But Craig was better than their normal singer (don&#8217;t tell him I said that.) Stayed out too late. Had 50% more beer than my doctor said I should have. (Three in four hours.) All in the name of fun. Always fun to see Craig sing and see Craig&#8217;s mom <del>heckling<\/del> supporting him.<\/p>\n<p>And I got my first paycheck.
