Just an Excitable Board

Grrrrrr...not only is the faucet broken, the hair dryer doesn't work, either.

I forgot to mention that not only do my brother's cats like me, Charlene's Grania came over to me yesterday for some tickling. I've rarely gotten to pet her through the years - this was *very* special!


Oooh..it's a grey day. Perfect for a Zevonish time.

-- Lucy, off to the Boutique Hotel's "Continental Breakfast." sheesh. I hope I don't accidentally get a jelly doughnut, like last year. I thought it'd be Bavarian Cream. Man, was THAT a surprise. I felt like Elvis.

We never did play Zevonopoly. Pict-Zevon-Ionary was fun and we played two rounds of ClueZ. Eileen/Desperada won the first one and Charlene won the second. GREAT show, Lippy! Thanks for being there in spirit!

Peggy walked with me to the A&P, where I bought SIX bottles of U-Bet Chocolate Syrup to make egg creams at home.

I don't know if the rest of the clan ever got to the Sunrise Diner - I went there for a late lunch on Friday.

I left around 1:30 and just checked in to my hotel in Delaware. Tomorrow, it's A Day at the Races. I only took two wrong turns. Saw some interesting things before I found my way back to the roads I was supposed to be on.

We didn't take many photos; the subjects of the photos protested mightily about how icky they look...all except Grania, who was too stoned on catnip to care. Peggy grows some GOOD stuff.

I'm sure Scooter will love hers when I get it home to her. She gets the dried 'nip. Grania got the fresh.

I'll be looking forward to reading about your road trip.

Thanks to all who came -- we had a really good time. And thank you Lippy; your performance was just wonderful and a highlight of the party! Also, I really enjoyed eating your share of the pot roast!

Also thanks to those who called or sent special messages (Gary, get better soon! "Cane man" just isn''t a good name for you!).

And as always, a special thank you from me to Greg, who did so much work and made a really incredible pot roast!

A fine time was had by all at Z'09. Good music (thanks to Lippy), good food (thanks to Greg), good company and good catnip (Grania really had a good time with my home grown organic catnip) made for a weekend to remember.

We took a few pictures. I'll play around with them a bit and see what I can do about putting some of them on display. Photobucket has a new video and slide show thing that we want to play with a bit. I'll let everyone know when/if I can figure out how to put something good together.

I,ve been away too long . It took me about a week to realise the relevance of your quote Charlene

I need more Zevon

The world needs more Zevon.

I've been working on a link with some of the pictures. Hang in there--I've been cleaning out my school stuff so I can hit the gorund running when the fun and games start up again in August.
