Hammered

I drove up to Lake Carolina on Tuesday to have dinner with Addison. It rained all the way through Georgia. I even had to slow down to 50 MPH at one point it was raining so hard. Bummer!

I got to my sister's house around 4:30. I pounded on her back door. I honked my horn. I was even gonna use my cellphone, but I didn't get a signal. I need to find out what service the Mummy uses on 24. His phone works everywhere. This week it worked in a sewer. I expect to see the Verizon guy pop up and say, "Can you hear me now?"

Speaking of 24, I was really pissed about last week's episode. They rode an elevator down to the secret bunker under the White House and after getting off the elevator had to walk down steps. Where's the diversity awareness? The bunker is not handicap accessable. Haven't these dudes heard of the Americans With Disabilities Act?

Was that Terror Dad that I saw on Alias?

But I digress.

I finally had to give up and walk around to the front of the house and walk up those steps and ring the doorbell.

My sister let me in. I had a beer and took some drugs. Legal prescription type drugs.

I had some Stoly on the rocks before dinner. Addison showed up and told us about his new job and then we ate. I drank some wine. We finished dinner. I drank some Limoncello. I got hammered. I also had to ralph once. That was a surprise. I drink more than that on a Saturday night and I don't get sick then. I hope my sister didn't think that was a reflection on her dinner. It was a very good dinner.

I slept well. Got up the next morning, had a banana, drank a cup of coffee, drank a bottle of water, and hit the road.

Got back to GOC Central at 1:30. Read the paper. Took a nap. I don't feel like I got hammered. My feet don't hurt real bad like they normally do the next day.

It was nice seeing Addison again.

It was that fine Italian high octane, aka: Limoncello. That stuff gives a nice boost to the mowercycle and a good finish to deglazing a shrimp scampi. Beware of use on open flame or on open sea.

Nope it wasn't that. I usually drink grappa in the summer and that has more of a kick than limoncello.

'Twas a good dinner. I liked that cabbage/onion/pickle concoction.

Concerning 24: I immediately thought "That's some cellular phone, what with it working under the street, under multiple feet of rebar-reinforced concrete." Obviously I have to get my hands on one of those. If it can work in the sewer, it can work at your sister's house.

Grappa? Good Gravy Baby! Talk about high octane!?
