I didn't get back before the 21st, but glad to know we are all still here. What a colorful cast of characters and an amusing story. I don't often laugh aloud as I'm reading. You have a wonderful sense of humor that adds flavor to your writing.

Well, we're still here (at least in body anyway). I guess the Mayans were off a bit on their calculations. Like we say in Texas, 'oilwell' it gave me a chance to make up a little yarn about the event. And who knows, maybe the gang at the Cricket will make a return...you never know.

Thanks for all who read and commented, you are the best!

Well written story. I just finished reading it at 10:35pm. 12/20/12. Now I have to wait another hour and a half to see what happens. So the Mayans were off by twenty-one minutes, huh?

And I remember a few bars like that in my time. Good description, good detail.

Well, this was a surprise. It started off playful and ended just right. The bit about the scale was expected, but still funny.
But I think it was all well put together. I didn't notice any mistakes either, so it was a smooth read (besides some of the language).

Well done.

Great job!
Keep writing!

the laughs - absolutely great ending.

Words cannot describe how long I laughed when I read the first page. The uncle, the aunt and the bathroom scale. It was all just too much for my funny bone to handle. I think I almost broke it.
And your description of "Hoss" was just brilliant. He's such a character.
Your descriptions of the other people who frequent the Cricket are amazingly original as well. Most stories tend to opt for the easy way out and just homogenize the tipsy patrons and typical drunks, but it was endearing that you decided to give back stories and little descriptions of the people in conjunction to Hoss and his bar.
And the ending was amazing as well. I can't find anything wrong with this story except that I would have liked it to be longer. But at the same time, I like how it's condensed and how you decided to conclude.
Overall, this was an amazing story.

I love your style and easy flow. Thanks for an entertaining read.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens next Friday...you never know about those crazy Mayans.

Well, it didn't happen after all....but your story was terrific. Have messaged you with some boo boo fixes.

Well done, Glen.
