Tonight: Seattle

“How was last night at Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego?” Admin yells into the phone.

I can hear Spence, faint on the other end. “Great. Some people came from as far away as Riverside. And it was a SNAP event – link to come – so lots of members of the nation within were there, too.”

“And tonight – Seattle Public Library?”

“I’m getting on the plane.”

“But what about the camera? You lost it?”

The line goes silent.

    Oh Spencer.

    The Ah Ah video made us cry.

    Bear, will you get to see/meet Spencer tonight?

    Sorry to hear about Brad.

    I am not watching something that will make me cry.

    Still a bit loopy from the drugs they gave me. But i don’t have to go back for 2 years! So the next thing is November on the eyes things again.

    Dan will be moving completely downstairs of the west wing. There is ample room for his bed. The stairs are getting to be a bit much for him.

    RAINY! 50 some degrees! Hmm, time to read a book.

    We are all indoors today, and we are bored silly. Mom and Pop are at work, but they say a bad storm is coming our way. We feel much better outdoors where we can keep tabs on storms.

    Melanie: I’m glad the Plunderers give a “tears may fall” warning on links. Some days I can take it and some days I need to have all things happy. This link was a happy cry but still…tears did fall.

    We guys are all in trouble. We threw a party today, while the ‘rents were at the office. Things sort of got out of hand. We didn’t clean up before Mom got home. One hot redhead was wearing a lamp, which was hurled to the floor by another, along with one of the speakers. Dima gave new meaning to “cutting a rug”. Buddy and T.C. are acting all traumatized and making it sound much worse than it was.
    When Mom got home, it was raining corgis and whatever, and thundering and blowing. After it lightened up a bit, we all went to the barn to feed horses, but then Dima took Kat on a field trip. Lets hope she didn’t get swallowed up by the flooding creek. Also, lur fence keeps beeping in the cellar and Mom says that isn’t good. Why? She won’t tell us.
    Just another day on the farm. 🙂

    I had my camera, but the battery was dead. *sigh* I really should have checked before I left. It’s not like it was last minute. But I was rushed. Had to pack a lot of stuff, including the dog and head to my parents’ place for dinner. They’re only 5 min. away from Mysterious Galaxy.

    The evening was great. Beautiful Weimarainer was there with owner. Plus some very cute adoptees. My dog got some great sniffs of them on me when I got back to my parents’.

    Got all my books signed and even won a frisbee. Now I just have to decide who gets which book for Christmas.

  22. Melanie
    7:12 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Miliuppa, Keep the book, give the frisbee!

    Still loopy after all these years. Oh, wait, it was only yesterday. Seems like years.

    PLUNDERS’ PRAYERS, Good thought, Positive vibes, tail wags, licking for YSAS who will be have an audition tomorrow for a SPEAKING ROLE!

    I was texting him and the two of us, instead of saying “good luck”, say “Kick some A**”
    Unfortunately, being loopy, I wrote “Kiss some A**”. Didn’t notice it until it was sending. Sigh.

    Luckily YSAS has a good sense of humor.

  50. Siber-H
    10:23 pm on September 18th, 2012

    I hope the Rockies keep Pacheco.

    Timmy was the winning pitcher the last time the Rockies played the Giants. We don’t want a repeat performance from him

    The time these west coast games start is indecent.

  51. SnowBella
    10:29 pm on September 18th, 2012

  52. Belle Starr
    10:30 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Wose: You mean to tell me, we’re not in the same time zone? What’s a time zone?

  53. Siber-H
    10:34 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Belle Starr, A time zone is like the Twlight Zone. It is where baseball games start too late.

  54. Riö - The Evil Pug
    10:34 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Time-Travel!….Rose, when youse guys travel to Alaska it will be like going back in time….heh!…So if you do something you are not proud of in the four hours before you leave on your trip you can pretend it never happened, or do it differently once you are in Alaska….snort!snort!…How great is that?

  55. Belle Starr
    10:50 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Rio: once in a while my two-legged refers to me as Bellie Button. I’m not sure why unless I had a button on me at one time that fell off and she refuses to see back on.

  56. Riö - The Evil Pug
    10:58 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Fire!….Timmy-Button is on fire tonight…snort!…He even covered first base and got one of our guys out…grump! …To damned bad his hair doesn’t catch a flame…sniff!

  57. Siber-H
    11:01 pm on September 18th, 2012

    We are totally wimping out and going to sleep now.
    The Rockies are only behind by one run.
    The results of these west coast games aren’t even in my newspaper in the morning because of how late the games run. sigh

    Night All

  58. Riö - The Evil Pug
    11:19 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Maskers!…Well, I wonder if Maskers pulled a “Brando” and disrupted the whole event…heh!heh!…I can just see Spencer being knocked off his little chair, book flying out of his big ole paws into the air as Maskers jumps on his pointy head and finds he can’t balance there for long…chorkel!…Bad Kat! Baaaddd!

  59. Riö - The Evil Pug
    11:35 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Hmmmppf!…Since NO ONE is around to talk to tonight (again) we are going to say goodnight and listen to the rest of the game on the radio….huffle!puffle!

  60. Belle Starr
    11:46 pm on September 18th, 2012

    Rio: I’m here. My two legged has been building a fire because it is raining, it’s pouring, the evil pug is snoring, and there is another high wind warning tonight. She is waiting for her AJ to get home so she can see him before he leaves tomorrow to pick up the team.

    6:03 am on September 19th, 2012

    Melanie:

    Not to worry. i’m keeping all my books. I had the first four in paperback. When I heard Spence was going to be in town signing I bought all four in hardback. So I got his sig and pawtograph on all FIVE of my hardback copies. Plus I got back in line and got my four paperbacks signed. I have three nephews and a niece. So I’ll decide who gets which paperback for Christmas.

    No one gets my autographed books. I’ve been getting autographs for years and I never give away or sell my autographed books. Most of them are children’s picture books.

    I have two by Nicholas Meyer; West End Horror and Seven Percent Solution. I have a Donald Westlake. And I have a typed and signed postcard from Isaac Asimov. My prized possession.

    Thanks for these pointers. One thing I additionally believe is always that credit cards providing a 0% monthly interest often entice consumers in with zero rate of interest, instant endorsement and easy internet balance transfers, nonetheless beware of the number one factor that can void that 0% easy streets annual percentage rate and to throw anybody out into the bad house quickly.
