Hi, Vision! Welcome back. Did you have a good time away?

[Vision]

Hi Gina, thanks, was in Belize for a few days. Had a fantastic time.

How are you all?

[Calvin Locke]

Ah, Candy Matson. Long before “867-5309/Jenny” put an end to “real” telephone numbers in the “arts”.

San Francisco must have been pagan even in the 1940s, using Jack Frost, the personification of Winter, in lieu of Santa Claus.

[Vision]

Hi, I was thinking the same thing about SF but am waiting to hear the program.

[WXRGina]

Oh, very cool! I’m glad it was excellent!

We’re doing fine, enjoying nice weather today, though cold is on the way.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks.

[Calvin Locke]

IIRC, Candy has a very effeminate sounding friend, Rembrandt, a photographer, that helps out on occasion.

As opposed to her BF, who is a police detective, more likely an inspector, given the homicides she gets involved in.

[WXRGina]

Hi, Viking! You have an empty nest yet?

[Vision]

What’s new?

[Viking2002]

Well, the Lead Squatter has a job now. Not sure what it is; I don't care what it is. Probably of some marginally-honorable, menial jod description. It's apparently through whatever network of G.E.D. alumni they're loosely associated with. (God forbid you can't take the initiative and go find some honorable means of self-sufficiency on your own. It's one thing to be a millenial Pajama Boy, it's another to be a millenial redneck with the same set of standards but half the education. Instead of a fleece onesie, he walks around in lounging pants with half his ass crack airing out, no shirt, his gut and man-boobs sagging, and carrying around a Natural Light instead of hot chocolate.) The one good thing about them being trailer park peckerwoods is, I discovered that they were using the bed of the truck to throw their ever-increasing mountain of self-generated trash in it, to the point where it's not driveable until the bed is emptied, or it would get pulled over for creating a traffic hazard. I just told Connie, they generate more bags of garbage in one weekend than we generate in two weeks, so that truck isn't moving until it's all emptied. Most of it isn't even bagged, for God's sake. Which means he has to carpool. They avoid me like the Black Plague at this point.

Another bit of good news: I finally got my hearing date for February, but now I gotta wait until they reschedule because the lawyer has cases scheduled through another office that day. I told his Girl Friday I want to know by the END OF THE YEAR if this is going to push my date back or reset the clock altogether, because I'll find other legal representation who will escalate this to the federal level. I have no idea why it is being adjudicated through the Wilkes-Barre, PA office to begin with.

You are the dave barry of Alabama!

[golux]

Excellent program this evening!

[Viking2002]

I would prefer to be the Dave Barry of West Virginia or, more specifically, the H.L. Mencken of the Blue Ridge, if I get my way.

I plan on being up in Cumbersome next Sunday evening, assuming all things remain status quo. (And I needn't remind you of the ramifications of ASSUMING.) The duration of my stay will be incumbent upon the state of the weather, the schedule of my buddy in NoVA, the behavior of the gargoyles down here in the cathedral, and where my mother's mental state is on the Batshit-Crazy-O-Meter. Most people just get in their damn cars and drive home for a few days to see relatives they don't even like. I gotta navigate a damn anti-matter universe just to use the john.

[Vision]

lol. You’re in good form tonight.

[Viking2002]

Ask me again why I'm just a little bit 'off'.
