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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was at the bookstore and I overheard some dad rambling on about the English language to his daughter culminating in him saying:

"Snoop Dogg added a lot of words to the English language. A lot of people don't know that, but it's true."

To which I thought, but did not say: "Fo-shizzle."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So today I finally went for a long enough drive that I could install the Microsoft update to my car's infotainment center. (Just like a typical MS update--took 50 minutes and required numerous rebooting.) And it still has some problems with my iPhone. Oh well. Next I need to bring it to a dealer to have software updates for the transmission and ABS brakes. I don't think Microsoft did that software.

ita ! Do you feel the love? :)

Also, LAistas, I'm in LA all next week (get in Monday night, leave Friday afternoon). Will likely have dinner with my boss Tuesday, but free Mon, Wed, Thurs... if anyone wants dinner. Of course, I will also be back, repeatedly. :)

ita, glad to see you back! K asked me if I wanted to have lunch with you sans children, but I wasn't sure you were up to it. Or that she is, frankly.

meara, I'd love to see you. Where in LA will you be?

Kat, the first night I have to head to Valencia (but I get in around 4pm, so have plenty of time to do so), and then Tuesday through Friday I'm in Santa Monica. But I'll have a car.

I’d love to see you, meara! I have time Thursday if that’s a possibility. Would love to see you too, Kat. It’s been ages.
