took the day off to drive the wife to a job interview (looking good, she -hates- sitting home), lunch at the local pub (pork cutlet schnitzel and a stout brewed in-house) and sampled some Knockeen Hills poteen (basically imported Irish grain alcohol). whoa, tasty, danger-danger.

ordered studded snows for the bike and went through my fencing gear to get ready for a tournament on Saturday.
