Life suddenly got better.

The Alibi Room did indeed have the shoulder bag that I had mistakenly left there after a pleasurable dining experience last night.

And that shoulder bag contains my irreplaceable train ticket home. And now I have that shoulder bag. And that train ticket.

And tonight I will be home.

People in Seattle are much nicer this year than they were last year.

1. HOORAY!

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Dude, you're scaring me with these sparkly motherfuckers.

[swag]

14. Why did you find it necessary to use a curse word?

[ghostsofgiants]

16. It's what I do.

Glad to hear of your good fortune, by the way.

[swag]

12. You bring cheer to any thread.

Your presence warms my bosom.

2. No wonder you were so grumpy last night

on your hide-the-kudzu-thread thread. Glad everything worked out.

[swag]

8. I'm sorry. I didn't think I was so sour grumpy.

I'm just always looking for an excuse to use the atrios coinage "whiny titty babies."

So when whiny titty babies start whining about the kudzu thread, I'm happy to type "whiny titty babies."

3. My dear swag......

I am so happy to hear of your good fortune.....after your bad fortune...

There's noplace like home, is there?

Have a lovely train ride....

:hug:

[swag]

9. Home is the best.

And the train ride is always nice on those Spanish Talgo trains, like the Coast Starlight.

4. Glad to hear it

...and had I known, I'd have gone out of my way to be nice to you last year.

[swag]

10. I would have been bewildered, then,

since I had always assumed you to be such a hard nut.

5. What are you doing in Seattle?

I mean, why go there? :shrug:

;)

[swag]

11. Bachelorette party.

And I knew that it would degenerate quickly, given the women involved.

And it did.

[Call Me Wesley]

15. Okay, that's a good reason!

:thumbsup:

6. So that's your alibi, is it?

No wonder it's called the Alibi Room. I doubt such a place even exists.

[swag]

13. There's a great vintage Tiki bar on Interstate Ave. in Portland

called the Alibi. The decor is unbelievable.

Unfortunately the help seems to prefer the classic rock station to Martin Denny.

And karaoke has also done its part in subverting the beauty.
