Boom boom
I’m continually fascinated by people who answer the cellphone while they’re on the shitter. It just blows me away. Hey, can I put you down for a sec, I’ve got a double-wiper here.
If I were on the other end, I’d be a little irritated. I mean, your mind is clearly not on the conversation I’m having with you. There’s very, very few situations – basically life or death – where I’d interrupt my few minutes of solitude to talk with someone. a) it’s just not that important and b) that’s what voice mail is for.
Still getting over the cold. Just a stuffed and runny nose right now. It shouldn’t in any way affect my aerobic capacity tomorrow, right?. Who knows, I may immerse myself in a vat of Vicks Vapo-Rub.
What’s that? No, I’m not holding my breath, I just needed to pinch one off here. (I can have a lot of fun with this).
I caved in and went over to the Holiday Ale Fest yesterday for a couple tasters. Made the mistake of having Hair of the Dog Jim early on. With a cold, only the strong flavors were showing up. Felt like I had a mouthful of oak chips and chewing tobacco in my mouth for the next hour. I like the beer but it needs to be the last one you order for the day. I immediately regretted getting it.
