Disgorged Matter?

On our way out of town, within seconds of driving away from Echo (ECHO?), we noticed an odor quite similar to the one that hovered in the kitchen that one day. At first we believed that, oh no, it had been one of us all along--my God, we brought a vomitty smell with us! Then, after the odor dissipated (as if it had been lingering in the air around the car, had been sucked into the circulation system, and then had blown away once we left the area), we concluded that Gock must have been correct: icky, scary bile gas of some unusual sort floats around Fletcher Place!

Three video links, because I'm in a giving mood

Had a great holiday weekend

Thanks for everything, everybody. I was pretty much the poster child for this:



























It was fuckin' great.

Something To File Away For A Much Later Date

Never too early to start on that underground bunker you always dreamed of building.

Current Happiness Quotient at ECHO

Will somebody tell me how to put a clickable link in the title? or show me at thksgvg.
Everything is cool here. Yesterday a retiree dinner. Mostly, lots of stuff to do every day in and on the house. And no end in sight. I'm lovin' it. G & GT here on weekends a lot, work on house moving along, new washer, new cable internet connection, mostly lots of distractions daily and upstairs will be there later. Got video from Agatha. Thanks. Looking forward with happy anticipation to the rest.

That's My Line

What a great find. Our favorite ownage in TV history.

The Magnificient Six?

I find it particularly annoying that reports and graphics almost always list the current Independents as Democrats. Aren't they, in fact, not alligned with any party?

With Independent Bernie Sanders taking over Jim Jeffords Senate seat, and Gleeber Man defeating his former fellow Democrat Lamont--and assuming the Dems are miraculously awarded Virginia and Montana--they'll still hold no majority. Technically that honor stays with the GOP by a Chewney tie-break at 49-49. Granted, Sanders, a reported Socialist, would vote with the Democrats as Jeffords did, but contrary to what the pundits say, Gleeber Man is not to be counted on.

What does this do to chairmanships and the like is what I wunner bout?

Hey, Ortega is back in business! Sandinista Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional!

Rent Rocks (a weekend in a downtown city)

Saturday:
3PM: While looking at movie listings, considering the possibility of seeing one, I mention that RENT is showing across the street. I assume GT wouldn't qualify to see it. GT says she may, G affirms it. We go online; there is a show at 4PM. GT thinks we should drive. And worries that we are not dressed appropriately. I don't care. P's old red sweat pants, a Purdue sweatshirt, black Reboks, a bushy head of uncombed hair; this seems to me perfect RENT. It is.
We get tix in the 10th row center on the floor, fabulous wonderful seats.
Okay, I was going to go on and on and on about all the cool details of this experience, but I just told them to OML on the phone and now they have been expressed and are out of me.
However, it was a great, memorable happening from conception to review and I told GT she had to remember it forever. P & G watched tv or whatever and when we got back we ordered in Chinese and for a while there I was living Seinfeld and Mad About You.
The set was created like my kind of art, with junk and trash and lights and shadows and the musicians were on stage and visable and the sound was great and...oh well, maybe you needed to be there. And we got t-shirts. "NO day but today" on the back of mine sold me.
There was a bar in the lobby, just like in old Broadway theater movies.
WEll, I had a good time. So did GT.
GT spent the night and G picked her up at 9A and they will be back later to watch the Colts with P...and me.

Thanksgiving will be at ECHO, as will we all

We move to ECHO next Wednesday, 11/08/06. The movers are scheduled.
Shower in, floor down. Plumbing incomplete, but should be done by then.
Tower notified. Need to get a letter from P's doc to break lease & get $ back.
Work on ECHO still in progress, but the time has come.
Now I gotta change all those addresses again, Yuck.

A few from the funeral weekend

KOF and JoJo were good enough to provide some photographic evidence of the weekend's proceeding. Because Blogger is being persnickity about uploading them inline, I've uploaded many of them to flickr.

Thanks for sending them, JoJo!
