LAistas...

I don't know yet what days I'm actually going to be in LA next week...I probably will not get a chance to see everyone (and Nilly!!) until the San Fran BBQ...but then Cass and I will be driving back to LA on Sunday the 22nd some time, so I will be available for any Buffista gatherings on Monday the 23rd if anyone would like to see me. I don't leave until the 24th.

Just poking me head do say that there are some updates in Natter. And now I have to log off.

Cereal to add--

Jon, when you bring Nilly down from Boston to NYC, I'd be happy to use my Mystic Seaport passes if you two (you'd just be playing the part of Dave) would like to join me to check it out on the way. We'd have to make sure she had to-go Kosher goodies to eat, is all (Mystic is not exactly the best place to find it). It may be too hectic, but I wanted to offer since the seaport is so lovely and is the only living history museum dedicated to New England's maritime history that I know of.

Just an offer, no pressure!

At the airport in Providence, early, early Monday morning I had a security guard rearrange our line 3 times. First he wanted us angled one way, then another, then he got out the ropes and rearranged us again.

Made me think of Nilly. Lines to be proud of.

That would require driving down 95? Nuh-uh! t edit (although playing the part of Dave could bring benefits...)

Sturbridge, on the other hand, could work. Let's see if Nilly is interested.

Going back to Friday in SF, what are the people who aren't going south to feed the cats doing? Do we want to try to plan something?

During the day, you mean?

(Notice how I suggested nothing. I am an endless source of nothing.)

Nicole, is the plan for Thursday night still dancing?

Basically, people just need to tell me where to go and when, and I'll do it.

I have a Sturbridge membership -- I'll check to see if it is transferable. A Sturbridge visit would see me moving heaven and earth and signing over my first born to my boss to get a day off for. I'm a really excellent guide to the place -- Trudy can testify!

You wouldn't have to come down 95 at all, actually. Coming down 395, we could easily take a quick jog over to Mystic. It will especially be better since you'll be travelling on a weekday. Anyway, like I said, it was just a suggestion. It's just such a gorgeous place to visit with all the tall ships and such.

Sturbridge is also a great trip! Would you be doing that on Wednesday the 25th?

During the day Friday, we have spa visit hopefully late morning (JZ, names of the places near you, pleeeeeeeeeeease? So I can check on how many chairs they have?) After that, whatever people want to do is doable - shopping, lunch, whatever.

I'll try to get 'em at lunch today, Deb. Should you happen to be planning to drive anywhere today, you can check them out yourself -- one is right smack on the corner of 7th and Irving, just up the block from Black Oak Books, and I think has 4 or 5 chairs, and the other is what used to be Just Desserts on Irving near 10th and I think has a big long line of chairs.
