An interesting evening, to say the least.  Got out of work a bit later than I intended, but still managed to get out and relax.

Had some Clint-thoughts tonight... just really let a lot of things go and focused on my usual habits: meeting people, a single malt scotch and the Crypto-quip.

I don't know if any of you have ever done the crypto-quip, but it's fun; it's like Wheel of Fortune on ecstasy.  Essentially, they take a corny phrase and do a simple, single-letter substitution cypher.  The funny (or perhaps not so funny) part is the result is usually a terrible pun.  For example, tonight's answer was: "I wonder if the best nutritional supplement for a middle-schooler would be pre-teen protein."

... yeah... they're that great...

Then I did the crossword, and managed to finish it in 20 minutes.  What was funny was this cute gal named Emily down the bar doing the exact same one, though cursing up a storm about the fact that there was no part of a clue "that indicated an acronym." So, obviously, I had to help out.  She bought me a beer, then argued the validity of the answer "rancors" to the clue "enmities."  We had a quiet debate regarding the validity of pluralizing the words.  A quick look at dictionary.com via my phone, and I had won yet another beer.    After that, a delicious mocha before a quick trip to the Lava Room for a game of pool, just in time to see the end of the Dallas/Buffalo game, (incredible ending).

Now, though I'm tempted to post more about my thoughts, particularly about an odd, lone air-conditioner I'm always seeing, I've decided I have better things to do with the remainder of my evening.  The important thing is I kept my promise to blog more, (even though it's not as interesting as I'd hoped).  Keep your eyes peeled for tomorrow, however... I'm going to post this other thought I had after work and dinner with Peter and Simone.

As a post-script... I heard a song earlier today that really struck me.  Crazy enough, it was on my laptop, though I'd never heard it before.  It actually made me stop typing and listen... twice.  I looked up the lyrics. It's such a simple idea, and he plays it almost to a Jazz melody.  Even better... I have the live version.  LOL
