But I don't wanna!

Condo association meeting tonight. We are going to tackle all manner of serious topics: what fee new owners should be charged when they move in (don't care); whether owners should be allowed to rent their units (no); and what to do about the windows. I don't know! I know this is an important and potentially expensive decision I am about to make. Replacing windows is costly and almost always has an impact on resale value.

But this is a subject I know nothing about. I resent having to make this decision. I wish this was being handled like our roof. I simply received a note in the mail one day, telling me how much I owed for my 1/24th of the new roof. Fine.

To make matters worse, I got a free pass to a sneak preview to Miami Vice tonight. It's tempting to blow off this condo association meeting and get reacquainted with Crockett and Tubbs. The siren song of a free movie, I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

But no, I shall act my age and go to the damn meeting. But I don't want to do it, and will be primed with beer before I get there.
