So, I ordered some books from Lulu, one of which was 'Headlights Girl'. I got the order yesterday, and everything was fine except for Cathy's book. The cover looked great, but when I opened the book the title page read, 'Baseball Pitchers: The Most Overrated and Underrated in the Last 20 Years' by KP Wee.

I am enjoying another vacation, of sorts. I haven't gone anywhere, but my friends are away for the entire month of June, leaving me free to indulge in some long overdue ... experimentation. I've been making some online purchases over the last few weeks in preparation, and I'm prepared to make a few preliminary observations:

After our time in the champagne room, Fallon and I returned to the couch where I ordered us another round. I should point out here that the waitresses don't get tipped out by the dancers; they get their own tips, so I made an effort to be generous. The service was quite excellent and I have always believed in tipping well.

So there I was, sitting in a gentlemen's club called Scarlett's, sipping my second drink. I was aproached by another girl, a very pretty blonde, but I still wasn't quite ready to take the plunge. A short time after she moved on, the DJ called all the girls to the back, and I saw my first walk-around.

First let me say thank you to all who have commented on my entry from last night. I didn't really intend to bare my soul so much, it just sort of happened, but the response was very encouraging. I might need to consider a No BUI (Blogging Under the Influence) rule, however.

I'm only slightly tipsy this afternoon, so I should be safe. Hey, like Jimmy Buffet says, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Today is a sad day, and I felt the need to get some of it out.

... by some strange quirk of fate, I was born.

Solari over on the FM hyperboard posted a link to a site called TStories (http://www.tstories.com/index.php) that is hosting works from a lot of authors here. After a quick scan I found stories by Julie O, Morpheus, Angela Rasch, and many others, including myself. I know I didn't give them permission to post the stories and I'm sure none of the others did either.

I just received this and felt I should pass it along. The US FDA is warning that there is a risk of botulism from certain nationally distributed canned chili products. Here's a couple of links with the full details:

Emergency Email & Wireless Network

US Food & Drug Administration

Botulism is extremely serious so if you even think you may have a suspect product please throw it away.

Something happened over the last couple of weeks that really illustrated to me the value of comments and the new voting feature Erin set up. First, my story 'In the Line of Duty: No Greater Love', which was posted back in January, got a comment. No the story generally gets one or two hits a day, but thanks to this comment the hit count soared. A few days ago, the same thing happened for my very first story, 'Lost Luggage'. This time, the first comment led to another person reading and commenting, and again the hit count soared.
