Whew.  Home from work and I’ve decided I’m too tired to attempt poker tonight – just not in the kind of mental state that leads to profitability.  So, if I’m tired, am I going to bed?  No, of course not, I’m going to the bar.  Blue Moon is the Fire Sale.  The Saucer’s been on a “hey, we finally realized we should Fire Sale beers that don’t suck” kick for the past few weeks, so I figure I better take maximum advantage of it.

One final thought:  The Hot Chicks with Douchebags blog did a post on orange female douchebags earlier this week.  Those of you who hang out in bars in the Downtown core, does this remind you of anyone we know?
