Well...

Did you rake this weekend?
We didn't (tee hee).

We went out Friday night to meet a friend at a popular drinking spot. It was packed with people wearing green, and having green jello shots, and sporting blinking shamrock antenna.
We decided after our first drink that it was too crowded and loud - so we walked down the street to restaurant that has a bar which was... very ...hmm... sedate. It was perfect. There were a handful of folks at the bar, no loud drunken green people. It was perfect. The drinks were a couple bucks more, but we could easily converse with the bartender without shouting. It was perfect. There was one little TV, and they had the Uconn game on. I had to read the scores to my nearsighted wife, who had forgotten her glasses. It was perfect. Uconn won. And shortly thereafter we all concurred it was time to call it a night. It was perfect.
It was on the way home that my brilliant wife suggested we hibernate the weekend away with the 'Big Dance' on TV and a fire in the wood stove. The raking could wait.
It was perfect.
