The Quick Household Update

Katie appears to have thrown off whatever digestive bug she had. This seems to have produced a hopefully short bout of kiddie constipation again, but daisy_knotwise is feeding her fruit and hoping that things move normally again shortly.

I spent a bit of time on New Year's Day down in the basement counting the inventory. The good news is that next year's count should take a good bit less time once I get rid of the tapes.

And tonight, I watched David Letterman's return to the air, complete with actual writers. Yay! Leno is on the DVR for later review. I flipped over during a commercial and it looks like a Q & A session with the audience substituted for a good bit of the monologue.

Letterman, on the other hand, had Robin Williams as a guest which usually guarantees that I'll hurt myself laughing. This included a clip from his USO visit to Iraq where he was rather non-plussed as the entire audience turned its back to him as the bugle played and the flag was lowered. As an Air Force brat, I got a good chuckle out of that, remembering how Scott AFB would stop moving as the flag in front of the MAC building was lowered each day.

And yesterday, I wrote and posted a new song, cleverly botching the cut tag so that all of the lyrics were invisible. *sigh* Proofreading is my friend.

It looks much better now! I hope I'll get to hear you sing it.

Yep, tapes are dead, all right. The good news is, I think I've finally cleaned up "Tusks Are Optional" enough to home-burn some CDs, and expect to have them at ConFusion. The bad news is that I have no idea what to do with almost 300 unsold tapes.

Publicly destroy all but one, give that one to Interfilk to auction, and have fun as the bidders go wild!

Give one to each person at the next A2 Thing?

Look on the bright side: you only have 300 tapes. :) (Although Nate has said that he would like to get his, so I'll box them up and get them to him in some convenient fashion. That'll get rid of one chunk.)

Jay mentioned Dave in his monologue, and said the reason Dave could use writers and he couldn't, was because Dave has his own company, and he doesn't. It's always wierd for me to hear one of them talk about the other on their show.

Jay said they are sitll supporting the striking writers, but he wanted to go back on the air because 19 people were keeping 100+ other people out of work. It sounded better the way he said it, lol.

I did the opposite of you, sort of. I taped both shows, but I haven't watched Dave yet.
