to party or not to party

Busy week and a half or so. Tuesday of last week, I went to the monthly Wilson Hi group at the newly opened Marie Callenders in Seal Beach, very edgy (in fact, it was mainly edges), youngster servers (trying to ace out us oldsters?), and really okay food (see? I'm truly excited). It was a good group this time: Renning, Soon, Silva, McDougal, Armstrong and me. Great conversation of the movie Ray, which we've yet to see, music and other stuff. And yeah, stuff is right, I got stuffed on half a Frisco, the other half for breakfast the next day.

The next day...I forget what the hell I did, same for the day after that. Oh, I know, on Wednesday, the Cropps came by for ribs and I found out how mainly Dave can chow down big time, with James as his trusty assistant. We had food, fun and watched then end of Chicago being destroyed on TV...bit of a let down ending we all agreed.

On Friday, we rested, because on Sat., Gene Aguilera and his woman Bertha came in for a WPMD interview. It went OK, nothing to write home, or here about. Next day at the OC Record Show, there was Aguilara and Bertha...good day...though it got very cold to the extent that both Jim and Mark S. got snowed in. Big time thunder the night before, Dorothy was really climbing everything she could find.

Sat., went to the Petkes and then to Ed Bell's - wow! Really nice night, good food, good conversation and it went sort of late. Glenn Banks, his Chinese friend KC and DK (not Chinese) were there...KC might be a good source for an IRiver mp3 player, has 40% off deal with co. he works for. Man and wife named Murphy, friend of Bell's, showed up later...apparently he's pretty high powered, investing in Ed's CD methinks.

Back on Ebay, made $416 on Pam Kellum...hope Patton is happy with $200, I think he should be...I would. Sent it to UK today. Overall, we made over $450 on Ebay with just 7 records, 5 of which sold, pretty good batting average.

Monday was an adventure. Took 850 to Russ's, got $200 worth of catchup work, but when I went to DMV, I found that Kafka still lives. They had sent me registration correction instructions that the office mgr. admitted couldn't have possibly been met. Got the registration on the spot. Very weird visit. Makes me wonder how many other car people go through similar hell courtesy the DMV. Good stuff for article tho.

On Tuesday, covered an LBCC job action with camera and Colonna's Belmont Shore office. Day before, Sylvia snapped the Gameplay location on Spring, all for Beachcomber stories.

Missed Dale's potluck on Sunday...just as well...it was cold and Sally was the turkey cooker. Posted more Ebay records today. Don't think it'll be three figures, but you never know. Look forward to tomorrow, turkey day.

Later gobbler, I mean gator.
