Last week I wove a web of deception so thick you could've snagged a puma in it.

I threw a surprise party Friday for Mitch's 49th birthday.

Mitch is the kind of guy who notices everything. Move the mustard in the fridge and he'll see it. Give him a present to unwrap and he'll guess what it is. It was the ultimate challenge. Years in the making.

The man was completely stumped. Gobsmacked. Sent into a state of shock.

His entire immediate family flew in. Friends colluded. And a good time was had by all.

Makes me think I could smuggle more yarn into the house!
