The Grapevine Bar (Where Mr. Heather manages & bartends) was in the June issue of Out magazine! It was their "Hot Issue: 79 People, places, and things that turn us on right this minute."
Hottest Jukebox
Grapevine, Dallas
At a bar where nothing matches (not the decor, glassware, or people) the jukebox, boasting Donna Summer, Jimmy Buffett, and Judy Garland is no exception.

Vibe me this evening, please, as I have a test. The first one since PhD prelims, and those were a rutting disaster... anyway, this whole being back in school thing is starting to feel an awful lot like being back in school.
Just to let everyone know, Vortex is safely out of surgery and into recovery. According to the update, she's doing fine; whether she survives a week or two of care at the ancestral home is a whole 'nother matter.
More updates (I bet meara has some, as well) as they become available. I'll be calling tomorrow to check in on Our Ms. V.
Second interview scheduled for Thursday at 3 PDT. Jobma please - the first dose was potent.
Hi all. Back from The Dark. Most profuse apologies for going dark without warning. 9 kow-tows and 3 obeisances.
The DH had a gating email interview yesterday for a QA job he can do quite well. They have many to read, but please, send jobma that they like his enough to ask for a face-to-face.
I'm back from Ireland now. Ireland was great. I got totally lost in Heathrow and nearly missed my connection coming home, but I made it. I'm not sure how much I'll be online, though, since my home internet connection is getting a bit screwed up right now.
Have second interview at a company which I think will be a nearly perfect fit for me tonight. Jobma vibes appreciated.
We won the budget fight! I'm sure it's cause I'm so brilliant. ;)
Thanks to Deb for the update. I am now at the ancestral homestead. Feel okay, little tired and sore. Online will be sporadic, as mom is nosy and might notice where I am and start lurking. *shudder*
