Just Now
Like 30 seconds ago.
Me: We may have to decide between Oktoberfest [in Munich] and a soccer game [in Frankfurt].
Ms. P: Oktoberfest is pretty much just drinking and eating, right? You want to do that, you're excited for it?
Me: Have you ever known me not to be excited for eating and drinking?

Highlight of my Weekend
Just wanted to share this short film, courtesy of Kos (of Thundering Herd), that depicts what may or may not have been the highlight of my weekend. Ms. P thinks that it is possibly the lowlight of my life. Since she also happened to call me approximately 4 minutes after I finished, she warned me to expect a heart attack in the next 20 minutes. The heart attack never materialized, but I'm sure my arteries are hard as steel.
Back story:
Several years ago I read about the ten burgers that you have to try before you die (incidentally, they all will contribute to an early death). One of the burgers mentioned utilized Krispy Kreme doughnuts instead of bread buns, and was subsequently tossed in the deep fryer. Not too surprisingly, this is a Southern delicacy, I think it was Mississippi or Arkansas. While I've never been all that keen on having my burger deep fried, I have since that fateful day dreamt of tasting that meaty, glazed delicacy - bacon and cheese included of course. We were having a few pints after Thundering Herd* practice on Saturday, and I mentioned this life goal to J in the context of meals he may miss as he is moving back to the Marshall Islands, where he grew up. This suggestion caught his fancy, and after a few extra pints, Burger Kreme beat out Boudins BBQ as the evening's choice meal. Kos (Kosovo) joined our endeavor. We even bought Justin a bean burger so his vegetarianism wouldn't stand in the way of his quality of life, although he wasn't there when we got back, and the bean burger had disappeared by the time he returned. The rest is, as they say, history. Or EPIC WIN in this case.
* Thundering Herd is one of the top UK mixed teams, and will be playing at next month's European Club Championships in London. Afraid that they might be short on men, they had initially included me in a group of players that might fill in. As it turns out, they will have enough of their regulars for ECC, but as my season has ended I am now training with them for fun. There are also three of my Burro Electrico team mates that play with Herd, as they are known. Fashion Bonus: Herd wear cow-print shorts.
