Thursday #299- A resolute gathering?

[pomtzu]

Hey Richard - pour me a good stiff drink please - I need it. So far it's been a crappy start to 2009.

And with drink in hand - I'd like to make a toast to Barney...

It's been a pleasure knowing you Barney Boy - I just wish you could have stayed around here longer. But there must be some great plans for you at RB that we don't know about, so Godspeed to you. Have a safe journey - there will be so many candles lit for you from all corners of the earth to light the way for you. Take a long deserved rest when you arrive at The Bridge, and then run and play and be healthy again. We'll all get together one day and have one heck of a party. Cheers!!!

It's funny, we called them grinders growing up, but I didn't know anyone outside of our area did they don't even call 'em that here, just 40+ miles away!

And, as this is Thursdays where food has no allergens or calories, I'll have a good old-fashioned grinder please, with pepperoni and ham and cheese and lettuce and tomato and pickles and onions and hot peppers ... please?

(I promise I'll share the good bits with Lady ...)

Today we had slush - shoveling snow is far preferable to pushing slush, Richard, your sunshine certainly didn't make it this far!

So a good grinder and a mug of tea, please!

Not that things were s bit slick this morning, but I pulled into the driveway at about 5MPH, slid about 50 feet, turned the truck sideways to avoid hitting the two cars in the driveway, backed up, got it straightened out, put it in park, went to get out, and the truck slid about 2 feet......from a dead stop!

Then I dropped my cell phone, and it proceeded to slide about 15 feet, stopping under my car. Knelt down to get it, slipped, and twisted my back.

I'll take a large Irish and a side of flexoril, please!

Freezing rain last night and slush today. I'm already in my warm fuzzies, so I think I need a repeat of last Thursday's hot chocolate w/a big marshmallow in it. A sub w/jalapenos and bacon sounds reeeeaaally good right now. I'll drink a toast to Barney Boy, the sweetest little face ever.
