Monday’s Happy Thought

Just got this in email and it made me smile so I had to share! 🙂

One beautiful February day in 2005 a woman approaches the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where she’d been sitting on a park bench. She speaks to the U.S. Marine standing guard and says, “I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.”
The Marine looks at the woman and says, “I’m sorry, Ma’am, but Mr. Bush is
no longer president and no longer resides here.”
The woman says, “Okay” and walks away.

The next day, the same woman approaches the White House and says to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.”
The Marine again tells her, “Ma’am, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is
no longer president and no longer resides here.”
The woman thanks him and, again, walks away.

The third day, the same woman approaches the White House and speaks to the very same U. S. Marine, saying, “I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.”
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looks at the woman and says, “Ma’am, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I’ve told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand?”
The woman looks at the Marine and says, “Oh, I understand. I just love
hearing it.”

Now we all just have to figure out for ourselves what each of us can do to make this happen! 🙂

Happy Monday! 🙂

Crazy weekend

Another crazy but fun weekend… Friday night was anniversary night. Kevin and I went down to the Ferry Building and had oysters and beers before dinner and then went to Chaya for dinner which was really good. Was a very romantic evening walking along the water and spending time with my man.. I really enjoyed it.

Saturday was kind of work / chore day followed by dinner and, later that night I went out with Matt for drinks to honor Dore Alley Weekend. We both strapped on our gear (chaps in my case – leather in his case) and headed Out… Hit the Loading Dock followed by brief appearances at the PowerHouse and Mezzanine.

Today I spent most of the day with my friend John from college which was a lot of fun.. He and his wife came over for brunch with Kevin and I and then John came with Kevin, Matt, and I to Dore Alley Fair… He was quite the sport and I’m sure the fair was quite an experience for him… Its kind of funny how much the things at fairs like that don’t phase me these days.. Its only when I have stright friends with me that might be wierded out that I pay attention. But John was quite a sport and it was really nice hanging out with him…

Now I gotta get ready for another week of work.. Uggg..

The Daily Show

Was just watching one of the episodes of ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart‘ and he had one of his (many) priceless moments… Check out this clip. Something about a box turtle… I don’t know… but it was DAMN funny! 🙂

Happy Saturday! 🙂

Another packed weekend

Damn.. So its lookin like this coming weekend is going to be yet another action packed weekend. I shouldn’t really be complaining since its all fun stuff – but still. Just not sure when i’m going to make time to sit on my ass and be a vegetable..

Friday is Kevin and my Anniversary (5 years – woo hoo) so Friday night we’re probably going to be doing something coupley. After that I’ve got friends from colorado coming out and we’re probably going to either hang out with them or go over to the east bay to hang with some other friends… Saturday night plan is probably dinner with yet a different group of friends.. And then Sunday is Dore Alley Fair which is always fun and different. So that along with hanging out with John (from Colorado) and his lady will make for another full day..

Uggg… Looking forward to all of it but sounding a little exhausting to me… Maybe I should take Monday to recover… who knows…

Now back to work! 🙂

Blogon

Ok… Just read about this over here. I don’t know why but this kinda makes me sad. A conference on blogging.. I suppose it makes sense and its all fine but it just feels like mainstreaming and corpratizing of a kinda cool underground type thing. Not that big a deal really and probably inevitable.. But it kinda makes me long for the days when all of this technology was moved forward by folks who did things they thought were cool rather than cuz it made good business sense. Suppose that dates me huh?

Ah well.. I’ll shut up… 😉
