Sunday

I really don't have a lot to add to the intelligence encyclopedia tonight, but I'll throw some stuff up against the wall to record the day.

The Winniferous and I have been bunk-mates for the weekend. Not exactly bunk-mates.  She stays in my kitchen at night.  But we're pretty much joined at the hip otherwise.  She's really kinda like a Las Vegas dog.  After two days and three nights, she needs to go home.

The Christmas party last night at Geneva was fun, but I struggled today with digestive issues that had to be related to the dinner.  The problem with holiday dinners is that the chefs feel the need to make statements on their prowesses.   Last night was no exception.  The lamb-chops/lobster-tail may have looked good on the menu, but when paired-up with foo-foo salad and an undefined appetizer, LtPC had a recipe for the day-after tummy rumblings.

The club also made the mistake of hiring a live band to drive the party-goers away from the dining room and back to the bar area.  They do this routinely.  People get done with dinner.  They're relaxing and doing their after-dinner drinks.  And the band fires up, and no one can hear anyone talk.  The migration to the bar is immediate.  I don't get it.  Who's on the party committee?

The boys managed to have a good time, none the less. Some fine wine, including a higher-higher end Louis Martini that Ron brought home from Napa last Summer.  One month to Scottsdale where these guys will be on the tee at Grayhawk!  (Geneva officially "pulled the pins" on the golf course Friday.  No more matches there until Spring.)

The NASCAR jacket got into immediate use with the change of a flat tire on Friday night.  My pal Cal and I were meeting friends in downtown Davenport around six and one of the gals got caught on a detour, the street narrowed, and she ran her Equinox over a curb and killed her tire and rim.  Cal and I were separately just a few blocks away, got there, and did a change to the donut in less than 15 minutes.  Not bad for a CPA and an MD in the rain.

The reports from C-town were fairly meager.  I'm assuming that a good time was had by all.  And 1 reports lots of snow in the TC. 

More here tomorrow.  Have a great week.
