There is a chance I’ll be meeting David Byrne in the next half hour or so for a demo at out scene shop.

Cool beans!

Zazie was delicious as usual, but as a bonus we were seated next to a young, romantic couple traveling together for the first time (to SF from SLC). He was originally from Rochester (where Tracey hails) and that opened a conversation with them which was really fun.

We walked them down to Haight Street and I showed them Borderland Books where we took our leave.

They looked well connected and were both in that stage of life where they wanted marriage and kids and I could see it in front of them. A blessing on the heads of Kristen and Brian.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Cool!

My father's parents both naturalized a couple years before he was born, but their paperwork would definitely set off some automatic flags if it were ever run through a computer system -- his parents both experimented a bit with new "American" names (think like Wilhelm becoming Wallace, or things like that where the names aren't direct cognates), and they've got records using both names at different times.

Oh, aurelia, I hope that happened!

Miss Kitty is determined to teach me all the keyboard shortcuts. I can apparently lock my keyboard for cleaning, who knew? I don't know how to do it, but I know it can be done. And I very much appreciate that doing so puts a message telling you how to unlock it again on screen!

Ha! No kidding! Clever kitty.

That’s good design that it tells you how to unlock!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I did indeed meet David Byrne! My team got to make him dizzy with mirror balls.

Tomorrow should be the announcement that will explain why he is here. Tom Morello and the Governor will be there too.
