what did YOU do this weekend?

We had a very nice brunch downtown today. Afterwards, we were walking around, enjoying the pleasant weather...and happened across a stuffed toy duck sprawled on the sidewalk, with a chalk line drawn around it!

MonkeyBoy knelt down and attempted 'CPR' (by poking it a little). Heartless passerby giggled. A guy on a bike sped by and called out, "he's not breathing!" Soon we gave up and went on our way. What a fun and funny day it was so far.

So, we turned down a side street, laughing it up. But suddenly, parody flipped over into reality.

The woman we saw laying on the sidewalk was in a weird position--kneeling, with her face planted on the ground, and her arms at her sides. At first, I thought she was dead. But on closer inspection, she was still breathing...barely. She'd nearly polished off the industrial-size bottle of vodka that was sitting on the steps behind her. We called the EMTs and they came to pick her up, and tried to revive her...but I have a feeling that she may still be out at this hour.

Hm. I don't recall being at that party...but, then, I never do.

What I saw was probably the only real highlight, so you wouldn't have missed much.
