This coming weekend

Alex is off to his week to 10 days with Emmy on Friday. Three weeks ago my mom calls to tell me that SW Airlines will not let a 10 yr old fly unaccompanied. The orginal plans were for the big guy to fly from Here to Las Vegas where my mom or brother would meet him and finish the journey. Same thing back 10 days later.

OK new plan.

So I am flying off on Friday to the Left Coast for a whirlwind 3 day fete. Primarily will be my Godson Sebastian's 1st birthday. In movies of my first birthday I barfed on a spinning top. Hopefully Sebastian will be more photogenic as any big get together with my family is less a reunion than a Photo Op... Btw Myself. MW. Greg Aston and others there are usually more cameras clicking and whirling than not.

I fly out on Friday, return on Sunday. Thats the whrilwind.

The worst thing about this whole weekend (and there is VERY little to complain about here by the way) is that my original "intel" was as bad as Bush's. I was under the impression for MONTHS that Alex was flying out LAST weekend. The problem is that I cancelled out of seeing my brother in laws big 40 while operating under the assumption of the wrong weekend. Collateral damage of bad Intel. I guess I know what Bushy feels like. No I take that back.. I actually have a brain. Also my mess up on weekends got my dearest friend cjwrites all excited about a renezvous for breakfast at the Beach Chalet, and alas the proper weekend wouldnt work out.

So the good and the bad. The yin and yang. But that's what life is all about eh?

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
