Operation Slow Knit

Hey all, its Erin blogging for Eric (sorry to freak you out Scott).
Eric, Alexis and I volunteered for Operation Rednose last night and we had quite the time! Arriving on the scene I was greeted with a large insulated box of Gingerbread latte’s from Starbucks, now I am a dedicated member of the Rednose team, 5 cups later. Eric piled back cookies every time I turned around and Alexis was immediately hit on by one of the Captains! I told her she should seriously think about, he’s tall, dark and handsome. So we proceeded to sit down to a game of “neuf” aka “nine” which Eric coached us on; he says we’d never be able to keep up with the card sharks at RMC! So as it turns out we had to drive drunken people around, it really interrupted our flow of cards. Our riders were all very good and we made many trips to the Cat Woods area!! I got to drive the intoxicated people’s car, Eric was the “Escort Driver” and Alexis got stuck with all the paper work, being the “Navigator”. She did a great job. We got to wear lovely red vests which emphasized our cougar like physiques We met some unforgettable people last night like “Alexi’s” boyfriend, the guy who Eric told us to “give him a break, maybe that’s what you look like after a couple drinks” and last but not least the “slow knitter”. We had a great time for a great cause. We are scheduled for Dec 17th and hopefully the event won’t be called “Operation Laid Prevention” for Alexis’ sake!
