going to Los Angeles for the weekend to party with an old new orleans friend.  Yeah, I do this a few times a year, but it is still fun.  We're hitting Das Bunker and then he's having a house party.  Wooo hoooo!

Then, I'm off to Calgary for 2 days.  Hopefully I'll have time to hang with some old friends there.

Then, I'm off to D.C./ Dover area for 8 days (by way of Cincinatti).  Good to visit family types there.  Maybe even make it to Philly if I find some time on my hands.

Then back in SF on July 3rd, easily in time for drinks at the speakeasy on Independance day.

Living the dream. 
Now if I could only find a jet-setting-gent to accompany me, my life would be complete.

I'm in New Orleans until Monday evening, April 20th.
Then after a night it Washington D.C., I'm off to Holland until April 26th.

So that means I'll miss Meat this week.  Oh well.

Living the dream.

So I'm doing a lot of "penciling" things in. So not all of these are firm plans, most are "we'll see what I feel like that evening".  Except for the travel - I have tickets! 

That's not a lot, is it?  But I'm trying to limit my commitments so I can go to things as they come up.

I've lost 2.5 pounds this month.
Mostly in the last week, as I've had this rough cold (thanks portland) and no appetite.

I have a resolution to not buy pastries or doughnuts or cookies or the like.  Notice that is "not buy", not "not eat".

I joined a gym;  My personal trainer has canceled on me 3 times now, and they have over charged me by $102.  Sigh.

I found I like yoga.  A lot.  Even though I suck at it.

My dreams are giving me a pep-talk lately.  What's with that?  All these "ego boosting" dreams - like wandering around a club and finding plenty of dance partners.   Or of upper management noticing and promoting me.  It's like my subconscious is trying to cheer me up.  Very weird.  I have been a bit in the dump lately, but sheez, does my subconscious have to go all pro-active about it?

And you wonder why I like sleep so much.

Ok, I'll finish tallying how I did on my 2008 resolutions some day soon.  And 2009 got here awfully fast so I don't exactly have my new resolutions down yet.  But I'm doing this:

1.  Me & the cat need to lose weight.  I'm shooting for 10lbs between the two of us.  (He's 21 lbs, btw, and twitters as HoustonCat. )   I'm pretty serious about it - I even bought a scale and joined a gym and took a 1 hr yoga class and bought 5 personal training sessions.  Yoga = ouch -- who knew?  (The cat is less serious about his weight loss.  sigh.)

2.  Take the cats to the vet.  Its been like 2 years.  I've selected a vet, just need to call.

3. << something about the job.  Management I think.>>

4. << nothing about relationships.>>  I'm good, thank you very much.

5.  << nothing about cigarettes >>  I've regulated down to just a few here and there and no longer crave more.

more later, gotta run out to the club and dance.  It's Sisters of Mercy tribute night.  And dancing is part of my exercise program.

Landed in Las Vegas.
Figured out how to work the remote control drapery.
Had a surreal lunch.
Ate Gelato.
Met with Russians.
Met with non-russians.
Ran into at least 3 people who knew my name and I didn't know theirs.  But at this point I'm great at faking recognition.
Attended a cocktail reception.
Attended a 40th birthday dinner and ate way too much steak & potatoes.
Looked at the Moon making a :( with Venus and Jupiter.
Made $12 at the craps table.
Slept.
Got my boots shined.
Gave a short demo at a 7AM session.  (7 AM ouch!)
Blogged twice.
Napped.
Had a cookie.

Now, off to lunch . . .
