Well, I've got a one day trip to Dallas planned, compliments of IBM. It's
an all day Microsoft developers summit. Too bad we don't have any Dallas
springeurs that I can think of right now.

for a whole week they'll train you how to
obtain the clothes of your favorite writers?
I'll be flying right underneath your jet in my self-propelled glider (when
I pedal the pedals, it makes the wings flap)
I'll be back on the 25th (I'll need another day to get from Denver to Austin since my glider won't be able to crest no more on the air currents of a big fat jet)
I hope they put some extra effort into showing me how to nick Nick's
clothes all the way from San Ramon (remote nicking)....sounds like a pretty fun class cuz I only got 2 sweaters layin' around and I low on bright multicolored socks
I bet whenever I do ever read any your poems, Stace, I'll feel uncontrollable urges to nab your afghan......sometimes I drool myself to sleep thinkin' what it'd be like to sneak peeks in your journal while tryin' on yer

lots of tight shirts with my 38 triple D bazongas hanging out!
Actually I dressed rather smart-like and brought along a couple o blazer/jacket thingamajigers to wear with slacks.
The whole event ended up being pretty casual and everyone wore jeans on the last day
A really excellent trip...
I was offered a job (and wasn't even looking!) by the class instructor!
I learned a lot and enjoyed the humidity immensely.
I drove over the Bay Bridge, wandered around Golden Gate Park, the Science museum, the Haight and the Castro districts.
I ate Fabulous food everywhere I went and had a blast with the public transportation.
I stayed w/ B's brother and sister in law for the weekend and they had quite the soiree last night!
I met lots of new people and saw lots of new things.
The area was physically beautiful and it felt good too!

okay so it's not MY business we're traveling for but...
the next trip is "dragging" us to Berlin, Germany for one week, Prauge the next and then off to Venice and Milan and possibly Zurich before flying home from Munich!
Ahhh... what a life! I'm quite excited!
Not sure what I'll find to eat in Germany but friends have pointed out... "Who needs to eat, you've got liquid bread!"
anyway, I'll take tons of pictures and scan them in when I get back!

We're gonna walk around, maybe meet some superstar-appreciators, and try to make it to a local radio called FSK. Visit a radio show, do some chatting, play some stuff, etc. (if we ever make it on time, that is...). Friday afternoon to Sunday morning - does that count?

To quit a job because you don't like it anymore, can't bear seeing that face again, hate even the bathroom's tiles, whatever - without a better offer in sight! Wow!
Well, I don't think about your cooking - pure lack of experience; but from hints around this place, possibly there's a reason behind that honorific "KitchenManager"...
What do you enjoy more, serving nasty and ignorant eaters and having sore feet, or serving nasty and overexpectant clients and getting a flat butt from sitting all day (with bad eyes to match)?

au contraire WER...
the samples of your culinary expertise were fantastic
HOWEVER, it just seems that finding a comfortable (nurturing?) environment where you can also express your chef talent will be rather difficult to find.
And, one added element (thta I would not have added until 6 months ago) better money helps. More travel, less worry. I'm not at all suggesting choosing money over happiness. I am merely suggesting that a new learning curve, in an environment where you've shown talent and interest, might compensate you more fairly both with its working conditions and financial rewards.
And, as I have ALWAYS said... life is to short to spend it being unhappy. Find something that makes you happy!

Thanks! No, I really did. I was 4 months pregnant, so I decided it was going to be no use getting married in white - it would just be a farce. So I did it in red instead; then again I had no parents here who could tell me what to wear. When Mum saw the photos she phoned, and there was a long long silence, then she said: 'Well, at least you're not hypocritical about it - you're pregnant, aren't you?'
ha--ha! At least I could not possibly have looked 'stranger' than Chris - he wore his kilt, showing ALOT more leg than I did!

Hey! I do not like her from this far away for treating you like that! I guess that is what you meant when you once wrote that you had two sets of out-laws?!
They do not deserve you, My Dear! Or your precious daughters!

