Yep, still fighting lingering effects, but much better than I would have been if I'd stayed at the college-based event. Hobbling around campus (freezing rain), dorm food, dorm lighting (left my eyeshade at home...the room was bright enough at midnight to sort socks!), watching other people dance, answering the same goddamn questions over and over and over. "What did you do to your foot? Did it happen here? WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?"
Thanks for asking, And I have a special virtual surprise for you and MW, supposed to be released tomorrow.
Here she is. The local market around the corner from my house has the best wine section for miles. I talk to the manager there whenever I go in. He has given me perfect recommendations every visit. What a nice resource. Though, I note after finding that site that I was charged more than the list price. Oh well. Can't win them all and his knowledge is worth the fee.
He has selected about a dozen new wines for MW and I in the past few weeks and every one of them was exactly what I was hoping for.

Chet was a complex guy, more than most of us, methinks. But, yes he was worthy, too- he meant a lot in the early days of Cyburbia. RIP Chetster!

Happy New Year to everyone! With only an hour to go, MW and I are going to try to put SeaMonkey back to bed, finish off our glasses, and snuggle.
Good night to all! Stay safe and have fun!

Happy New Year everyone. Let's start 2013 with a great and positive attitude.
I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow.

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
Roads are starting to get rough again here in UNY. I-81 southbound to Cortland is down to ruts.
Had to take a break, because of a first date. I suck at dating to begin with, and first dates on days like this can make me even more anxious. I had exactly one beer; a Founders Stout.

Local fireworks stands are doing a booming (no pun intended) business. There must be thousands of dollars going up in the air and exploding. Can hardly wait until midnight when the real artillery comes out. Stay thirsty, my friends.
Ah yes, start the new year off with a bang.![]()
