On Saturday October 27 our mate Ed Hoffman invited us to his bar in Winona for some early Halloween shenanagans. From Minneapolis we take the highway 61 of Dylan fame almost the whole way. A lovely drive.
This is Lake Pepin just outside of Lake City:The Birthplace of WaterSkiing.
After settling in we headed to Ed's bar where the pet baby Sylvia was being passed around. Ed got first dibs.
Then of course Melissa, Syl's mother.
...and yours truly couldn't pass up the chance.
Eva was our lovely barkeep.
I came upon this group of ladies indicating something but was at a loss of exactly what. Not all local customs were explained to me.
I joined all the folks in signing this one's belly before finding out it was all the potential fathers. This I didn't know until it was too late. I was signed on and held my breath for the drawing later on. The Lord smiled on me that night and I wasn't the dad. Whew.
It just isn't a Halloween if someone doesn't dress up as a pimp.
