Happy 2 days before V-E Day

Today's work attire consists of the following: 2) Tennis shoes, 2) White socks, 1) Pair of Gap Jeans, 1) White long-sleeved undershirt, and 1) 'Don't Mess with Texas' orange T-Shirt. My dress code is pretty linear - on monday i show up in a conservative dark shirt, with slacks, and nice shoes. By tuesday I'm wearing sneakers. Jeans usually show up thursday, if not wednesday. But today's the first day I've worn a t-shirt. And i'm getting paid, folks. I'm getting paid. Sunday is V-E Day, which stands for 'Victory in Europe' for those of you who watch 'American Idol' DVD-box sets. In celebration, I'm going to the town of Plzen (Pilsen) to drink beer and meet old american guys who will also be drinking beer. I hope to be regailed by hazy stories half remembered, half fabricated about drinking beer in west Bohemia. Maybe i'll even make a few stories of my own. I'm optimistic that beer + incoherent veterans + rusty military equipment = more fun than I've had in years. And tetanus.
