Mild Night Out

Saturday was a long day for me and when it was over, I was in the mood for something relaxing. Not quite jimjilbang relaxing, but definately not a night out at Slang, dancing and carrying on. Matt and I went to the Wine Bar around 9 and settled into a nice spacious booth. Jeff, his friend Ross, Dan, and his friend joined us a bit later. The wine was flowing and the talk was friendly (except when I, a non-sensical, non-political person started raving about the Liberal Party and how wonderful they were. Too bad I couldn't make one valid point. I'll have to do some research...blonde moments followed).

I love this place and think they need one in Toronto. All you can drink wine for a set price (in this case, 14,000 won, which is about $15). Sure, the quality of the vin is a bit compromised, but it reeks of home (I mean really HOME...like your own living room) with everyone lounging around, discussing life. We could have quite a few good, as Tammy Lucas used to say, Dumb-Offs at this place (a dumb-off is a conversation usually had when intoxicated where the sheer nature of your talk solves world issues, one after the other. It is brilliant and very helpful for mankind...it's the least we can do).

Anyway, I stumbled upon an article about hapiness and want to elaborate on it over the next few blogs. It is a ten-step process to help you identify your own hapiness and then allow it to come to fruition. I always did say that hapiness was not something that happens to you, but rather, something you work hard to achieve. If anyone ever told me, "I'm not happy", I would think to myself (or retort aloud, in some cases), "Well that is because you have to make yourself happy. Find what makes you happy and do it." I'm glad I've gotten softer and refrain, for the most part, from retorting these days.

So that's what's to come. For now though, here's some pics from that fateful Saturday night...

Salute!
