    So Long, Farewell...

    Hope to see you back soon, but focus on what you need to!

    What's your least favorite chore?

    Cat boxes here too, although the smell, should I procrastinate, often drives me to do it. Dusting isn't big on my list, but based on how dusty everything was when we moved, it should be. I don't mind vacuuming too much.

    silk ribbon - why not?

    I was under the impression that silk can show water spots if it gets wet (that is, after it drys).

    Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk

    As for myself, I get a bit happy, and more outgoing. Then I tend to get sleepy. Unfortunately, I recently got to test my limits when I got stuck in Bozeman, Montana on a business trip. Our flight back got canceled, but a helpful fellow passenger pointed out that the first annual microbrew fest...

    Fedora Lounge infiltrated my dreams!

    I dunno - it would be too tempting to use the power not for good, but for…uh, better? :o I very rarely remember my dreams nowadays.

    Hats in size 7 5/8??? HELP!

    Hey, if she gets a good hat, that's excellent bait! ;) I feel the pain for looking for vintage (also a 7&5/8), but should be easy to order a modern one on-line, if you can't find one locally.

    Styleforum Mean-Spiritedness

    Interesting discussion. Strikes home to me, as I certainly do wear "costumes" at times. The general term to describe my wife's hobby is "costumer". She sews fantasy and historical garments. I do SCA (medieval dress up and camp out) as a hobby. They are pretty particular about calling their...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Wow. I'm in the camp of hating much of the clothes, but every decade does have it's good points. I hated Disco at the time, but I think a large part of that was overexposure. I like hearing some of it now. There was some good mainstream music in the 70's. I find I can happily listen to it...

    Sure it's black, but it's a potentially unworn Barbisio in 7 5/8!

    Nice. I was eyeballing it, but I'm a little busy packing and moving currently to really watch the ebay auctions.

    Where do you hang your hat?

    Hey, he's at a diner counter. Perfectly acceptable to leave you hat on. I tend to look around for empty seats, shelves, pegs, or whatever. I also carry around a lanyard/clip setup - I haven't been able to pick up a ready made one, so I made one myself. A badge clip with the ends straightened...

    Just finished this hat for a customer

    Ahh, but will he wear it fore and aft, or athwartships?

    What Were You Like As A Teen?

    Hmm, good question. Early teens, Jr. High School - fairly introverted and shy, plenty nerdy. Did some standard geek hobbies - D&D club, fencing. 70's feathered hair. Had already been reading Sci-Fi and playing board wargames due to my brothers influence. Middle and late teens - High...

    How do you cope when unemployed?

    Well, think of it as you've just traded jobs. Your new job is to find a new job. Seriously, I think one of the biggest problems I have had in jobless periods is being a bit slack in networking, job hunting, and the like. It is true that most of my jobs have been via folks I know, but it's...

    modern things you haven't experienced

    Hmm, I love technology in general, so there's not too much for me to report. I did avoid cell phones for quite some time, but my boss finally offered me one with the right price plan (free), and it has been handy. But day to day, I'm an iPod / Wii / PC / Mac / Linux / Palm / Tivo using geek...

    Heh heh! (quietly removes tape recorder and sneaks out the back)

    Ver-ah nice! And the next one looks promising!

    Any progress?

    Indeed, issue #2 showed up here yesterday as well. Good timing, as I'm moving in a few weeks!

    Shooting on Virginia Tech campus

    It certainly is very, deeply tragic, and my thoughts go out to the families. But… It's headline news, in part, precisely because it's rare (and thank goodness). It IS a terrible, saddening evet, and we can learn from it - but I hope we (as a society) can keep level headed about these type of...
