"This Gives Me Even Greater License to Drink, Right?"
I'm at my 20-year college reunion right now, so typing time is tight. I'll simply say the beauty of attending such an event is this: I am assured I'm not the only one my age with a paunch and thinning hair. However, to my credit, and unlike many of my peers, I have not chosen to grow facial hair as a counterbalance to the loss of head-top hair.
In other news: the contractors working on the kitchen remodel have lost the plans--you know, the ones that were full of hand-written notes about small changes; as well, even though they filed for a building permit three weeks ago, it hasn't come through yet, so they've been working without one now for two weeks. Any steps of the process that require inspection, such as some work on the heating pipes they did, cannot happen until the permit comes through; thus, progress has slowed. Also, the architect feels pretty sure the bathroom he designed is fine (we're adding in a half-bath, too), but he'd feel even better if it were measured one more time...so in the interim, that means the cabinet-maker can't start making the cabinets, as any change in bathroom size will affect cabinet size.
In short, the remodel, with its various derailments, seems right on track, ja?
And all of this means I should drink a whole lot of Surly Beer at the class of 1989's social hour tonight, right?
Help me with my rationalizations here, people.

I so love you.
Have a blast!
do i need to come over and measure it myself? i won't even charge you an arm and a leg.
just an arm.
If you run low on the Surly, we're still trying to polish off the last keg of Schlafly here in StL. We'd love to have you back here...
Fair warning... it has become hot and humid here.
here. here. here.
How does one edit these posts?
Are you two months behind yet? If not, you're ahead of schedule. I've found that the norm is two/three months behind, $5/10K over budget. (the over budget amount includes all the liquor you must buy to survive)
I see absolutely nothing at all wrong with your logic, those rationalizations would most certainly work for me under similar circumstances. But then to, I was known for a long period of time as being ready, willing and able to use any excuse whatsoever as a reason to indulge in one, two of ten brews, or some Scotch Mists or even a jog or two of Boone's Farm wine. Some FINE wine that stuff is, ya know.
drink heavily. have a stiff one or two for me as well. ;)
I'm thinking it's Miller Time. Do they still make Miller? I don't drink beer anymore. Are you recovering today? Get lots of pictures of the HSBuds-turned-old-farts? And what's with this not growing hair on your face thing? That's just wrong. I should know.
You have the right attitude and good for you for making the reunion. I've just backed out of mine and have far better plans for that time period. And man did that relax me.
I dunno, I think a fu manchu mustache would be pretty cool on you. Or sideburns!
I didn't know Junior Kindergarten did 20 year reunions!?
What's a reno without derailment?
You go ahead and have that extra beer.
You have not chosen to grow facial hair as a counterbalance to the loss of head-top hair? In other words, you have chosen not to look as if your head is on upside-down?
This changes everything.
A lot of beer or a lot of chocolate. There ya' go. Permission granted.
