1. [color:green]VACATION.[/b][/color] Orlando for $230 roundtrip, meeting up with M*** (he's got a show at Back Booth - any 'Strutters going?), chillin' in D-World (my ex, S*r*, manages a restaurant in Epcot so I get in free), hopefully meeting up with the OG ChaseCrusher (how far is Tallahasee?) and mostest importantliest, GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF MY JOB FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. Escape! I need a break.(Orlando area 'Strutters: PM ME!)2. [color:green]E-Z-$[/b][/color] My DJ partner hooked up a gig at the mall spinnin' some modeling shit for Seventeen magazine. Tre bills for a 2 hr set playing nothing but clean versions of all the latest jams. Cake.3. [color:green]Success-N-Effect[/b][/color] Lil' sis was accepted to nursing school while my lil' brother turned down a $90k scholarship from Tulane to attend law school at Berkeley. Damn, they're making me look bad. Where did I go wrong?4. [color:green]Going Out Of Business sales[/b][/color]Robinson's-May got bought out by Macy's. Normally I wouldn't give a damn, but with $225 cashmere sweaters selling for 30 bones, you KNOW I had to snatch up a couple! Worked out well, too, 'cause the past 2 weeks or so have been "winter" in Tucson. I just wish I would've heard about the sale sooner.5. Damn, that's some sad ass shit when I can't think of a number 5 and I'M the one who started the thread. Even #4 was a stretch. Pootery. I need a change of pace.Herm

    Seriously? I tried it for a while but it didn't fit me. Handling one-shots
    is a mess. I've switched back to acid. But it's cool to hear that people are
    able to produce fire in it. Maybe I'll give it another try.

    Congratulation! With the kid AND his smiling. Mine is 21 months and he lately picked up saying "OH SHIT" all the time. Plus when I'm out on the streets with him he points around saying "MEISJES!"

    Thanks! It's been sunny most of the week and we all feel so much better...the brightness makes a HUGE difference.

    Dude, it's just upstairs, but there was so much crap here accumulated for 10 years, that it was the biggest chore. It's a smaller office, so we were forced to get rid of a lot of stuff - this is a good thing. Anyway. It's almost done.

    You already act like a big shot, but yes, you can sit in my chair. And yes, you can get lunch, if you go out to the local spot and order something.

    Why not, I need to cram as much travel as I can before the folks start screaming for some grandchildren. Apparently kitties don't count.

    1. - 5. I know living in warm climes has its advantages, but there is nothing like the arrival of warm Spring weather after a Canadian winter (though this one was very mild). Still, the smell of the air, the different feel of the sun, the hyacinths, crocuses, daffodils and tulips at the corner stores, the elevated moods, the girls in their smart, new outfits, the buds on the trees.... sigh .


    It's lovely and wonderful.
