Cheers, baby.

To dust.

Sorry to hear the news, Geekster. They say misery loves company, but on the other hand, they say a lot of stupid shit. Know that we're thinking about you...

I'll take whatever's handy. And I'll keep the HO-HO-HOs down to a minimum.

ho-ho-ho

MISS Love! I expect a full report on tonight's performance...

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 11:31 pm

Thanks, Sensei.

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 11:33 pm

Um, Geekster? The drink? You were gonna pour what for Sensei?

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 11:35 pm

Glayva ... it is almost like Drambuie ... but a little lighter.

Here, have one.

*serves Sensei a Glayva over crushed ice*

To dust

To the dust.

* drains glass and SLAMS it back down on the bar *

Uh, was I supposed to sip that? I better have another. This time I'll nurse it a little... Sorry.

I guess I need to go looking for a place that will allow me to have my kids on alternating weeks. I wish housing wasn't so expensive here but it is probably one of the most expensive places in the country.

I lived in Sunnyvale for about a year during the first rush - 1983/84. My bosses house doubled in 9 freakin' months. I came home to Seattle.

I'll have another.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 11:54 pm

Here ya go. Yeah, it is SICK here ... I live in a neighborhood that was built in about 1960 ... a baby boom tract home ... house around the corner (3br) just went for 1.1 million. It is really sad. It isn't like these are mansions, they are 1960's ranch homes.

Ah, Geekster... I missed it if you told us.

Are you going through some relationship stuff? The big D?

If that's the case I oughta buy *you* a drink.

Smooches unto you.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:05 am

Yeah, Lydia, that is about the extent of it, except we never went through the big *M* first. Been together for 9 years and have 2 kids together (3 total). But it looks like the end of the road is upon us. I want to do what is right for everyone but damn, I had hoped we could keep this thing going. Just really disappointed I guess. And I really don't want the kid to feel let down.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:06 am

make that kidS.

Lydia Love · Post by **Lydia Love** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:08 am

Oh, that's gotta suck hard. Sorry to hear it.

Doesn't matter if you didn't ever have the blessing of the state and whatall... it's still a big traumatic thing for all y'all.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:21 am

I'll leave the bottle of Glayva for he rest of you to enjoy, time for me to sleep. Night.

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:29 am

Goodnight, Geekster...

Well kiddies, Sensei is tendin' bar... You know what that means. It means you're all going to have to ah, service, Sensei if'n you want a drink. I know, I know, but I thought of it first.

Drinks for sex offer good for maybe an hour; gotta sleep a little before Seattle SantaCon.

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 1:25 am

I should have thought of this at noon today instead of at one in the freakin' morning. Offer closed, you tight-assed lurkers...

BAR CLOSED.

[giggles skates in wearing her sequined silver and red high school drill team uniform, grabs a bottle on one pass behind the bar and pours into her mug, replaces on the next pass, does a little spin, and back skates out of hte bar]

CoworkerLurker · Post by **CoworkerLurker** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 7:33 am

I'm just gonna sit and contemplate that mug-filling skating visit.

No need to drink anything for a while...

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 10:10 am

[giggles skates backwards into the bar still in sequins, grabs a bottle and chugs for a second, makes a horrible face and jumps onto the bar......skates down the length squatted on one foot, the other straight out front.......]

woo hooo!

[reaches the end of hte bar, airplanes her arms, and crashes in a tangle of legs and sparkles......jumps up, dusts off, and skates on......]

ta da!

Today is one of the days I waited all year for when we were kids. The weekend we would go out and get our Christmas tree. The kids are all excited. And slowly over the next couple of weeks the space under it will accumulate gifts that they will try to (probably with some success) peek into.

They still believe in Santa ... but my 6yo told me the other day that she knows that Daddy is really Santa ... that I dress up in a Santa Suit and then come down the chimney and put the presents under the tree. And she said that with the biggest two-front-teeth-missing grin.

I kindof dreaded Christmas until this year. This year it will be cherished.

[giggles appears as a one-woman space-cleaner-upper-holiday-bedecking whirlwind and plows thru the bar, a tazmanian devil of dust, broom handles, silver and red sequins, roller skates, and twinkling lights, leaving a swath of clean and shining adn twinkling in her wake, with strands of multicolored lights tangled all around]
