Cyberque on the 25th

Lets go with the bad news first… the laptops that I have (from school) will not allow me to hook up the webcam to it. As such, the webcam from my office will have to suffice. (Those bastards have “administrative control.”) So, a lot of the festivities will have to take place by the trailer in my driveway. It’s better than nothing, I guess. The good news…. the cyberque is on! We in Cali will …

Slugging it out

I’ve been a total slug the last couple of days. Spent time just noodling on the computer with no primary objective. Something that I have not indulged in a very long time. It feels good-sort of like reconnecting with that old friend who was content just to hang and waste time with. Thursday I head back up to SF to pick up Randy and son. It’ll be a one day turn-around. No hanging out downtown …

Friday Night Out!

The night began at Full Circle Brewery where we drank freshly brewed beers and experienced both the All Too Real Players and the jangly pop of Trike Shop. Even SSM put aside his homicidal weekend schedule to join in the fun. The turnout was low but fun was had by all. JunkPuppetry, the moanful wail of the theremin, beers and easy fellowship… all ingredients for the begining of a fun evening. the true nature of …

Subbing

I’m actually sitting in class subbing for a fellow teacher. I had agreed to do this a couple of weeks ago… and there was an offer of money. The gig is not too bad. Class goes between 11:40 AM to 1:55 PM for 2 days. This also gives me an opportunity to “feel things out” on the employment front. Was it just “burn out” that I was reacting to a few weeks ago? Do I …

SF and the end of an era

So, we get to San Francisco. Park the car saunter over to the Essex… and the door is locked! On the window we see this notice. (click on the pic for a bigger picture.) The notice What??? It closed??? I was dumbfounded. This was MY place. It was a quaint old hotel (with great rates) that was a home away from home when I was up in the City. I’ve had many a good time …

Trippin it out!

Well, the MJ verdict is in. That’s all I have to say about that. For you regulars (and not so regular) on this blog… I’ve added some features. They include a clock, a guest map, a hit counter, a theatre news feed and a button to my webcam page. I leave tomorrow for an over-nighter in SF. Taking a friend to the airport who is flying off to London for a week. Kein, check your …

Pre-Cyberque

Jade & APJ outside the Starline last night OK… not really. We met at the Starline last night and I couldn’t help but take the pic. Anyway looks like New Jersey may chime in on the cyberque as well. A mutual friend of Lelly and me , Richard in Malaysia has been scoping out the blogs and I think that he should also join in the fun. So what if its 4 AM??? Looking into …
