Lori and I fell into the trap known as Dave & Buster’s last night. There is one in Times Square, and we’d been meaning to go forever. Last night we finally got our acts together and went. And anyplace that lets me play Skee-Ball while drinking beer? That’s my idea of heaven. We’re planning a return trip as soon as possible, this time just to play arcade games and drink. Because while the food was excellent, if we eat at Lori’s before we go there we can afford more games. And that means we can win more tickets. And that, my friends, that means that we can redeem the tickets for more cheap crap like the stuffed animals we got last night. We all know I need more cheap crap at my house.

Last night’s New Hampshire returns were a bit disheartening until I realized this morning that despite the 3% difference in popular vote, Barack and Hillary got the same amount of delegates out of it. As Rick keeps telling me, it’s only one primary. I don’t hate Hillary, but I think her time on Capitol Hill has affected her – she’s had to change her stance a bit in order to get places with the good ol’ boys on the Hill (like her vision of a health care program, and the war, and…well, we’ll leave it at that). If in the end, she is the Democratic candidate, I’ll vote for her because I fear all the Republican candidates. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be pulling for an Obama/Edwards ticket until the very last minute. And since New York is going to be voting on Tsunami Tuesday with half the states in the union, I’ll actually get to voice my opinion before it’s all decided for once.

Until then, though, you’ll find me at Dave & Buster’s. With a beer in one hand and a skee-ball in the other.
