Fun Evening
First off, LJ's new update thingy is double plus ungood.
My friend Colin was in town from Falkirk today, and we met for soymilk hot chocolate about 3. We chatted away, conversation turned from mild gossip to motion sickness to crop circles to camping to strange and petty laws (Apparently, in Yorkshire on a certain Sunday once a year, while wearing armour on a golf course, with a certain styelbow and arrow, you can kill a Scotsman.). We finished our drinks, and we chatted some more. The sun is going down here at about four, and when it was dark they turned down the lights and lit candles. In the candle light, Colin leaning foward so it lit his face just so, I'm thinking, "wow, he's cutl." Around then it occured to me that he'd come into town to visit me. A bit later I had to hit the lavy, and when I came back he says "do you have any idea what time it is?" I looked at my watch. 10pm. We'd been chatting away for seven hours.
So he's having a birthday thingy next Wednesday, and is scheduled to start T (if the docs get their rears in gear) before the new year. Any thoughts on what I can bring that isn't a big embarassing deal but a little acknowledgement? Like a wrapped syringe or something? Anyone? He's an outdoorsy guy, not super butch but not nelly either. Very serious, but quite funny and droll. Any thoughts?
