It's my birthday. I'm in a temporary apartment in Mountain View. I was supposed to go home to San Diego and play poker with my wife and my friends, but I had to work today (and tomorrow).
I'm listening to Booker T & The M.G.s doing a cover of Day Tripper. I'm mostly through the last half of a bottle of 2001 Clos Du Bois Cabernet. I was writing a Python script for work, but now I'm cleaning a Star Model BM. I have a brace of fish sticks in the oven. Woo-woo.
Tracy and the poker crew just called in for B-day wishes, and that was awfully nice. I wish I was there with my wife and friends. I hope I didn't sound totally nonsensical on the phone, but my head has sort of been drawn inwards all night on this script I've been trying to write -- which has languished in the face of uneeded gun-cleaning.
No new work for me tonight I think.
nonsensical? naw...well, maybe a teeeeensy bit....

I hope the wine was wonderful. We'll celebrate again when P. & I fly down this summer.
Thanks, Suzi. Been a long and hard week.
Hang the B-day stuff. You and P come down this summer and hang out. Besides, look at all the comp time I've got built up already! :-)

Posted by E at May 4, 2005 10:38 AMI'm not a big fan of Star... my dad has one, and after a clip of rounds, the grouping goes all to hell. Maybe he just got a lemon.
Posted by e at May 4, 2005 10:47 AMI've never owned a Star, E. Shawn gave it to me for Xmas. It's pretty nice, though. Shoots a little to the left. I've read anecdotes about Star metallurgy not being the best around, and since they're no longer made soare parts can be har dto come by, but so far it's a nice little shooter.
