I'm too old for this. Apparently. 
| | When we go on trips I sometimes hide my backup drive — a little 60Gb FireWire number, not much bigger than a cassette tape box — in a drawer or someplace. |
| | Now I can't find it and it's driving me nuts. |
| | [Later... I found it. Had to patiently retrace my steps, and think again... exactly what was I doing when... ? It worked, but I felt like I was in brain damage rehab, reacquainting myself with the formerly obvious.] |
Ride on
| | Craig took time off from his blog, and pretty much everything else, to run Twelve Horses. Last week he climbed off the saddle, and nwo he's back on his blog again. |
Have no party fear
| | Last night I was standing in the vast foyer of the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara, dressed as a nun, complete with a string of rosary beads the size of eyeballs, like the one the giant atop Jack's beanstalk would have used if he were Catholic. I was there to secure good seating at the "Sing-Along Sound of Music" event, which was a hoot. |
| | Naturally a photographer from the local paper spotted me and insisted on shooting a picture. Being a good former newspaper reporter and photographer, as well as a former PR guy who hasn't lost his chops, I said "Come on across the street. I've got the rest of my family over there, including my wife, the Baroness, and my kid, Friedrich." We also had our friend Susan Camusi, a former Hollywood costumer dressed as Heidi (or, as she put it, "an extra."). |
| | The result is a vast above-the-fold picture on the front page of this Morning's Santa Barbara News-Press — and on the paper's Web site's front page too. Unfortunately, you have to be a subscriber to the paper to see the whole story. I hate that. The SB News-Press, like all other papers, would be worth more if its archives were exposed to the world by the Web. It's sales value rounds to nil. |
