MY KINGDOM!: the HINES WARD of Blogs

2.11.04

TUESDAY HANGOVER: "I'm going to be on this chocolate bunny like... Like a Fat Kid with a chocolate bunny!"

Yes, that was a true Buffism, one of many from the weekend that was in Beantown. Now we return to our regularly scheduled Blogation.

I'd like to thank my baby bro for throwing a couple of innings for me over the weekend, but Jesus! you give a kid a soapbox... Here I figured he'd hook me up with some money MacGyver stories, or perhaps some embarassing mishaps concerning childhood versions of he and I, and what do i get? Politcal pandering? In the Kingdom? I guess turnabout is fair play. Thanks, though, Danielle, you're welcome to write here any time (Just remember that "opportunity" is speed with two 'o's and zero 'e's...you truly do spell like Dad).

Moving on, and I'm going to make this quick, because I'm just killing a little bit of time before class, I just wanted everyone out there to know that the weekend that was, was indeed frat-tastic. In our older age, we're slowly but surely moving into a more mellow frattiness, but so long as Nate and Buff are involved, it's certainly going to be remarkable.

So what about my lifelong wait to finally get to Boston? Well, the city's certain picturesque, especially around Havard, and I thoroughly enjoyed Quincy Market, but I don't know... perhaps there was just too much hype for me? Or Perhaps the Patriots and Red Sox have ruined it forever, but I guess I was just left a little underwhelmed. Surely, I could live there and be quite happy, and surely, I didn't get to see a whole ton of the city, but the place just didn't blow me
away like I always expected it would. I would CERTAINLY give it another chance, though.

Anywho, before this gets too long/out of hand, I want to let yinz all know where the Blog's headed this week. The Rules will be pushed back until NEXT Tuesday, because comments are of short supply (largely because all the regular readers of the Kingdom were headed to Boston), and the rest of this week will in most likelihood be devoted to recapping the Boston trip, one pithy story at a time. I've just got to sort out the beer-hazed memories and come up with punchlines and we'll be all set. I'll keep writing, if you keep reading.

Finally, if anyone out there wants to come over tonight and watch the election results roll in, give me a call. I'll probably hook myself up with some wine and draw while the word comes in. We can either drown our sorrows, or celebrate joyously, I've really got no clue how it's going to go.

Take it easy folks, and if you've not gotten the Daily Dose yet, scroll on down, and check out the possible NYE plans, let us know if you've even got a cursory interest!
