Well, it's been an interesting 48 hours...

We were going to head up to Bergental Yule on Friday. We've considered the weather and made the "bag this" call. :(

Meanwhile, I had a wonderful birthday. Friends, good company, and good port. Woot!

Thursday night, Rorik and I did our "split the difference between our birthdays and go out" thing. We hit Annapolis for sushi followed by Irish Coffee and then good beer. You've probably heard of "fatty tuna" (toro). Well, consider fatty yellowtail. Mmmmm. Now consider salmon belly. Salmon flavored butter. And green tea ice cream!

Heros is a pretty neat bar in Annapolis (not the easiest to find, mind you) with several dozen beers on tap. I settled for Woodchuck Pear. Then I decided to be boring and have another. The barmaid asked if I liked Guinness, which led to Guinness floating on pear cider. Yummy...

Meanwhile, Dan had an ice hockey game earlier. Midway through, he fell as a result of a collision (imagine that!) The other guy fell, too, and somehow, his leg was subjected to a twisting force. He gave up on trying to get up Real Fast. It turns out that he has a spiral fracture of the shin bone. Oh boy...

In you, or your glass? 'Cause, well, Guiness being the less dense alcohol???

guinness on top; pear cider on bottom. Yes, it works out that way.
Alcohol is less dense than water...

Obviously, in the future, I need to go out for sushi with you guys.

Hippo belated birdies.

Danke...

I'm cool with hawt babes wanting to go out for sushi with me... :)

Of course, I don't get out for sushi very often, but...

Hope your son's leg heals well. Maybe he should check with our former baroness and her son -- was his leg fracture last March a spiral fracture, or just a compound fracture? Can't remember the medical stuff.

A spiral fracture just means the break is twisted around the bone in a spiral, rather than going straight across.

A compound fracture is serious shit — it means the broken end is sticking out through the skin!

"... which led to Guinness floating on pear cider....."

Oh. My. That's just... lovely. I'll have to propose that to Sigurd.

Whose leg got broken? Daniel's or the other kids?

Because they don't make any color that's darker? When grandson B broke his arm, he got a red cast.
