Oh, the joy of registering for gifts. At once the most exciting and dulling experience. I don't know why I get excited about picking out sheets, but I do. Maybe it's the promise of...sleeping on them with The Girl. Yet, picking out a rug/coffee maker/toaster oven can destroy my spirit like pissing on a camp fire (if you'll excuse me the metaphor). [Sappy comment following] At least I've got an incredible Girl to do this with. She, well, she's great and I love her very much even going through some 'fun' discussions about curtains. Even though she has better taste and training she seeks my input on decisions which keeps me involved and interested. [Please note that Sappy comments are none the less true and genuine]. I made an important discovery tonight that eclipses anything else that I gave thought to: Starbucks has Drinking Chocolate. 'What do you mean, hot chocolate?' No, this is as far beyond hot chocolate as hot chocolate is beyond drinking drain water. In a word: Incredible.
