oh, you are welcome. thank you card NOT necessary. I am in a never ending cycle of thank you cards for all the family and friends of family who send mac things. He now likes writing his name so much he is retro-actively wanting to send more.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Happy Birthday Tom!
I am peeved that Walmart.com's music download catalog is Windows-only, and thus I'm unable to even check whether or not they have Traveling Wilburys songs for sale, nevermind actually buying and downloading them.

I think what I will do is tell a very popular former coworker who is opening a new bookshop up the road in about a month about it.
??!! Where?

Up in Old Reisterstown. "Up the road" being very relative.

ah! I thought you meant up the road from your work and was going to have to get on the neighborhood new business gossip hotline pronto.
That's cool though!

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.
Popping back in after 4 month disappearance to say "Hi" to those who remember me (I've been lurking for a couple weeks trying to catch up). WOW! I think I missed nearly 3 whole Natter threads. And, Happy Birthday to Tom.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
People! (Not y'all) If I tell you everyone is booked, there is no way I can "just squeeze you in." I do not have anyone available. I cannot just conjure up another person to serve you. If I could, I'd have a stable of cabana boys by now.

And yay for Allyson! table displays are a good thing!
A group I belong to - for women associated with books in some way - had a meeting a while ago and while waiting for it to begin we were talking and the subject of web sites came up. I proudly announced that I knew of someone whose web site had developed into a book. Of course, they wanted to know what it was about and I said "internet fandoms". (long silence and puzzled faces) They were wondering how many fans of the internet there could be ... so I had to explain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, were you saying at some point that you'd been to Campbell Apartment? Trying to find a bar in the area.
I have been there. It's overpriced, but nice enough. Pershing Square across the street is less overpriced, but often full of tools. Not that Campbell Apartment isn't! There's also a Campbell Porch or some shit, outside the Apartment, with worse lighting and seats, and I don't know about the prices.
