monshu decided we needed to do something to take the chill off our place so before supper I fired up the hearth for the first time this fall. It was more trouble than I'd anticipated; I hope that was just a lack of gas in the tubing rather than early signs of failures. (We just replaced our kitchen faucet to the tune of $360 so I'm not anxious to have another workman in the house just yet.) After watching a frustrating loss to the Nationals (the Cardinals started their 8th inning with no outs and the bases loaded and still managed not to drive in a single run), I showered, shaved, donned a robe, and shared a cocktail with the GWO in the front room.
I would've turned the fire on last night for the benefit of my cocktail guests except there weren't any. Well there was one. Everyone else was either out of town, indisposed, or just blew me off without explanation. There was also a competing bear event at SoFo, so Touché was less populated than usual, at least with people I knew, but as compensation my one guest did introduce me to some interesting guys before plunging into the back room. I might just end up taking a hiatus for a while, depending on how things go next month.
