I put up some Christmas lights at my place, just a handful around my small tiny little fake christmas trees, and rope light randomly arrayed by the windows. It's festive. Went to a couple more bars this weekend. After Drumline, a pretty good flick, and dinner at Smith and Wollensky, a great steak place in Chicago, go figure, made it to Bar Celona for a drink with Leah and friends. After dinner Saturday at Piece where I got a handful of fake Piece Tattoos, one on my shoulder, but after dinner there with Russell, Sarah, Whit and King being seated by Raime and served by Carlo, I made it to Mystic Celt to meet Leah and friends post TFA shindig. So 3 bars, all in about 4 days. Impressive for me. I also managed to scarf down 11 Krispy Kremes for sustenance on Sunday, and managed to make the chewy chocolate chip cookies for the boys for poker. Oh, I also made it out to see some old old college friends at Bender's Shakespot Holiday Party on Friday, so a quick shout out to the Schizz. Good to see y'all again. This week I'm gonna try and make the rounds again, and see or catch up with people I haven't seen in a while before holiday break.
