Falling off the Wagon

Yes, there are no readers here (so consequently no one will care), but let's start with the bad -- I fell off the wagon and didn't post for two weeks. Really, I wish I had a good reason for it. Drinking binge brought on by Easter with the family? Drinking binge brought on by a delayed Spring? A drining binge in jubilation at the death of Osama Bin Laden? Unfortunately, none of these. As one of my favorite Bret Easton Ellis characters said, and I say it now, "Deal with it." I'll be better.

On a lighter note, I bought Brooks Brothers boat shoes from the store in dt Mpls. Consider it a birthday present to myself. I then walked up Nicollet Mall in my gray double-breasted Ralph Lauren suit with pinstripes sans tie but sporting a pink pocketsquare from XMI while carrying a Brooks Brothers bag and wearing my chunky sunglasses from that vintage store in uptown. Got a lot of stares outside Brit's pub.

I look like I make money, but people haven't seen my paycheck.
