Christmas, 1995. Or thereabouts. Five couples go out for a holiday dinner. The men have been together for years, as far back as high school for 3, and two college additions. The spouses/girlfriends got the guys in a package deal. After drinks, a great meal (Inn at Chester?), wine and more drinks, discussion wandered over to getting away as a group, maybe to Bermuda. The ladies suggested this, probably Claire, on the premise that the guys couldn't even plan a group 40th birthday memorial, which was already 3 years overdue. (We're still working on it...)
The idea was intriguing (especially after all the wine), but Bermuda seemed aggressive for a first try. So, the task was assigned to consider an alternate, more accessible site. Nobody really believed the idea would go much further than that dinner table. After all, remember the 40th birthday party?
Then an email arrived from Baz to Z suggesting a look-see at a house on Cape Cod.
