I was able to lurch off and do the book reading last night.
Well, I'm glad you made it, and the reading went well.
OTOH, many of history's best authors and editors were chronic vomiters, so you could have worked that to your advantage....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, you guys, can I wear my (platinum) engagement ring in salt water? I'm gonna do lots of ocean swimming this week.
While the platinum and diamonds would be safe, the emeralds would not.
Best to leave it at home in a safe or something.

OTOH, a diamond ring is a good defense against glass sharks.

Booker T. Washington, at one time one of the nation's most prolific speakers, threw up before every speech. (What are you looking at? His autobiography is a great book. My mind insist on holding on to the oddest of facts.)
Sorry about the food poisoning, Hec. The only thing worse than being sick is being sick away from home.

It was a great fear of James Dean's, as well, I understand. And, no, don't know how I know.

Oatmeal was had. Brunch conversation was fun. My stomach is sore but behaving. We're packing up at Lee's, and off to see my friend Matthew, his wife and baby. Then over to MM & Aimee and Emeline. Then back on the road. Oof. Driving driving driving then work tomorrow.

Glad you're feeling better, Hec! Oatmeal is a good thing, it's what's for breakfast (can you tell I had mine this morning?) And you get to see the Royal Miracleborns, lucky you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Poor Hec's tummy. Have ginger ale.
I forgot to share the hideous outfit I saw last night at the wine tasting! I saw this woman from the side, wearing black satin pants (cut like jeans, not flowy pants) that were on the wrong side of tight, with stiletto heels and some sort of black shirt that I disremember. What really put it over the top, though, was the belt, which was a double strand of big fake pearls the size of martini olives. I elbowed my mom to point out the horrible outfit, which we had been doing all night.
The woman turns to walk our way, so we get a full frontal view -- the belt, the lovely double-stranded fake-pearl belt, had this as its belt buckle.
It's like a pimp cup you can wear!
Mom and I managed to not laugh our asses off until after the woman got past us.
