Gearing up for New Year's

[bjarvis]

The weather is decidedly unpleasant around the greater DC area currently. We've had a light rain all night and there's a dense fog enveloping the Maryland suburbs. Fortunately, rush hour is still unusually light thanks to the large numbers of commuters off on holidays. Alas, I'm not one of the vacationing throng.

The rain & fog are indicative of my current run of luck: it would figure that we'd have ugly weather on the one day when I absolutely must go out at lunchtime to put some gas in the car, visit the bank and handle some minor grocery shopping. Bloody typical.

Our co-trailer trash, jearbear65oh and his cute hubby David, will be arriving from Columbus, OH, this afternoon; I'll collect them at BWI some time around 5:40 PM, although I understand the weather isn't that great in Columbus either. I expect flight delays.

Tonight is the 5th Thursday of the month so the DC Lambda Squares will be dancing A2 & C1. I'm hoping to pop by for a couple of tips before taking Jerry & David out for dinner. If nothing else, I have a stack of flyers promoting otterpop58's upcoming C1 dance on Jan 20 (the club membership already knows well about his other calling gigs on Jan 21 & 22).

I believe Jerry & David will be touristy Friday, visiting the Smithsonian museums while I'm working. We're planning to rendez-vous for bear happy hour at Titans around 6:30-7 PM, then scoot out for dinner in the neighbourhood at our convenience. Since my car window hasn't been repaired yet, we'll use the minivan and hope that its windows don't get smashed in while we're downtown. :-^

'Tis true. And when one adds Fridley to the group, ear plugs are the order of the day. When they get started, I usually pick up David --literally-- and slink away quietly with him for some, ahem, quality time.

Fridley is a doll but he has no indoor voice. None.

And it gets worse after a few cocktails. Truly frightening, not to mention ear drum-shattering.

Ever met Fridley's mother? The nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

Woo woo! Quality time! Yes, as I recall, that *can* be had. :-D
