Updates, Whereabouts, and Rumors

Hi, kids!

Been away from the blog, out of town on profession-related activities. Spent a couple of days over in western Colorado, sampled and bought some wines from Two Rivers (a Chardonnay and Port) and Carlson (Riesling). They await consumption in the wine fridge.

Related, but of little interest I suspect, is that I dined at an Italian/Vietnamese restaurant, which also happened to serve a nice curry chicken dish. On the way back, my colleague and I paid a visit to the Gore Range Brewery, where the beer (Powder Day Pale Ale) was tasty, the food (burger with pepperjack and onion straws) quite edible, and one of the waitresses (blonde) wore riding pants, which - hey - no complaints here.

(I'd have mentioned the way she had her dish towel tucked into the back of her pants like a tail, and then referred to her as a hot little filly, but that would sound sexist, and no sexist am I, no sir, bite your tongue!)

Some of you have noticed that 100 Words of Les Nessman is no longer in my blogroll, and that I'm not listed over there as a contributor. 'Tis true, 'tis true. I opted to drop out for personal reasons, a decision to not be associated with a particular individual. However, please do continue to stop by to read Michele and Laurence.

And last, but by no means least, thanks to reader Michael for hitting the tip jar in my absence, even if it was to force me to buy C.S. Lewis books. I actually was going to get them from the library, but this way I'll be able to mark them up, make notes in margins, etc. I anticipate reporting back on it sometime in October at this rate.

Uh, if anyone else wants to hit the ol' tip jar, I wouldn't complain. Of course, I write for you because I love the game, man! I do it for the people!

OK, must go play catch up now for work. And I have a cold. And I want to be asleep. The end.
