Everybody's living for the weekend

It was such a good weekend that it gets two blogs.

To make sure that we had a little extra fun, in addition to all of the other fun we were having, I made up a game where we would write haikus every now and then throughout the weekend to capture a particular moment or experience.

For example, when we took the bus to downtown from the airport we had a moment that was captured thusly:

On the slow bus. Yeah.
Hmm. I think we hit something.
It’s so northwest here.

Eric got something in his eye while waiting in line for coffee at the Peet's in SFO. It was still there several hours later when this game was invented. The result:

Irritated eye
I see and I do not see
A new perspective

Profound, no? This next one was in honor of our flailing tour guide, and it is almost verbatim:

Here’s some good advice:
Have fun...as much as you can
Oh look! Cute puppy!

Another highlight was inspired at the lobby bar at the W where we spent more time than I will admit to not under oath. I was entrusted with ordering us drinks and managed to quite unintentionally get one that tasted like grape flavored Big League Chew, but not in an awesome way like you might expect. It was called "A Currant Affair" and was the impetus for this late-night haiku:

A currant affair
Made my tastebuds unhappy
Took one for the team
