I'm sure there have been others but since I've just noticed the ability to categorize my posts.....
Two items of significance for today.
First, I committed a Random Act of Kindness (or as DMC said, I "Paid it Forward"). I feel really sneaky and happy about it. I just cleaned off some lady's car at work but no one saw me and she is having a rough time so I feel really good about it. She came out of work, way after 5, after a day of heavy snow belt snow and found that someone had cleaned off her car. I'm absolutely giddy about it and I'll never tell it was me.
Second, DMC talked me into signing up for the Winking Lizard World Tour of Beers. He did it last year but he is much stronger than me. I can't handle much beer these days so we'll see if I make it to 100 by the end of the year (I mean, I'm sure I will drink 100 beers, I'm just not sure I'll drink them all at a Winking Lizard). I'm half the woman I used to be - almost literally - so we'll see how that goes. Although, I AM a College Student so, I got that going for me.
Right now, I'm watching "Beerfest" for the second time in a month so DMC can write a paper for our Team Building class (I chose "Over the Hedge"). We just had several beers at the WL. I'm currently drinking a Southern Tier Old Man Winter and in my drunkeness, wrote this poem for my friend, PWTS (I know it's crap, just bear with me. I haven't written a poem since I was 14):
He moves and sits still
Both with stealth and silence
Like Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Manson
He quietly observes
And imparts his will
No grocer murders, mayhem, madness
Only food and drink and smoke and talk
Buk and slang and music
He asks nothing more from me
Than to be who I am.
His presence brings peace, wisdom,
Community, reality and truth
Past and present combine
We only move forward,
We never move back.

Nice! I especially like the first stanza. Really, you are too kind, or maybe too drunk. I think Marshmallow's evaluation of me might be more accurate: "You spend more time doing nothing than anyone I know." But, me no Buddha, I'll take any praise you want to give. It feels good.
