"And the hoooome of the braaaave!"

I learned four things after a great wine and cheese karaoke party this weekend:

1. "The Star-Spangled Banner" is a surprisingly awesome karaoke song, especially if someone adds amazing flyby sound effects.
   
2. If the party also includes a camera, a tripod and a bucket of props, there will be photographic evidence that you thoroughly enjoyed the party.
3. I picked a good man to live life with; not everyone can pull off a rat tail so well.
4. I can rock my little black dress and a swimming mask. Also? My black dress and an eyepatch.
   

"Mmmmm, the rat tail."
