What I Learned This Weekend

This weekend was a learning experience for me.

I learned that one-year old boxers make great dancing partners.

I learned that those same boxers go crazy when you do a cracked-out air guitar.

I learned that there's nothing funnier or more disturbing than genetic sexual attraction syndrome, (or the grandmother and grandson who fell in love and are now expecting a child).

I learned that Mitch remains an old crank who isn't yet wholly cool with Fletcher. 

I learned that the weather can be crappy, and I can still have a magnificent weekend while in the company of good friends and cute dogs.

As you can probably tell, we had a marvelous weekend up at la casa de Hugh and Cassie.  We ate too much, drank too much, and laughed until it hurt.  How much longer until our next visit?

I also learned how to make a new favorite cocktail and dishes, but if you want to hear more about those you'll have to read about them on Cassie's new blog, White Hot Inspiration.

One last thing I learned: shallow bowls of beer do, indeed, make effective slug traps.  I thought better of showing you that picture.
