rob's in London!
I am still trapped in Orlando for a miserable work conference, but I noticed from a tweet this morning that our diminutive founder has completed his travel across the pond. He sent me this pic just after landing...
rob...celebrate your recent victories this evening...get yourself a glass of Midleton pre or post dinner tonight or tomorrow. put in on my tab. and if that is not possible, spend the money at the duty free in heathrow and get a bottle. it's pricey but it'll last ya.
over/under on when rob passed out this evening? i'll say 7:00 his time unless he had hob-knobbing to do, at which i'd guess he's holding his eyelids open with his tiny little paws.
Why is anybody anywhere? I'm celebrating my birthday by having a beer at a Chili's at Bush Airport in Houston before I fly home. With a layover. Good times.
Watching my first Tribe basketball game of the year on the telly. (Like rob, telly is short for television in England.) W&M down 11 to Liberty in the first half. Feels like home.
Tribe down 38-23 at half. To Liberty. "The largest Christian university in the world." The TV ad for Liberty boasts "world-class speakers" as they show a clip of Donald Trump at the podium. Honestly, people.
Thanks dudes. My night has been fun in a pathetic way. Drowning my sorrows in a bag of peppered jerky while watching bad MNF at an airport bar cranking Kiss. I have a big stain on my shirt b/c my fat face dropped some chewed up Pringles out when I tried to stuff more into my face too quickly.
for the ruggers in our audience, the inn at which i'm staying has a little shrine to several lions tours of south africa in the late 80s. i'm efforting an explanation.
Is that his money clip in his hands?

ReplyDeleteThey didn't have an orange for my Blue Moon, but there's no charge for all the sadness you want to soak up. And there's TONS of it here.
ReplyDeleteIs the waitress practicing politics, as the businessmen slowly get stoned?
ReplyDeleteWas rob's marathon in Merry Olde? If so, they whole "bloody nipples" thing takes on a different dimension.
ReplyDeleteThe waitress was practicing obesity, while the businessmen slowly got drunk on nachos.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday TR!

ReplyDeleteI am not an adultery threat right now.
For those that care, the Tribe came back and beat Liberty, 71-59. An unbelievable result, speaking of the university that teaches creationism.
