get up on a table and dance again! That’s something that I would like to see.

Be sure to post the date and time here! That should be quality entertainment!

I mentioned it once to BJ, reminiscing.
He said "fuggetaboutit."

A couple of extra shots of schnapps, and a small bribe to BJ, and we will set Paul up to dance on the hood of his car in the parking lot.

I didn't realize that it would bring in a hoard of thirsty customers.

I think you have a serious Pay-Per-View opportunity here! Where do I sign up?!?

And our wedding day was the same date 50 years ago.
Xavier beat Toledo, where my wife’s brother went.
Not only did I gain a bride, I also gained $100.
A pretty, pretty good day.

$100 50 years ago was a chunk of change! And Happy 50th!

Well then…..Happy 50th Anniversary! A very respectable number! She must be a saint.

I invited the Quantico Marines Band to a party at our place after we won the game. Little did I know that they would all show up. I proposed to my wife on a coffee table which gave way and I fell on the floor throwing the ring across the room. 55 yrs. Going good so far.

The Marine Silent Drill team was the best halftime entertainment.

BJ could probably get Beacon Orthopedics to sponsor the whole thing.

[waggy]

Bud Light maybe.

They’d probably be doing some surgery on Paul after he finishes jumping up on the table and dancing, and maybe falling off the table!

This old time table dancing with an OLC lass is definitely a thing of the past.
Great memories though. Aaaah to be young again.
