A good day to live

[plural]

Today was an excellent day

I had an important business meeting
which went beautifully
we negotiated our way through some tough issues
and came to a meeting of the minds

which is always a happy moment

the particulars I will keep to myself
but I have a very good feeling about this venture
I suspect it will be quite profitable
not to mention give me something interesting to do with my time
for the forseeable future.

and
if that wasn't good enough
I came home to find a beautiful wooden box
waiting for me from budhaboy and his family
which his two young sons did a most marvelous job decorating

I almost didn't want to open it
as I already knew what was inside
but
I figured a day like to day required celebration
and
the delicious bourbon inside the box
was the perfect way to celebrate

while I'd much rather the opportunity
to celebrate with them in person
failing that
celebrating with their liquor
will do just fine.

well

it is a beautiful day
I have a glass of tasty bourbon in my hand
and
two hundred or so pages of numbers
to memorize by friday

so I'm going to sit out on my back porch
and get to it

love to you all

your plural

I'm glad it made it intact... I suspect that as usual I completely overengineered the thing.

It came through quite perfectly and indeed you did.

The timing was absolutely perfect as well.

The box and it contents were the perfect end to an excellent day.

Oh, and on another note, I'd like to hear your thoughts about the post I made just before this one.

cheers

I'll try to get to it tonight... I've got a whale of presentation to make tomrorrow.

Think nothing of it, brother, happy chanuka several months late. My only hope is that it lasts eight days... I'm thinking no, but maybe if you pace yourself?

I live in the land of bourbon. Woodford Reserve is about a 45 minute drive from my home among all the other bourbon distilleries.

I used to live in Louisville... We toured the maker's mark distillery once. I thought it was the damnest thing that the counties where they make that stuff are all dry.

I've come around to a way of thinking that makes me suspect that those counties aren't dry from an excess of moralizing but rather from basic common sense.

After all, if I started drinking and I was anywhere near a bourbon distillery, there just might not be any left to sell.

I can only imagine how different our lives would be today if I'd known that when I met you ;-p

Good luck on your presentation.

Indeed, and I will take it up with god, the parallels between this and the original hannukah miracle are just too good for him to pass up.
