Does Hilarity Ensue?

What do you get when you mix seven gay men with one of their families for the first time? Does hilarity ensue?

Somehow, the Sunday Dinner™ gang ended up over at Tom’s () house last night to meet his family. Dad (Tom, Jr.) was a nice guy, for a Republican, and Mom (Debbie), just came into the kitchen and with , whipped up a yummy dinner. The brothers, Jim and Dave (I think those are their names), were much more reserved, and I think perhaps shocked, at finding the house full of bears, all engaged in that hypersonic, multithreaded free-ranging conversation that gay men are wont to do.

I told my story about life on a aircraft carrier and what an aircraft take-off is like, and how that trains one to sleep through anything. That story seemed to go over well. Others had interesting tidbits to share, too.

had a dessert date for Alan W.’s birthday, and wanted to get home, so the three of us headed out early, back across the bay to Frank-baby.

Overall, it was a better evening than I had orignally anticipated.
