Grumby & Co

I am still speaking to you from Dave's computer, but it's basically my fault.

When I packed for this trip, one of the things I didn't stop to think about was access to a land line. It's easy enough from the Mo 6, but a private residence with a broadband setup is quite another matter.

I brought nothing with me computerwise except the six foot phone cord that came with it.

I did manage to find where they've got their telephone plugged in, though. It's in the kitchen.

So. I am able to gerrymander things so that if I move their dish-drainer and plug my computer in over the garbage disposal, I can log in, if I don't mind standing up in the kitchen, near the back door.

Since I do happen to mind this, I'm electing to stay here over at Dave's desk and use his stuff.

I admit to being a lazy bastid about this.

Cero's was interesting last night, and fun, too. The costumes were all great, the atmosphere was fun, and I have come to discover that once another musician knows you are one, too -- they'll not only listen to what you've done, but they'll let you listen to stuff they're working on, too.

Dave Kern, the bassist, just happened to have a song he was working on in his PDA for me to hear, and it's pretty good. When it's in its final form, it's gonna be dynamite.

Here was what I wore at the bar last night, and here's Dave, too:

Tonight, I get to go meet some friends of Dave's that he met through the Orange County Gamers section on Meetup. We're bringing Pente for me to set up, and we'll see how many people we can get to participate at once.

Unless of course I find some other game I'd rather play.

Other than one phase of Risk-playing with John about a decade ago, I haven't gamed for more than twenty years on a regular basis, so this will be interesting.

All rightie, there you go. Have a good Sunday, dears!
