Too Much Ennui, Boys
Posted by TFG on December 14th, 2007
Dang - I got the dreaded ‘You still alive?’ callout in the comments.
Just busy, folks. Covered up in all manner of crap, so not particularly inspired. The most inspiring thing I can think of that’s happened lately is old Fred Thompson refusing to do a hand-puppet game for the editrix in Iowa. That’s faintly sad, don’t you think?
I’ve been on the road a lot, too. I-35 is grinding me down, and I’ve got at least one more truck trip before the end of the year.
Some good news…I made the monthly strip-club free-roll Tournament of Champeens. Big whoop - the payout for the winner is far less than I spend on booze playing in the freezeouts to get there. But when you’ve got the poker jones, any poker will do. At least until I find a solid cash game somewhere local.
Outside of that, it’s busy-bee-busy-bee with dang few chances to look up. Or reasons to, for that matter.

Busy is good, but take some time to smell the misteltoe this Christmas. By the way, what’s your choice of, uh, flavoring for egg nog?

- 10 parts Kentucky bourbon
- 0 parts eggnog
Mix, let stand for 5 seconds, serve neat, over ice, or with a splash of tap water.
(Eggnog might be too strong in this mix for some…cut back for personal tastes.)

Sounds like you need some homemade egg nog to get that ratio down to maybe 1-1. Stay away from the store bought pasteurized stuff. (Of course, while I typed that I realized that you already are.)

Homemade egg nog is best. The storebought kind is 80 percent corn syrup. Not that it ain’t tasty.

I used to get boiled custard too, but those days are long gone now…
