Dinner @ The Stinking Rose
The last time I was there, was when Clint visited me in SF.
20 clove baked chicken and mashed potatoes....
I Bet you think this song is about you... dont you, dont you...
Every year the conversation sorta goes like this:
JPennant: Ah shit
JPennant: Happy belated birthday :-)
JPennant: I dont know why I keep thinking its in January
McClint: hehehehe
McClint: danke
McClint: everyone forgets
JPennant: ahh, every year I swear I wont forget
McClint: everyone else says the same thing :-)
McClint: don't sweat it
JPennant: Fine.. heres a trip a trip to sweden
http://absolut.com/gathering :-)
JPennant: (taxes and gratuities are the responsibiliies of the winners, batteries not included)
McClint: hehehe
JPennant: Happy birthday, my friend.
McClint: danke!
JPennant: :-)
----------
It has become a tradition of sorts, every new camera I get I name it, to fit is's personality
JPennant: Hey, Ive come up with a name for the camera by the way
McClint: ?
JPennant: And everyone with that name will think I named it after them :-)
JPennant: The name fits the camera, there is significance, but only one will be right
McClint: Cli-poo-da girl-....
JPennant: heheh .. no
JPennant: Kate
McClint: hmmm Capshaw? for the CAPturing it will be doing?
JPennant: Nah. When I was down on my luck in jersey, my camera died
JPennant: and a reader in Philadelphia sent me a new camera
JPennant: her name is Kate
McClint: oh cool. was this the camera that got flooded?
JPennant: oh no, that was Stella
JPennant: worked for a long time after that
JPennant: this was before that, back in 2001
McClint: oh ok
JPennant: What's interesting is, that every Kate I know
JPennant: is attractive, stubborn and ornery, but powerful people.
JPennant: Takes time to know well
McClint: hehehe do they share teh same birthday?
JPennant: Haha, not at all.
JPennant: This camera is difficult to use well, but is pretty and powerful, and a delight once you get to know it.
JPennant: name fits
McClint: when did you come to that realization?
JPennant: a day or two after I got it
JPennant: Someone asked me whatr i was gonna name it, I answered i didnt know yet, but that the name would become clear after I used it awhile
JPennant: didnt take that long
JPennant: 'Kate' fits.
McClint: what did you name the iMac?
JPennant: Julia
JPennant: cranky b***h :-)
McClint: hahahaha

Tomorrow's horrorscope sez:
Im *still* pissed.
But, maybe, not as pissed as I was.
No, its not you or about you, either.
Just talking out loud.
The one who has not been entirely honest with you is nonetheless trying his or her best. Try to see this person not as a nasty rat, but a scared little mouse scurrying for life-sustaining crumbs.

"Change is not a choice."
Although I dont like change, Ive been blessed to be able to recognise when change is coming.
What does it feel like?
When youre floating in water, your body moves. When the ripples or waves are small, you merely bob up and down, or they wash over without comment.
But when the surge comes before the wave gets to you, you move.
When you feel that surge, or even that ripple - change is coming.
Take a breath, point yourself in the right direction and go with the flow.
Change is not a choice.
What you do (or dont do) when change comes is your choice.

Christmas in Union Square
Took this picture yesterday of a father and daughter looking at the macy's tree.
I showed him the picture - he asked me to send him a copy.
Joe - I just had a feeling when I glanced at your camera that this was
going to be good... it is amazing, absolutely awesome. Thank you so
much - it will be printed and given to my Mother and my wife. The best
gifts are always those given with nothing expected. Merry Christmas!
That made me feel good.
