Adventures in Getting Ready...

Everyone's favorite feature is back! This time, a day earlier than usual! And this time, it was an email conversation which I've cut and pasted to make it look like IM.

Ski2Sun: I think this is how you should live your life:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, beer in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOOHOO, what a ride".

Mshafron: Had I died at age 20, I would have accomplished that. Unfortunately, I’m well on my way to the first part.
Ski2Sun: that's a sad story. What are you doing this weekend?
Mshafron: Not sure…I got a huge boot on my foot and am still on crutches…any suggestions?
Ski2Sun: lets play some poker at one of those spots. (editor's note: "those spots" refer to the Rounders-esque underground poker clubs in New York). you want to do that?
Mshafron: Not really…I’m pretty immobile right now.
Ski2Sun: come on...I have nothing to do this weekend.
Mshafron: Come over…I’ll play you in a series of heads-up matches…10 bucks a pop.
Ski2Sun: can we watch boiler room and rounders while we play
Mshafron: God that sounds like an amazing day…I knew there was a reason I was friends with you. You have poker chips, right?
Ski2Sun: no, but maybe I'll buy some. We'll drink beer during the day too.
Mshafron: You guys used to have them…drinking beer sounds good too. You should get a nice set, like this, just cause you can.
