    The 14th day of March - A cause for celebration

    It is the 14th day of March. On this day, many a culture have celebrated with a pint of Erdingers, over the last century.

    We hope we can keep up the age old tradition of hoisting a couple of pints / shooting a couple of shots at our traditional Happy Hour location in Lan Kwai Fong -- Schnurbarts.

    The usual suspects will be there.

    Funny... was waiting around for someone to kinda catch the reference, even though I'm a day off.

    Quck update.

    Tonight will have to be a quick drink. I'm kinda slow after a 2am session at Insomnia.

    The mind is writing checks that the body can't cash.

    Age Old Tradition also Fies upon ye who instigateth adventure with others which ye cannot abide wholeheartedly by.

    SCMP headline on Ides of March: Irate mob in LKF lynches drowsy kingpin caught trying to duck out from party after quick 'un!

    Never mind. Six hours have passed since that last msg was posted (if Geoexpat clock can be trusted) - more than enough time to effect a complete mood-change and fully replenish the body's "balance".

    Scoured the papers for the headlines. So apparently recovery from insomnia was effective and the mob was appeased.

    Sorry, had been hoping too but had that growing mountain work piling up at office too. Could only leave close to 9 pm. Wound one's way to Delaney's upstairs to join shanx99 (and a few others met for the first time). I must have brought luck - no wicket fell after my arrival.