Another biznes trip to Hamburg coming up - no radio show this time, but a big party on Saturday. The DJs of Hamburg's Get Country & Rhythm night - always on the first Saturday of the month at a club called Knust - invited superstar up, as they are great supporters and friends of our mag, contributors or friends of good friends.
So they invited superstar to co-host this time - Get Country & Rhythm presents: Meet your superstar inna barn!
We'll have Hank Ray (of The Raymen fame) on stage, also Peta Devlin (of Die Braut haut ins Auge) performing with our autheur extraordinaire Hank McCoy (formerly Columbus, Ohio and there with the Dead Ringers on OKra Label and then the OKra All-Stars - now living in Cologne and writing our country column) and a bunch of friends (normally together with Peta D. Hamburg's new country band Cow - featuring members of Die Sterne and Die Goldenen Zitronen).
And the Get Country...-folks will DJ. I expect it to be very late when the place finally closes...
It'll be good to meet these folks again, as we often exchange mails, work together, talk on the phone, but rarely meet in person. And some of the people involved are, I thwear, really some of the nicest people around!
The editors will cruise up there Friday or Saturday, maybe shop for records or something to wear, or hit a fleamarket on Sunday before driving off into the sunset, either by train or car (not decided yet).

Now I'm jealous. You will not miss having not been in Austin for SWSX weekend (or did I get it backward?). Enjoy! And be safe....

Well - courtesy of the current batch of flu, we'll only drive up on Saturday with a colleague and back on Sunday by train.
Marcia, you're right - that'll be major fun, but SXSW... That's something special, a chance to get to see stuff that doesn't tour over here, and to discover the coming and happening bands, the stories for the next year. A great place to preview acts, so you can already have a story in store when their stuff gets released here. And everybody sez it's so much fun, too!
And I won't get to shop for records on my trip, perhaps fleamarket on Sunday. But hey, many good friends!

Seniors Save Up To 70% Off Lowest Excursion Airfares Through Sept. 30, 2000
Seniors, you don't have to settle for the small 10% discount most airlines
offer--you can save up to 70% off the lowest excursion airfares. Even
better--a
companion of any age can travel for the same price. So, pack up your
grandchildren, your own children, your spouse or a friend and take
advantage of
these very Best Fares .
Seniors hold more clout than any demographic group of travelers. Most not
only have the leisure time and dollars to enjoy travel; they are among the
most
savvy travelers in existence. Seniors have lived long enough to form a
large
network of family and friends who are likely to be spread across the
country,
and we want to get you all back together for as many visits as you like.
We work hard to bring great travel deals to all Bestfares.com members,
but
we are particularly pleased to present some terrific deals for seniors
(age 62
and above), valid for travel through September 30, 2000. You can go coast
to coast for $239 or travel between dozens of
cities for as little as $75 roundtrip.
- The extended travel periods and small number of blackout dates make
these fares very accommodating for travel plans far in the future. Seniors
can scoop up bargains for months of business trips (for those not yet
enjoying retirement), vacations or getaways.
- Seniors can show their kids how savvy they've become by pointing out
these
airfare gems. (There is nothing wrong with a gentle hint.) If you have
children
in their 40s planning a trip to Hawaii and expecting to pay $740 for each
ticket, tell them about our $414 airfares. Using the senior/companion of
any
age purchase, four tickets cost as little as $1,656. The two-ticket price
without the senior deal would be $1,480. For only $176 more, four people
get to
travel.
- Grandparents can enjoy one of the most enjoyable experiences in
life--a
trip with a favorite grandson or granddaughter with sights to see and time
just
for the two of you.
- Senior couples can enjoy a romantic trip to the city they lived in
when
they first fell in love, the romance of San Francisco or a beautiful
mountain
cabin or condo in Colorado.
- Adult children and grandchildren can send their parents and
grandparents
to visit friends or relatives, check out the theater scene in New York or
relax
on the sunny beaches of Florida or Hawaii.
- You can even use these deals for family travel, with one discount
ticket
available for every senior ticket purchased. If you've been longing to
spend
more time with your parents (there is no better gift you can give them),
pick
up two pairs of tickets and see the country together.
Pick your favorite groups of fares and click on the links below for full
details. The cheapest fares are generally available for Monday through
Thursday
travel with a modest surcharge for travel on weekends. Keep in mind that
seats
can be limited and booking as soon as possible helps assure that you get
the fare and travel dates you want.

Whic is better, http://www.cheaptickets.com or http://www.bestfares.com ?
I like these sites much better than the pricelines where you have to guess the rice, I don't want to guess the price and leave money on the table even if they do have William Shattner hamming it up at psuedo events.

Cannot stand the Shatner ads. Terrible! I imagine both of these would be a good place to check - and the latter especially if one is older than 62 (do people really live to be that old?!)
