absinthe rend fou
Interesting day yesterday!
First, I had an impressive come-from-behind miracle victory at the horseshoe pit. Francis had ostensibly won the game with 15 points. It was my turn to throw, and with only 11 points, things were looking grim. Amazingly, I threw a ringer on my first toss, and that gave me hope. I buckled down and threw two more points, finishing with 16. Francis was pissed.
Next — yet another reorg at work. I’m pretty happy about this one, though. I’m working for a different manager and will probably get more interesting assignments as well.
Third — I was rear ended. That sucked, although it sucked much worse for the girl who hit me. Both her airbags deployed (releasing a noxious stinky gas), and her front end was wrecked. The hitch attached to my van absorbed most of the force, which is good, although my frame was bent, which is bad.
Finally — I drank absinthe last night. Yikes — that stuff packs quite the punch, although the second shot didn’t hurt as much as the first. Apparently, we didn’t quite drink it the way one is “supposed” to. Oh well. Anyhow, I didn’t feel any hightened sense of clarity. Here are some links to absinthe.
