Just a little bit more

on the event tuesday night (local, etc.). It was a fundraiser for Patuxent Habitat for Humanity, a worthy cause.

And, in the effort to save our time yesterday, I didn't get into the "juggling" aspect of attending these events. I knew it was coming, but it is still frustrating. You "check in", and are handed a wine glass (thanks again for that) along with your little ticket you're supposed to get punched at each booth to prevent you from returning 10 times for that stuffed pepper. Okay, so you have to keep track of the glass and your ticket. That's two already. get to the booth with maybe now that modicum of wine in your glass requiring extra care to prevent it from dribbling out on the ground (or you). You get your little morsel from the vendor usually in a little cup or on a little plate, and oh yes, here's a napkin and a spoon/fork. Enjoy! Ticket, glass, dish, napkin, utensil, thats five. and the last time i counted, i had only two hands. Several strategies are available - some make a little "stand" by cupping the wine glass at the top and try to balance the plate on that; you and saunter over to a parked car and slyly use the hood/trunk; ask somebody to hold it for you (not recommended); squat on the ground (other troubles arise). It's just damn hard. and yes, i know there are those little devices that enable you to hang the glass around your neck, and also look like an idiot.. a real problem..
