Not a total disEaster

Posted on by

I spent most of Easter Sunday dealing with the after-effects of my overindulgence on Saturday night.

One of the contributors to my lack of discretion

But after a day of laziness, I found the strength to take Swan out for an Easter dinner. I chose one of my old favorites, Mangos, for our meal.

And the view on the table. We did the grilled pork chops again.
I also ordered a calamari appetizer, but it was served with the main course, so I guess that makes it a side dish.
Easter on the beach

We had a leisurely dinner and then lounged about, enjoying watching the the beach crowds.

The banana boat rides were very popular with the beachgoers yesterday

When the sun went down, we moved up the highway to another old haunt I rarely visit these days–Cheap Charlies. Treated my favorites Alma and Nerissa to a lady drink, Swan enjoyed a glass of wine, and I nursed a San Mig Zero.

And when things started looking like this, I knew it was time to head for home.
Not proud of these stats. I can and will do better!

On the other hand:

It is just a matter of keeping everything in balance.

So, I’ll add reducing consumption to my to-do list.

I’ll do better tomorrow!

Today is the day that honors fools like me. And in the spirit of the holiday, I posted this joke on my Facebook feed this morning:

REWARD! I got drunk last night and left my girlfriend at the bar—I can’t remember which one. If anyone finds her, please let me know. I have no idea who is going to fix me breakfast now.

Most people seemed to get it. One person asked how many girlfriends I have. I wondered where that came from until I re-read my post and caught the ambiguity of “I can’t remember which one.” I meant I can’t remember which bar. Oh well, the jokes on me!

Speaking of breakfast, here’s what Swan prepared for me this morning:

I could get used to this.

So, it is Easter Monday with the Hash. The main group will take a rented Jeepney to the starting point at the base of Easter Mountain. Us shortcutters who did the mountain climb on Wednesday will start in Alta Vista and pick up the second half of the trail for a hike along the Black Rock ridgeline. I haven’t done that for a while and I’m looking forward to seeing it again.

Well, technically I can “see” Black Rock from my patio…it’s been a while since I’ve hiked it.

And now it is time for a Quora Q&A:

Q: In the spirit of the “Festivus” season, I would like all of you to participate in the “airing of grievances”. What are your grievances?

A: My grievance is having no grievances. It is not fair that I have nothing to complain about!

I used to deny grievances for a living back when I worked in labor relations.

And here’s a fool’s attempt at humor:

I hate when that happens. “Here I sit, discomfited. Tried to fart, instead I shitted.”
Book ’em, Dano!

Alright, it’s time to get on with the only day on the calendar devoted to me. Look for the Hash update tomorrow.

  1. Most people seemed to get it. One person asked how many girlfriends I have. I wondered where that came from until I re-read my post and caught the ambiguity of “I can’t remember which one.”

    Multiple girlfriends was my first thought, too. That error is called an “ambiguous pronoun reference.”

    Good luck with the day’s Hash.
