tonight megan and i made our way out to richmond - i know, me in richmond...- anyhow...megan and i were meeting floyd, janine, glen and denny out there for some dinner...more specifically, some hot pot. my dad - floyd and his gal-pal, janine, are off to mexico city tomorrow and then off to peru so my uncle, his brother - glen, and his wife denny, phoned me and asked if i wanted to have dinner with them...in richmond. sure, ok....megan and i were gonna watch the 'hawks game but dinner with the folks would be cool...
now, i had never had hot pot but was game...then, i wasn't. i know most of you have probably had it but for those who have not, it's kinda like fondue chinese style...and while that may sound ok, and it probably is...i found it too cacophonous. or something like that, i know that's the wrong word but...busy. too busy. all hands on deck, moving around putting stuff in the boiling liquid and raw this and that all over the place...like weird bubbling soup with no way of knowing how long stuff had been in the soup or what really was in the soup....i decided to just watch....
later, after our good byes, megan and i headed back to my place to give one of my neighbours his groceries - i had found a bag of groceries in the hall earlier in the day and had put a note up saying so and john, he of the lost groceries, called me and was happy to know his sausage and bacon had been found - and then we headed to la taqueria so i could get some dinner...megan had a dipped cone for her dessert.
ok...today was a big day...took out a dryer, put up a heavy mirror at storm salon - i hope it doesn't fall down, took some bottles to blair at ambleside brewing, saw some guys in kilts, dinner in richmond, dinner in vancouver...tomorrow, maybe cutting and baseball and moving of crap....
