Saturday I got to spend some time supporting my good friend Greg at his art exhibit opening.
Based on the attendance I would judge the event a success.

Family, friends and even casual acquaintances were gathered in abundance.
It’s important to support events like this.

Finally caught up with Bill to give him back the DVD I borrowed so long ago.
He gave us back our Rick Steve’s Amsterdam guide.
Bill and Cynthia had an opportunity to swap European vactions stories.

Later that evening I caught up with The Allen Oldies Band.
Before they started playing I got to show Landis Armstrong the photo I took of him that is hanging in Sig’s Lagoon with a few other of my photographs.

I enjoyed a few songs and then moved on.

The 10th lucky caller will receive….

I have been so lax about chronicling the last leg of the trip to Europe.

Rome is major undertaking. In our physical scrapbook it constitutes 1/3 of a 4 inch binder.

As I was sifting through my pictures to cull out some for the post I came across this one taken from the outside patio area at the Vatican Museum. In the background you can see the antenna of Vatican City Radio.

We jokingly referred to it as K-POPE, Voice of God Radio!

We never actually heard it but we figured the faithful could probably tune it on on their fillings.

I really wanted a radio t-shirt. Maybe they had give on-air give aways?

I do have the coolest toys

During a discussion regarding Ebay on the radio show the subject of my personal addiction came up.
I got a few e-mails asking for some details so I broke out the camera and shot these.

G.I. Joe

Wednesday night goodness

Another excellent show. I decided to join my co-hosts for after show hijinx and headed over to the Flying Saucer for a drink.

Met up with Kymberlie, Jamie

It was very pleasant.

Kymberlie makes a point as Barrett smiles.

Simpatico

simpatico,-a adjetivo
1 (agradable) pleasant, nice, likeable: tu amigo me cayÃ³ simpatico, I really liked your friend
2 (divertido) amusing

Last night was exceptional.

Cynthia and I received an invitation to attend a wine tasting party hosted by some friends.
The theme was South American.

The initial reception was located at the Sabine Lofts just outside of downtown and featured Ceviche and sparkling and white wines.

This was followed by a limousine ride to a downtown residence where more wines were served with dinner on the rooftop above the 10th floor. Dinner was beef tenderloin and plantain encrusted snapper that was quite delicious.

Great conversations with wonderful friends old and new.

Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.

It occurs to me that there are two ways one might make the decision to replace their water heater.

The first would be a concious awareness that the appliance may be reaching the end of it’s service life and make the proper arrangements.

The second would be to come home and think to oneself; “What is all this water doing on my floor?”

I am thinking the second is the most common.

Weekend update

It was a good, good weekend.

The anniversary party was (in my “humble” opinion) a huge success.

Drop Trio was awesome and even brought out a refurbished Arp 2600 which has uber-geek appeal.
A pleasant and well received surprise came when they performed the Technology Bytes theme song.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and I was able to relax and enjoy the company of some great people. Saw some old friends and made some new ones.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

Signage

I came across this picture I took from the train going to Pisa from Florence.
Most of the trains in Europe are electric. They use suspended electrical cables to power the engines.
It makes sense to have warning signs cautioning people not to touch them.

You have to respect a country that uses a skull and cross-bones on their warning signs.
