<p>I like the idea of squads, regiments, & battalions. Better than a gaggle of geese, which is what we get around here in lower Ohio. It doesn’t get THAT cold, there’s plenty of golf course grass & ponds, so some of them never leave!</p>
<p>Edit: I don’t think our geese are smart enough for the goose army flight formations. They seem pretty fat & happy, though.</p>
<p>Think I’ll sneak in a glass of wine before my 9:30 PM conference call…</p>
<p>To global business! (I think.)</p>
<p>Happy Day after the Election!</p>
<p>Here’s a toast to the winners, consolation to the losers, and joy to us all–the robocalls have stopped!</p>
<p>^^For real … I invite all to join me in raising my glass of white wine to my S on the occasion of his hosting his college sports radio show for the first time!</p>
<p>To footballsom! :)</p>
<p>I see that #1 team is the featured banner ad. Is that what you see?
They fly north to do battle with the Dogs this weekend.</p>
<p>footballmom–I’ll drink to that! :)</p>
<p>Cheers to all for the complete lack of robocalls tonight!!!
This round is on me. I am drinking a pinot noir.</p>
<p>The Alley is quiet and peaceful, just like the house. So good when they come home, so good when they go back. Cheers!</p>
<p>well said, Denise! bottoms up!</p>
<p>It’s too quiet at my house…went from 9 people sleeping there over the weekend to just me, as DH went out of town also. </p>
<p>I came here to find some company! Never mind about the drink…</p>
<p>Totally get it, mommusic. Didn’t have quite the houseful you did, but we had 21 for Thanksgiving, DS#2 and SIL here for several days, and now everyone, including DH, who is out of town, is gone… Too quiet…</p>
<p>It’s almost 5 o’clock on a Friday evening, where are all the sinners?</p>
<p><em>bursts through the swinging doors</em> Here’s one!</p>
<p>A round on me…S who is a 5th year senior (not by choice, or maybe by a combination of bad luck, illness, & a few bad choices) reports he turned in two big papers this afternoon. A successful semester for the reluctant writer! Exams next week won’t be a problem.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Drinks for everyone! Shaken, not stirred.
D is away, S is angry with me for saying no to going to alone (with 2 other 14 year olds) to a concert. Such is the life of the mean mom…time for a beverage, for sure.</p>
<p>I have always been one of those “mean moms” myself! Cheers :)</p>
<p>another one pushing through the doors</p>
<p>Just back from a business trip that defies description and which, if described would be too identifying. So:</p>
<p>CHEERS!!!</p>
<p>I’ll have a Dark ‘n’ Stormy:</p>
<p>2 oz Gosling’s Black Seal Rum (other spiced rum can work)
5 to 8 oz ginger beer - not ginger ale! (add more or less, to taste)
1 slice of lime</p>
<p>Pour rum into a tall glass over ice. Pour ginger beer over it. Squeeze in lime and drop slice in.</p>
<p>oh mafool-- you temptress!!</p>
<p>I didn’t get the job. Cuba libre with a side of pinot grigio, please.</p>
