Thanks. Just to clarify: I was drunk when I wrote my previous comment, but stone cold sober when I wrote the original post. If I tried to write something that long and involved while under the influence, it would look more like, “Almost too cute a synecdoche of the theme of BLARRGGH I loveyou lets makeout GGGARRRGH.”

Upon further examination, I find that my previous comment makes no sense. This probably has something to do with the fact that I was drunk when I wrote it.

My point, really, is that these patterns are not just a good thing, but the perfect thing. I can’t speak for any bears, but words like “salmon” and “defecate” and “hibernate” make me feel good.

I suppose I could also leave a more constructive response.

So, I want to know: do you think these patterns are a bad thing? Bears don’t blog about catching fewer salmon during the winter months; to them the laidback pace of hibernation is as natural & logical as the environment in which they defecate. But then again, I don’t read any bear blogs.

You’re on the right track with your plan for the bar, though. Going out for a drink or two on a winter night replaces summer afternoon happy hours.
