Let’s Get This Pahty Stahted. Right?

Last Saturday, the Wife, Mother-in-Law, and I hosted a holiday dinner soiree at the Sutton abode. Good times were had by all.

A few notes/highlights:

  • The slate tile was a big hit. It even survived a couple drunken games of darts.
  • The menu was primarily Italian-style fare. We did have crab rolls in split-top hot dog rolls that we’d had shipped from Boston — they were a big hit.
  • We made waaaaaaaaay too much food. Should have forced people to take doggie bags.
  • I doubt anyone else even noticed, but I felt the music mix was spot on.
  • We had, at one point, three Asians in our house. In Colorado, this is actually worth pointing out. Sadly, though, that was the (almost) full extent of our ethnic diversity.
  • I’m actually impressed with how long it took the crowd to get into “Hey! What’s this?!” mode at our bar/liquor collection. Absinthe and Japanese Whiskey were the most exotic samples that were poured.

If you didn’t get invited and think you should have been, I apologize deeply.

Don’t take it personally, though, OK? Good. ;)

Monkeys Are Awesome(ly Bad)

By way of kinyahbrutha: Court Reprimands New Delhi Over Monkeys

As forest cover around New Delhi has shrunk, the city has struggled with a growing simian population. Government buildings, temples and many residential neighborhoods are overrun by hundreds of Rhesus macaques. The animals will occasionally snatch food from unsuspecting passers-by and even bite them.

And by way of Dear Abby: Husband’s monkey business is sign marriage is in trouble

When Suzy wants to have sex and asks him to come to bed, her husband refuses and tells her, “I’d rather spend time with Jocko.”

Grocery snatching and home wrecking… Insidious little scamps, aren’t they?

More on the Floor

The hard work (thankfully) is done. The grout needs to cure a bit and then the whole thing needs to be sealed (and then we have to move all our crap back in there).

I love it (and still hate it for what it did to me).
