Putting on the Ritz

No, it's not the Ritz-Carlton, it's the Clovis Hampton Inn.

Note the amenities! Will I need these? Is this a good sign?


So this is me, missing you, but having some ear-plugs, in Clovis, New Mexico. The good news: I'll see you tomorrow! Now that makes to drive to Albuquerque a little more bearable.

Clovis is a town of 42,213. Having seen the town, I'm not looking to make it a town of 42,214.

I'm looking forward to coming home.

Missing You

This is me missing you in Alamogordo, New Mexico.


Their gym was nice and all, but it's cold comfort.

"L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back

Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more."

Girl, who else would quote Neil Diamond to you at midnight?

Home is where the heart is, and that makes mine San Antonio for what used to be two, but is now three reasons. And I don't like to be away.

Your Michael

It's only ten?

Good googaloo!

A coworker of mine (who you may recognize) and I are amazed that it's only ten am. This class is interminable! And, they closed the snack bar because no one is in this whole enormous building! You could make a really creepy film in this place - all of this space and chairs and computers and such, and no people.

I think we should start doing the Times crossword puzzle together. You'll have to bring it over from your place, as it will start showing up there soon.


What else? I've got nothing for now.

Toodles.

Stellar Class

Hey, Scientist Lady!

A co-worker (who you may recognize) and I are in a class that is so exciting, it elicits outbursts like the one shown below. Jealous?




She described the class as a "public access channel show hosted by Ben Stein". She has a way with words, no?

Toodles,

Your favourite barrista

Hello to you, scientist lady, from Michael and Kat

Hello, Scientist Lady!

Kat and I are beginning our film career this evening. I think that her future might lie in front or behind the camera, but I've surely got a face made only for radio.

Here's our first feature film. See what you think.




Kat is keenly interested in setting up the aquarium, so I told her that Friday might be a evening to do a little work on it.

See if your schedule permits.


Toodles!

Hey, Scientist Lady

Hey, Carrie! Here's a picture of you!

Plans for Thursday?

Hey, Scientist Lady:

Kat says, "Take a picture of me in this shirt of yours I've fixed, and you can show it to the scientist lady.

I say, "Fixed?"

She says, "Just take the picture!"

So here's this shirt of mine she's modified with a pair of scissors to reflect her own artistic sensibilities.



New subject: when I went to Eddie's choir performance, in which he did not perform but drank wine in the audience with me, there was a musician featured who sounded pretty good.

Now, I know you've seen everyone and their brother in concert. But, if you haven't heard of this lady or seen her as yet, she's going to be performing this Thursday at a little place called... dramatic pause... Soleil Wine Bar & Bistro on Blanco Road!

Isn't that near your second residence / summer home?

It's from 8:30 'till 11:00, and I'd like to see if you're free to go. I've arranged to host my guys until about seven or so, and then be off-duty. So we could go, try the food and music, and see what we think.
