Another (much briefer) lapse in posting, this time because of a combination very busy week and sorta sick me. I'm about halfway through my second bottle of Dayquil (the convenience store in BG doesn't have gelcaps, so I'm stuck with a not-quite-orange-y taste in my mouth.
The Wife, The Dog, and myself got to go up to jesusfarmbeer country for a wedding last weekend - the wedding including 4 different square dances, the groom driving the bride around on a tractor, in a circle, inside the reception hall. Plus, there were three different kinds of Old Milwaukee served at the bar. In cans.
The highlight for me (aside from freezing my royal rastafarian ney-neys off in the 1 degree weather) was forgetting to bring my dress pants with me from Dayton. Now, normally, my suit coat and pants are permanently kept in a garment bag in the closet, since I only wear them to weddings and funerals. Somehow, the pants escaped the garment bag, and are missing (the police say I need to wait 72 hours before declaring them legally dead, so I just sent out an amber alert).
So that leaves me, 45 minutes before the wedding, 2 hours from home, wearing a dress shirt, coat, nices shoes...and no pants. Luckily, the only formalwear store in the county stays open until 3pm, so I sped over there, bought the cheapest black pants I could find in my size (my obese and gangly stature is not as rare up there, praise allah), got the lady working there to hem them, and walked out of the store with my new pair of backup dress pants. So, yeah...
As I prep for the San Fran PCA conference in March, I'm finding several other folks at BG who are interested in comics, which is always good. Now I just have to sit down and write the damn presentation...
