Oh, How I have missed you DU lounge....

Last edited Thu Aug 4, 2016, 04:41 PM - Edit history (1)

I have been on a Kerouac/H.S.T. style trip for the last 4 years, and the interwebs were more than a luxury...
but I have missed my favorite lizards (plus I'm a bit too weird for GD)

BTW, is My Dear Californiapeggy still here?!!!???
That's a brand of Pure Serenity that has guided me out of the trench more than thrice.

That being said, Ive missed you all....
and I'm Back in the D.C. area again, because I feel the calling......

...and I love politics more than baseball (Go Nats!)
GO HILLARY! <= I'm With!

but It's working title is: "would you like spit with that? a practical guide to dinning out in America"

I'm afraid my travels wont be published until I'm sure the statute of limitations have passed, and I'm sure the names have been changed to protect the........ well, you get the idea

the book isn't a derogatory take on the restaurant industry.....far from it...its more of a derogatory look at its patrons (yes, I'm probably looking a you, readers, because your not as kind or funny as you think)

Sounds like you may have some interesting stories for us.

Don't expect the same ole lounge. We evolve. Except for the disco ball and hot tub. That's still here.

I'm still here, and thank you for the very kind words!

I've had some major, MAJOR stressors since you've been gone: major joint replacements, nasty falls, trips abroad, and the death of my dear friend WCGreen.

But I can still be serene from time to time...........I'm still here for my good friends.
