Up too late
We met up with a friend yesterday evening (Tuesday) and headed over to our local Drinking Liberally weekly meeting. No celebrities were scheduled to be there, just a core of the folks who conduct a podcast. The atmosphere was convivial, with several of us newcomers trying to become better informed about local politics. The current focus appeared to be on gathering more information about Dave Reichert, on whose behalf Cheney was lurking about here recently. Reichert's being challenged by a political newcomer, Darcy Burner, a thirty-something who works for Microsoft. I wish her well.
Lovely day in which to be tired. The general balminess of the air kept me buoyed up, enough to go route setting and up a few routes. My oldest climbing partner was just coming in as I was leaving, and we talked about heading outside if it isn't raining.
A bit of a poem by Odysseas Elytis:
Fantastic truths perish slower. Rimbaud survived communism as Sappho's moon will survive the moon of Armstrong. Different computations are necessary.
The clock we face doesn't count hours but doles out imperishability and waste, in which we partake either way, as we partake of youth or age.

Not to mention The Strawberry Moon, or The Moon When The Geese Lay Eggs...
drinking, even conservatively, sounds wise. I found a new drink but haven't had it yet - dark rum, organic ginger beer, and a slice of lime. Sounds yummy. And would go well with Odysseas, me thinks.
Neil, is that what the upcoming full moon wil be called?
'spike - That sounds like a perfectly refreshing beverage! What is it called? Must be somehting like the Rasta Cooler...
(Some of the best ginger beer I've had has been Jamaican, or "Jamaican-style." Not really sweet, and nice and gingery.)
Ah-ha! Found it. It's called the Dark and Stormy. Don't ask me why. We are heading out for a dinner this eve and I'll see if the bartender has the propper ingredients and report back.
Blog on all
Hahahaha! "It was a dark and stormy beverage... a barkeep appeared on the horizon... a drunk howled at the moon..."
