Had the day off, so a couple friends and I decided to hit up the pool hall/pinball place in Hopkins and played for about an hour there, then went bowled for 3 games (each) at Tuttle's in Hopkins. 
Total cost? $20. That's a win.

I just received some THC gummy’s from Luxe they are really good a lot stronger then what you can get from MN distributors 

There’s 25MG and much higher if you cross the St.Croix. If you see any that also have CBG those are great. CBG helps with focus so it’s the opposite of a sleepy time thing. I saw a 150MG at one vape store, not sure who’s doing that.

Watching a Ronny Chieng special and he told a joke in reference to the explosion of podcasts during covid as, "2021 was the year when people who peaked in high school finally found their voice". 

I feel the same way about Tik Tok and Instagram. 🤣

OMW to the airport and will be in Thailand until January 16th.

Lounge access + g&t's is a nice start.

Yep... I like looking at my Christmas trees... not drinking them.

Playing dice with the Smokers' Circle, met the caretaker's daughter, she thought we were a riot. Just a bunch of old folk rollin' bones.

Whamageddon starts in 2 days. May the odds be ever in your favor. 

 

32 minutes to go. I might actually win this year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, though. I didn't want to start a new thread, and the simple thought of a happy holiday fits the theme here. Smile

Had a great Christmas Eve with the kids, son in law, and a friend who came over for some cards.  Lots of drinks and laughs.

TBH, Sinatra's "Let It Snow." Casual, whatever, I love it.

While I agree on the sentiment of it being a terrible song, I have to put it in a two way tie with "Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon as worst Christmas song.

I’ve won both Whamageddon AND the Mariah C song!  Avoided both the entire season.  Of course being in Poland for 10 days certainly helped 😉

Happy Xmas is way better...but yeah when Yoko sings it goes off the rails.

We road tripped a few hours sw of Bangkok and are glamping for 2 nights right next to a slow river. It's so tranquil and serene I can feel my body decompressing. Highly recommend.  😁

Do you think they denied it because they used the wrong letter for 'my' ? 😉

Best license plate I have ever seen: HNIC on a very slick Cadillac, driven by a Black dude. If you know, you know. 😉 The DMV didn't know.

Arrived in Bangkok on Dec 23rd. Since then we've gone glamping and river rafting, now we're at the beach house until next Tuesday. Kids came to meet us from Minnesota and one of their friends from the Philippines met us and has been staying and traveling with us.

Last night at dinner the kids played a game where they had to say a short phrase to the person sitting next to them in either English, Tagalog, Korean, Mandarin or Thai. That person had to then say a phrase that relates to what they were just told in a different language to the person next to them. So on and so forth.

Not all 3 of them are equally adept at all 5 languages, but they speak to each other often enough not in English that they have learned quite a bit from each other through the years.

I had no idea what they were generally saying, but it was fun to watch and pretty impressive. Kudos to their mothers - both fathers are linguistically challenged. 🤣

With the threat of 5" of snow... for the first time in nearly 8 months, both vehicles fit back in the garage. My wife found a school that was getting rid of all their library books. So, after a couple trips to Waldorf, Mn. our garage became a used bookstore for the summer and beyond.
