Fine Felt Stetson

I've never taken the #14 bus further than downtown, when in fact, for $2, you can take it across the freakin' province. By the time I got to the birthday party in View West---er Vic Royal---or is it Esquimalt?---I was ready to chuck my dinner down the stairs of the double-decker, so motion sick was I. But some jazzy hi-fi, copious merlot, friendly company and a steaming Mongolian hot-pot greeted me at the b-day house and quickly calmed the nerves.

Keeping a little basket of vegetables steady for five minutes in a boiling broth literally helped balance my evening. As did the lecture and diorama on urinal etiquette. And the fresh focaccia, prepared on site by the newly-minted 23-year-old himself. And more wine, more people. And chianti cheese, marbled to a slightly-crumbling white and rosé hue. We also got to wear wicked hats. I received a number of compliments on my choice of a fine felt Stetson (not unlike the one pictured).

Oh, btw fine host, I left my finger at your place. I'll grab it from ya next time we do coffee. Oh, and when I got home there was a CD "Music to HTML By" on my doorstep from nonzero.ca. Cool.
