And all this happened before the Blue Moon

Bryan Adams said love cuts like a knife. I’m changing it to “cuts like a bottle cap.”
I was out of town earlier this week, and after a delicious Mediterranian dinner, I walked across the shopping complex to a little beer and wine store to pick up a nightcap to enjoy in the hotel room.
When using my farm-toughened hands to remove the cap from my Blue Moon didn’t work, I scanned the hotel room for a way to MacGyver a bottle opener. Turns out I’m more MacGruber than MacGyver. Here’s a hint, your belt buckle is not an adequate subsitute for a bottle opener.
But this itty-bitty Ben & Jerry’s made it feel much better.
Don’t forget to enter my contest today by noon! Win David Sedaris’s newest book.
Thank goodness I had that second glass of wine…

Because it’s numbing the pain right now.
See, I just finished dinner with a coworker in Pittsburgh. The hotel shuttle dropped me off in front of one of the finer hotels in town. I walked toward the rotating front door and the next thing I know, I’m sprawled on my stomach in front of three fellow guests and a valet. Turns out there’s a curb between the circular driveway and the rotating front door.
Which I might have seen had I not had the second glass of wine.
I’m enroute to my college’s homecoming shindig during which Autumn Leaf Festival morphs into Annual Liquor Festival. More tales of bodily injury may or may not follow.
