Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hooray for Buffistavids! And pictures!

It was great fun hooking up with you smonster...and amyth's wonderful hugs! I had a great time all the way around.

Corb Lund is now on the radar of my friend, the music journalist, I told you about. If he ends up writing anything, I'll forward it to you.

Glad to hear you had a nice time with meara and the powerful drinks. Ima bet I made it to bed before you did though! Not sure why I was so worn out.

Hope you had fun on the 4th!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know which photo has this reflection Easter egg! I liked Kristin's, though.

My topless photo manages not to display my unsightly stomach bulge. Well done, Pete.

So many great photos! I must take a closer look at them all later. And save them for blackmail purposes.

Someone in LJ asked deb for the recipe for the fabulous tuna, white bean, and basil salad that she made for the F2F. Now I'm craving it. And I have a nice piece of albacore tuna in my freezer that would be perfect. But, I'm not home for dinner tonight or tomorrow. Feh.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Vortex, Marvelous Market just north of Dupont Circle does something ALMOST as good - they call it Tuscan White Bean and Pasta Salad. But Deb's recipe would be good to have, right?

You know, you guys set off a craving for a white bean salad last night that I could not satisfy, for though I have a number of recipes I didn't have all the ingredients for any one of them. I think I'll stop at the grocery store tonight. But, yes, we need Deb's recipe.

Albacore tuna, torn basil, cannellini beans, a bit of olive oil, a dash of basalmic, and a sprinkle of good salt.

Or you can check it out in deb's words in my lj ( [link]

(Can you tell who started this whole thing?)

Hee, I went back and checked your lj right after I posted, Brenda. Still, the more places it can be found the more likely I am to remember where to find it!
