playing catch up

As Mary has already mentioned we are way behind in our date blogs but rest assured we did not break-up. Thank you all for your many concerned emails asking how we are doing as a couple. We are now trying to catch up and the next couple entries are not in chronological order, all anal retentive readers please forgive us.

Some time ago Mary and I spent the afternoon at Barnes and Noble as I worked on homework and she did some light reading. As I remember the date was not yet planned at this point but with a little brainstorming it came together nicely. Mary decided we would have a drinks and game night. She went and picked up a couple books on bartending and after much thought and reflection decided that we would imbibe in the famous WooWoo and Michael Bolton*. Then as I continued my homework she ran over to Shopko and picked up Scene-It.

We eventually headed back to her place and ordered out from Sa Bai Thong. If you are at all a fan of Thai food then please for your sake head to one of their two locations or call for delivery. I don’t remember now what we had but I think we had Pad Thai and something spice. Memory loss sucks.

The rest of our time included taking turns making the aforementioned drinks and me trying to retain my manhood while enjoying a Michael Bolton. I am not always a big board game fan but Scene-It is fun for anyone who likes movies which is pretty much all but 4 people.

After going out to so many different restaurants and bars this date night was a nice change of pace and had the advantage of owning a new game when all was said and done.

* According to legend The Michael Bolton was created one fateful night when the incredible musical artist, Michael Bolton was out at a bar and approached the bartender and asked him to make a drink that reflected his talented and unique style. The bartended had a moment of inspiration and made an incredibly sweet and fruity drink to reflect the man. And that is how we came to have the Michael Bolton.
