Chapter Seventeen

Snow and Yams

“Tommy, do not be late, we’re counting on you,” Bruce said, his voice serious.

“I won’t, and I’ll bring the yams with me. Geesh, it’s not like I’m bringing the turkey.”

“The yams are just as important, I’m trusting you to make sure they arrive on time, and intact.” It was Wednesday night, and just like every year, we were packed. It was old-school night, and every person who was in town visiting had gone out tonight for dinner and a drink.

“Don’t worry, I have everything I need. I’ll cook it in the morning and bring it to your house while it’s nice and hot.”

“Don’t forget the marshmallows.”

“Dude, you have a serious issue with yams, has anyone ever told you that?”

“Nope, never.”

“I’m thinking that’s not true at all. Guess I’ll be having a little chat with John tomorrow. He can fill me in.”

Bruce laughed at that. Everyone was in a great mood, the holiday atmosphere was contagious, and with the great crowds and everyone tipping so well, none of us complained that we were slammed. After the last group left, Bruce raced after them and locked the door.

“Okay, everyone, great job, now let’s get this place cleaned up so we can go home and start our own holiday celebration.” It didn’t take us long. Everyone was so amped up and ready to leave, we were all motivated to make a fast and efficient end of the day. “That’s it, we’re good to go,” Bruce finally called out.

“See you tomorrow,” I said as I walked out.

“Don’t forget the yams,” Bruce called, and I smiled all the way to my car despite the rain and cold. I was happy, and when I went to bed that night, I fell right to sleep.
