Thanks for the birthday wishes y'all- I was able to get sufficiently motivated on Saturday to go to my friend's bachelorette thing, and get through it with only a little bit of anxiety.  (I didn't get her a present and everyone else did.)  (I suck at the present protocol.)  Even though it wasn't my party, I got a piece of cake and "happy birthday" sung to me!  I also had a manhattan.  Eesh.  OK, and a couple shots.  Double eesh.  And a hangover. Ah well, it was all in good fun.
Beers I drank this weekend- Two Brothers Bitter End Pale Ale, Victory's Hoptical Illusion, Ipswich Harvest Ale, Sam Adams Octoberfest.  Also sampled Tom's Session-Strength Saison Style ale.
	
 
		
		
Nora, I suck at the presents protocol too.  Also the appropriate tipping and card (birthdays, thank yous...) protocols too.
Glad you still had a decent time.
Ok, back to cleaning.
	
 
		
		
I'm glad your uncle is doing okay, omnis.
Yay, cake for Nora!
I have slight kyphoscoliosis that usually causes me no problems.  It only seems to manifest itself in two ways:  When the yoga teacher has to give me a little push over to mid-line and when I'm wearing a slip and it starts to spin and migrate over to the left side of me like the one I have on today.  At some point, it's inevitable that a student is going to catch me absent minded-ly re-adjusting here in my office.
	
 
		
		
DH is still holding out for Isle of Jura and Aberlour, but I figger I can lace his Crown Royal with a tot of honey and get the same effect for cheaper.
I've found Isle of Jura to be kinda salty, actually...
	
 
		
		
Hey there everyone.
I just finished talking to one of the creative guys here in Orlando and it looks like I might be getting a DVD project through him and he passed my name along on another Disney project he's involved in, among other projects.  Um, yeah, wow.
	
 
		
		
Wow. Go you!
(Hey - is there anything inparticular Joe needs to bring besides lawyers, guns, and money?)

Transmission in the Caprice went out yesterday. I had to drive the 50 miles back home in second gear.
Couldn't take the freeway, of course, as at maximum rev I could only get up to 45 MPH, and would not wish to sustain that. 
Taking the $50 minivan that Andi usually drives, even though it only has 4 of the 6 cylinders firing.
Oof.
Incidentally, there is a street in Plymouth, MN called Nathan Lane.
	
 
		
		
Like everything else, the hookers in LA are cheaper. He can get those when he gets there.
