Awesome, Vortex! We got it retroactive too. I had to do some calculations to figure out how much extra to contribute till the end of the year. It was fun.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm back from dropping off Emily and Tom. I declare Scola Fest: The San Francisco Leg to be a complete success. Drinks were quaffed, karaoke was sung, tasty food bits were consumed, dancing happened, drunken swaying happened, jokes and gossip happened, inappropriate touching happened, appropriate touching happened. We met Motorcycle Boy. Some karaoke girl got all up in Juliana's grill (though there were no coloraturas involved), but I think it was really UST.
It was a Very Fun Night, even if the karaoke was mostly gawdawful. (Whyfor did he massacre "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"? WHY?)

because that's the only way that song can be done?
Hey San Francisco people, tiggy is in your city with family (and one family member is on a business trip, I think). She's looking for kid-friendly tourist-y places to visit Any suggestions? She's at the Hyatt Regency and says the area seems very business oriented.
One of my bosses just came up and said the funniest thing:
"Joe, I received a very nice compliment about you from [customer]. They said you were very good and helpful, even though you couldn't answer their questions at all."
I'm just imagining the conversation he had with [customer]: "Oh, and Joe was very nice, so helpful. Dumb as a bag of hammers, but..."
I was going to say I was impressed that you managed to be helpful while not answering their questions, but then I remembered you're a parent.

The experience in Nashville contradicts that. It can also be done by the entire bar bellowing along.

Fisherman's Wharf, The Exploratorium, Golden Gate Park - all of those are kid-friendly and tourist-y.
Thanks, juliana. I'll let her know.

Well, so far da Punk's not at the "Hey, dad, where did the universe come from?" stage, but I do apply certain techniques in the "No, you can't watch Chip N Dale again, it's bedtime" arena.
Sometimes they're even successful.
Is Em WHY-ing you to death, yet?
