Let's Get This Show On the Road
OK, after a lengthy absence, here's the first post for 2006.
Christmas: highlight: totally ace present; a small torch that you clip to your ear. Unfortunately it makes it difficult to hear what people are saying but it does make it easier to see (at night, anyway) so lip reading is always an option. Lowlight: dinner with aged AND DEAF relatives. So many, many non-sequiturs.
New Year: nothing to report.
Also we got a new rug. Crazy times or what? They say you set the theme for the new year by what you do in the first few days, so I guess we'll be buying a lot of rugs in 2006. Could be worse, I guess. It was discounted from $1000 to $500 and then to $200 for ONE DAY ONLY. Two things: has anyone ever paid full price for a rug? And why is it only rug shops that do this? Why don't you ever see ads that go "normally you'd pay $1 000 000 for this Ferrari, but for ONE DAY ONLY, out it goes for $200 000!". New Year's Resolution: learn more about the peculiarities of the rug trade.
