Bachtown5000

Yeah, here it is.  I'm Bachtown5000 for the first time since last November.  The wife went a-jaunting to warm mountainy Arizona.  Rang it in, alright, though.  Brother and buddy came a-callin' and we had the best Chicago-style deep dish a man can get this side of Chicago and/or her suburbs at a little sports bar in Washington called Gracie's.  Took 'em a good 70 minutes to serve us the damn thing, but it was worthwhile when it came. 

We discussed things such as basketball, Tractor Supply Company, woman's basketball, how to buy a 'lectric guitar, and so on and so forth.  Then we retired to the homestead and watched episodes two and three of HBO's The Pacific.  That'll sober ya.  Except for the part that we had our way with some Cockburn's Tawny Port and some knockoff not-quite-Bailey's Irish Creme on the rocks.  It was still rough, and these kinds of things never fail to illustrate all the things I'm unlikely to be ever be able to accomplish for my country as some of those who came before, as well as those who are serving now or recently returned to us.
