champagne tasting at Lava tonight…’flights’ would be the correct phrase…round after round of obscure labels, followed by a familiar label..Freakin’Et…or Freixenet..Spain’s reliable export…however, the corks popped and we swilled…Alex, Matt, Carla, Camilla,Robin, Matt’s nephew..yep, the usual suspects..Matt and I, being the ScoutMasters of this exceedingly wild/wicked/wayward…or way weird…bunch, bailed after countless rounds…hangover? plan on it…that’s why i brewed up a batch of Carla’s Lime-tini’s upon crawling home…’might as well be hanged for a sheep as a goat..no..that’s wrong..so..what the hell, i’m gonna be sick anyway.
