That Time Of Year Again

[Dean Romig]

You are a rare breed Mr. Spencer and from what I know about your family history, you come from a long line of Connecticut Yankee "rare breeds".

My hat's off to you sir!!

Yes, I am. I predate planned parenthood.

Aha! So you were a surprise! Just as we thought!! You surprise us too

[edgarspencer]

No, I wasn't a surprise. In fact, my grandfather asked for a grandson for his birthday, and my mother delivered (hehe) right to the day. It's just that they didn't have a test back then, so I wasn't a surprise, until I was actually born. My mother is the originator of the popular expression 'WTF?"

I'll bet it was the first time a doctor ever slapped the mother instead of the baby...

Well Mr Spencer.. every time you came back from collecting sap there you reaked of cheap perfume and your pockets were turned out with no money left to buy coffee! Just an observation of course... besides weren't you the one that told me it was?

I know you think your funny. Sad really. It isn't why we're here.

Bob, some guys carry a pocket refractometer that tells them the % of sugar. It's a bit more science. But in the end, you can't change a tree you've already tapped, so I just go with what the trees give me. It's just a hobby for me. For some, it's a competition and they have to call six times a day to tell me they just did what I did, 25 years ago.

Spence.. I actually asked you to tell that story as I thought it was a funny story...I guess I was the only one laughing. Sorry to bring such sadness

[edgarspencer]

You're way too young to be so forgetful. It was you who told me it was a whorehouse, not the other way round. If it doesn't happen between here, and the road, I don't know about it. All I saw at that place was 20 more maples. The place had been empty for a year. You said it was Jeff's uncle who told you. Hmmm, I wonder how he knew?
Now you've called me Spence, you've completely confused the lot of them. I have heretofore been known as Terry, Teggar, Eggar and Edgar, not to mention the unspoken names. Now, what can we do to mess up your name, Eddie?
For those who haven't figured it out yet, Eddie (aka Keith) is my Grasshopper in the syrup making business. We're working on getting the IHOP contract.

Is that sorta like the "fly in the ointment"?
