I hadn't planned on posting a blog tonight, but something about sitting in a hotel bar, alone, out of town, a martini in hand, and, well...

Back in September I visited our state's capitol - Sacramento - to lobby ("advocate", we say - it sounds better) for a $400 million state budget provision. I traveled on my company's budget - a nice hotel, a generous per diem, fine dining, etc. I posted a blog then from a grand but pretentious lounge, served drinks by elegantly dressed and sexy waitresses, and partook (is that a word?) in fine dining.

Haven't blogged in a while, and I'm getting worried I might be charged with 2o2p dereliction of doodi. Got lots to blog about, just not the time to do it properly. Plus, I need the site points. C'mon, 16 member points for an original member!? WTF? So here's a quick note about what I'd be writing about if I had the time to write...

Heading out first thing tomorrow morning for New Orleans. Never been. The first two days are business and that's why I'm going. But I'm staying through the weekend and that's why I'm so excited.

So, a couple days ago my dad has a routine cardiac study - this is an annual test to check his heart. No big deal - he's getting older and he wants to be safe. This time, however, the test results suggest possible restricted blood flow through his coronary arteries and he's promptly scheduled for an angiogram. If you're not familiar with an angiogram, let me explain... The docs poke a hole in your groin and shove a line into your circulatory system, all the way up to your heart.

Hit me with your rhythm stick,

Hit me!.... Hit Me!

Hit me slow and hit me quick!

Hit me, hit me, hit me!

Heard the song on my drive home tonight and briefly re-lived the 80s with the late Ian Dury. Nostalgia....
