On Service...

... Matty - of Blackfive fame, has just watched the odometer on his blog click past the 2 year mark... I've watched his blog grow and morph from a collection of military stories... into a information outlet and rallying point for troops (and families) trying to get the real skinny on what's happening overseas... it's been quite a ride...

... having said that, though.. I have had the pleasure of drinking with meeting Blackfive in person... heh heh... and as evidenced by the photo below, he and I really enjoyed ourselves... I would, however, like to point out that the tab was for 15 drinks... and as there were two of us drinking.. and 15 is not traditionally divisible by 2... the logical conclusion is that I out-drank the poor paratrooper... hey, what?... everyone needs a claim-to-fame...

... so kudos, friend... congratulations on two years in the saddle.. may Blackfive ride on for years to come...

... oh, and the next time you want to hit Le Colonial and drain their Scotch closet, just give me a yell...

Disregard.

The Oban was probably mine. These were doubles, people. And Eric more than likely did consume the odd scotch.

AND, I might add, this was from the MIDDLE of our evening.

We started with beers on Navy Pier at about 1pm, PJ Clarkes, then the 95th floor where a similar scotch tab was created, then India House (Kingfisher!), then onto Le Colonial, followed by several more taverns and ending at 1:30am...well, ending is a poor choice of words as it was just the beginning of a long night.

Eric's final drink came in the form of chilled water in my 10 month old daughter's sippy cup.
