Welcome to this week’s edition of “what I didn’t do last weekend.”\u00a0 I have many exciting tales of life from the couch again.\u00a0 Cold weather is rough on us, what can I say.\u00a0 Things started off reasonably strong with an evening at the Brooksider on Friday.\u00a0 I stopped by Diebels on the way and picked up a cigar for the evening.\u00a0 I even let them talk me into a new selection this visit, a Siglo Limited Reserve.\u00a0 While a bit trendy for my usual taste, and certainly higher priced than my usual taste, it made for a good “special occasion” cigar;\u00a0 Said occasion being the last time we will be outdoors for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 We went home and ate a little dinner, then watched Public Enemies<\/a>.\u00a0 I found the movie a bit disjointed, never really following where the plot was going.\u00a0 This may have been in part because I kept nodding off for 5 minute stretches throughout the show.\u00a0 I finally managed to work up to some level of alertness for what was presumably the big showdown, as the agents closed in on the gangsters hideout.\u00a0 Just as the shoot-out was about to begin the DVD messed up and wouldn’t play.\u00a0 Oh well, another two and a half hours of my life wasted.<\/p>\n

Saturday…\u00a0 Well, Saturday never quite got started for us.\u00a0 We made a few very half-hearted efforts at getting around, but they never came together.\u00a0 I had intended to kick around the gym for a while, but the next thing I knew the college basketball games had started.\u00a0 Victimized again by the television.\u00a0 After\u00a0 watching all the games that at least moderately interested me, it was dinner time.\u00a0 So, I fixed myself some leftovers, and while I was eating I noticed that the weather had turned quite unfavorable outside.\u00a0 Just what I needed, another excuse to return to the couch, which I promptly did.\u00a0 Fired up the Netflix and spent the rest of the evening suffering through a few painfully unremarkable films.<\/p>\n

Sunday brought a limited more amount of entertainment.\u00a0 We spent the better part of the morning convincing Kane that he is, in fact, a feline, and as such is well within his rights to use a litter box.\u00a0 For whatever reasons swirl around in his little pea-brain, he had abruptly stopped using it last summer, insisting instead on being let outside for his business.\u00a0 Hey, all the better for us, who wants to clean out a litter box anyway.\u00a0 This convenience hit something of a snag when the temperature dropped to the single digits and a few inches of snow fell, though.\u00a0 It was an amusing situation, if also a bit annoying.\u00a0 He would repetitively come upstairs and loudly voice his discomfort, only to wail even louder upon stepping out the back door and immediately retreating back inside.\u00a0 Any effort to show him the litter box was met with an indifferent stare and more wailing.\u00a0 The deadlock was finally broken when Donette, rapidly nearing insanity after the tenth trip down the stairs, forcibly set him in the litter box.\u00a0 He looked like one of those cartoon characters when they get a bright idea and the light bulb comes on over their head.\u00a0 He’s been perfectly content to use it since then, like it’s some wonderful new kitten invention…\u00a0 One that he hadn’t consistently used the first seven freaking years of his life.\u00a0 Cats are odd.\u00a0 Hopefully he switches back to the great outdoors next spring.\u00a0 After spending our morning re-training our cat, we headed over to our friend Ronnie’s house to watch the Chief’s game.\u00a0 The “theme” of the day had been declared a chili pot-luck, and as such we had four or five excellent variations to choose from.\u00a0 Naturally I sampled them all too, much to the dismay of my ever-aging digestive system.\u00a0 Aside from the uninteresting, embarrassing debacle masquerading as a football game on the TV, we had a fine time of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
