Man Card Member, No. 404693

The new member of the Man Card Membership is Molly's cousin Jon. For years the guy has dutifully driven his fiance from Kentucky to DC in order (usually) to haul furniture either to or from the house based on the needs of my mother-in-law. It's a yeoman's effort he puts in, but on this particular trip he went beyond the call of duty.

The man built us a deer fence for our garden which for the last two years has been pummeled by those damn deer. It may look crude in construction, but it works and we didn't have to use concertina wire or land mines to keep bambi and his friends away. The wife was firmly in favor of the concertina wire and land mines, by the way. It took a couple serious talks to get her off that ledge. She was ready for blood.

Anyway, Jon (with noble assists from the wife and his fiance Claire) did all of this while I was 25 miles away golfing. It was 100 degrees outside, which meant I was suffering as well (even if it was on the putting green). I say he earned his place in the Man Card Club. Well done, sir, and welcome to the club. Hope the pizza and beer was enough of a payment for your services.
