i was just i.m.ing with a dear co-worker, let's call him bougalamoon. (that's farsi for 'turkey' - the 'n' is silent.) i shared the sad fact that the big guy was picked up by his boss in a big truck with chains, and taken off to work. so i am sitting, lonely, with the tv and cats keeping me company for the rest of the evening.

i made the comment that it was too bad that drinking alone was no fun - and bougalamoon said i wasn't alone - i was chatting, and so i had permission to get liquored! tell me it is so!

if others would like to weigh in on the situation, feel free to AIM me - semaphoria - and make sure you have a glass of wine on your end too.

in the same old news - we haven't reached above freezing, and after an hour of digging and pushing and chaining and ice chipping this afternoon, the big guy and i still couldn't get either car more than a foot and a half. so until we get some melting - maybe mid-day tomorrow - i am stuck.

on the upside we did make the trek to new seasons on foot - and so i am well stocked with goodies!
