Friday's Random Thoughts

I spent hours on the phone today trying to reconnect Alyse's electricity. Actually, I spent hours on the phone today with Kris' secretary who spent hours on the phone with the electric company. My French is adequate. But when you combine a portable phone with a fast speaking French, it's impossible to understand. Xavier is in Washington, D.C. visiting his boyfriend. Unfortunately for us, he's moving there the first of the year. Another one down... My Instinct article has been shelved. The December issue is full. However, the good news is that the Editor in Chief is interested in continuing our conversations - hoping to find a way to collaborate in the future (especially with their extended travel section coming in 2007). So, I'll be working on an article for the January issue over the next few weeks. I'm also investigating an internet site. It's something I've thought about for a couple of years now - ever since we traveled to Las Vegas. But it wasn't until a few weeks ago that my friend Tom brought to me an idea that made me revisit the idea. I think it has legs. We'll see where it goes from here. Finally, I've included another youtube.com video link below (who is on the verge of being purchased by Google). The Feelings "Never Be Lonely" is a hum-along diddy that captures the essence of ELO. Take a listen and have a great weekend!
