raise that glass of wine!
Yesterday I raised a glass a wine to Viktor Yanukovych....eh? Somehow in the heat of conversation ole Viktor sneaked up on me and said "cheers to me!" and in flash of conversation.. the glasses were raised... all hail el Viktor! Now thats a name btw, Viktor! That goes well with all the Lord of Rings dvd's i've been watching lately, we need a good character named Viktor! Anyways, last night Mary and I met with her Improv friends and enjoyed a nice dinner at Bon Vie in Easton. We drank a fablous Lousi Vino'something that was quite good. In fact we drank about four bottles of it. Quite nice. Dinner was yummy as well. Afterwards we headed out thru the cold, damn cold lately btw, and back into the mall area of Easton to Funnybone to watch the Midwest Tool and Dye Improv group. It was a good show. Very funny, good improv. I really need to go to more shows like that.
The weekend holiday festivities went along fairly well though the weather sure messed me up in a few areas. On xmas eve I managed to pin the mini on an iceberg like shelf that got the front wheels off the ground. Luckily it just outside my apartment. I used a shovel, that didn't work. I made a spear, yes a broom handle duck taped to a kitchen knife. That worked for a bit to crack the evil ice. I used a seat cushion to save my knees as I crawled nearly under the car to carve out the ice. I used boiling water to melt away as much as I could as well. Eventually I cracked it, the ice gave way and the mini met the ground again. Typically the mini does pretty well with snow really, but the ice situation we have around here is nasty. I just about totalled the mini later in the day as i spun thru an intersection and dang near hit an SUV that just sat there and watched me come closer and closer to it. I got within 7inches of them. Yikes. I decided then and there and ya know. If I don't need to drive, I'm not gonna. I hear it will be in the 40's by thrusday. Hopefully by then the plowers will get back out on the road and finish the job they started before the ice arrived.
Twas a wonderful xmas. I wish all you floozies a happy holidays. May this week of work blow by quickly and may we all have a festive new year!
