a friend…

… passed away yesterday. Tog and I used to MC the boy scout campfires in our younger days. I reconnected with him a few years ago and BLOGGED about the reconnection (after 33 years). The post is actually the first emails we exchanged. Through it I think you will be able to pick up the zest he had for life. We will all miss you, my friend. Happy trails. EDIT: Tog was quite an accomplished …

I had a bar of dark chocolate today…

… during a meeting and was buzzing so hard by the time the meeting was done. Within an hour of getting home I totally crashed. It was a if I had drunk 20 cups of coffee.

This has been his fifth visit …

Yep, thar she blows!

The sewer backed up at the house today. Well not actually the house but the toilet in my back office… but that is the last stop before entering the main line. So, any drainage from the house was coming out my toilet. Not a pretty thing. So, I call the roto-rooter folks who say that a “technician” would be over within an hour… which he was. Cool. He asked where the “vent” was and I …

Yeah, we’ve been talking about touring…

… the show in the Summer of 2008. It’s too late to apply for any of the fringe festivals this year. (We missed applications to the SF Fringe by about a week.) Still, a year and a half will give us time to fund raise for it. At the moment, Toronto and San Francisco are on the talking board between the cast, crew and I. (excerpt from the post on the TJ site today.) Not …
