Chaotic ostrich butt

Both Jeanne and I had rough days at work yesterday, so we met to knit at a wine bar instead of our usual coffee shop. Really, who were we kidding? We were there to talk and drink some wine and laugh at old knitting books and the current issue of Knitter’s. Everyone knows that it’s too dark to knit in a wine bar – although I did pick up 13 stitches, then knit across those 13 plus 8 more stitches. At that point, I decided to rest on my laurels and not try to pick up the other 13 stitches for the heel.

Anyway, we each tried a tasting flight: Jeanne tried the shiraz/syrah flight and I tried the pinot noir flight. It was quite fun to sip our little glasses of wine, make notes on our flight sheets, and toss off pseudo-oenophilic jargon, describing one wine as “delightfully undistinguished” and another as having “deep fruity overtones.” (Well, we thought we were funny at the time…)

Yum.

Chaos? Hey, Chaos, can you come out of your “hiding” place and wish Peeve a happy birthday? And maybe send get well wishes to Mrs Pao’s husband, Pao, who had surgery today?

“How did you know where I was?!”

  1. I think it is so funny when cats hide like that! I can’t see you so you can’t see me, even if I am hiding under a box/behind a shoe that is half my size.

  2. “I’m not hiding in here. Go look for Chaos somewhere else.” Oh man, I could have used a trip to the wine bar too yesterday. I had to resort to other means to soothe away the days woes. Hope you guys are better today. It’s OK Chaos, come out of the box now.

  3. Chaos has kind of a short tail for as big as he is….of course I’m sure this isn’t his good side.
    Yummy wine! I wouldn’t even try to knit in a wine bar, my sight is as bad enough as it is:)

  4. A knit night with tasting fights- you’re my kind of girl! 😉 I’ve only been to a wine bar once, but I enjoyed making the waiter/”winetender” cringe with my “oenophilic” proclamations. I thought I was pretty funny, too, but after 5 or 6 glasses, there’s not too much that isn’t funny, LOL! Take care, Chris! 🙂

  5. Oh, I could have used a trip to a wine bar this week too. Course we don’t have a wine bar. Hope today is a better day for both of you.

  6. pao says thank you for the positive thoughts. The op seems to have gone well – not too much pain at the moment.

    I can’t knit and drink wine – hic…

  7. Where did you go, ‘zackly? The Pirate would probably enjoy it…
    sounds like fun, although perhaps not *exactly* conducive to productive knitting! 😀

  8. oooh! J was thinking of buying a bottle of wine — do you have any reccommendations? The stuff he bought last time was barely tolerable.

    I’ve been home sick all day, glued to the floor in front of the bed wrapped in blankets. Chaos, you should see my two girls, they are both passed out next to me.
