Odd....how men plan and host an event

The Do was lovely.It was an event planned by Organic Dude and his bud Pat; a delish Valentines dinner for the Gyro ladies and included chocolate and red roses. I enjoyed the evening almost as much as I enjoyed watching the men plan the event...no I lie the watching was the best part.One month ago my Gyro was asked if he would host the Valentine Ladies Evening (a Gyro never says no) and he, wise man that he is wanted to share the joy read possible knocks with his good buddy, Pat. Pat agreed then promptly left for a 3 week stay in sunny California. OD found a venue,discussed cost, got a head count for numbers attending, bought chocolate, red jelly beans, and an assortment of lotions and soaps for giveaways for the ladies. Pat returned arranged the menu and finalized the cost and numbers. That done, the dust settled until 45 minutes before we were to be at the dinner. Then the real fun began..................
1. the hunt for the bow tie
2. Finding the right red shirt
3. Reminder to bring name pins
4. Finding and wrapping the 8 crystal candy dishes
5. Finding a basket for the lotions
6. Finding a red scarf for inside said basket
7. Finding the chocolate
8. finding the camera and phoning for back up camera
9. Calling to arrange door prize
10. Finding bag big enough to carry the above

Forgotten....name tags and tickets......be aware sweating, swearing and sorrys happened before all the Valentine love started.
