The guests, the venue, and the food were splendid. Chris Cassone and I bonded instantly. At the next table, I overheard him sing “I wanna be a lifeguard. . .” and I yelled “Blotto!” and he was shocked “You’ve heard of Blotto?”

The little Dell Inspiron Mini is mostly a good gadget. The touchpad is marginal. One wonders if an upgrade from Windows 7 Starter Edition might improve the joy.
Stacy and I both offered remarks:

We had a couple of cameras going. I’ve barely got time to push these to YouTube, so I’m we’ll let the comments be the judge of which has better sound/lighting.

City On A Hill
Take It Back
McCain Blues (16 Tons)

Hopefully we can get our zampolit, Young 4 Eyes, to show up at the next installment.

Today, Jeff Weimer and I are down to the Mall for further adventures. Stacy will no doubt fold in there, and Da Tech Guy is inbound. Everyone go to a local protest, take pictures, and get them posted somewhere. This is not flaking off. This is saving the country.

    1) What Joe said.

    2) ‘…the irrational exuberance of hanging around with Stacy McCain…’ Dead. Solid. Perfect.
