Did the Butler Do It?

Tonight I did something that I've wanted to do for a long time. I went on a Mystery Dinner Cruise at the invitation of a friend. I wasn't sure what to expect although I laughed at how EVERYONE was suspect from the moment we stepped foot on the boat. I also found it interesting as folks were interrogating me as a "potential" suspect. One of the questions that stuck out most was, "What do you do for a living?" It's funny that WHENEVER I am asked that question, not just this evening, but ANYTIME I am asked, I never say what my ACTUAL profession is. I always say that I am a WRITER. Really, I do. That answer just seems to be the most natural for me, and the word "writer" just rolls right off my tongue.

So tonight I was a writer.

To one person, I said that I was a writer of a children's publication. To another, I was a writer of erotic fiction. Crazy, ain't it!?! Guess you could say that I covered the spectrum with those two audiences.

Anyhoo...the night progressed, the clues kept coming, and the guy who seemed "too obvious" to be the one, actually was. He was creepy! But aside from being creepy, by the end of the cruise, the clues pointed directly to him. And yours truly, along with the two folks who were with me, guessed correctly.

He wasn't sooo obvious that we didn't have other suspects in mind, because we had a few other folks we were watching too...but because of the clues, we knew we had our guy.

All in all, it was a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who's interested in going.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever been to a mystery dinner cruise? If so, did you guess "Whodunnit?"

Talk to me!

Til next time...
