Bowling Party

We had a total blast tonight at league. Sure, we won 2 games and the wood for 5 points out of 7, and I rolled in the 590s, but that’s not it. We got completely pished with the other team, and then got totally silly. Somehow we got involved in something like comic competitive drinking? Not sure, but they were teasing us because our pints of Blue Moon beer had orange slices on the rim, so there were masculine shots of Jim Beam sent around as a counter offensive, followed by shots of something else, followed by ... I’m not sure what. Did you know that Southern Comfort and lime juice is a drink? Kind of odd, and margarita-like, but effective. I seem to recall lots of shrieking and laughter, and something about somebody sitting down in someone else’s wet spot which made everyone else just lose it to the giggles for several minutes. So we had at least too much fun.

Went to the attached restaurant afterwards and had a big Reuben sandwich with fries and a couple cups of coffee, so the booze had plenty of time to burn off and get absorbed before we did any driving.  Pretty sure I went to bed soon after that. Memories seem to be a bit blurry.

One thing I do know, it’s 3:38am here, and I woke up fully dressed on the bed under a quilt. And ever so thirsty. And we had nothing to drink here, other than boring tap water and a bottle of her flavored seltzer stuff. Which has fizz, but really not much flavor. Or so I thought.

Fine. Time to MacGyver up my own soda then. I’d just read one of these “life hack” things this afternoon that said you can get more juice from a lemon if you cut it lengthwise, so I tried it. And then, since it’s 3am, I popped the seeds out and cut into the lemon fruit a whole bunch of times, running the knife tip just up to the skin. Oh yeah, I got the juice out all right. Poured it! So, juice of half a huge lemon into a glass with a pint of cold Adirondack Wildberry seltzer, add a heaping tablespoon of sugar. Stir. Drink. Crivens, this is nearly the real deal! Berry taste, citric acid punch, sugar, fizz. Pretty close; if I had a lime I’d be in business. Quite refreshing. Make myself up another pint and head back to bed. Smart Drew, he stops off at the bathroom, downs a couple of aspirin ahead of time, just in case.

Back to sleep.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
