Title: 30 May 2008--it's 1970
Post by: urth on May 30, 2008, 10:00:35 AM
This may be the last set I get to participate in the discussion in real time for awhile. Monday's my last day, but I have no idea if I'll be able to spend much time at my desk or not, what with paperwork and exit interviews and all.

So 1970 is a good way to go out, I think.

And may I take this opportunity to say: much much good luck in the Portland endeavor. Your presence will be missed, bub.  Wish it had been possible for us all to get together for margaritas before you leave.

I'll be out of the loop for most of next week, in terms of real-time posting, as I have a work conference in San Jose, Mon thru Thurs. Not happy about it, given the price of gas.

I am sure I will not disappear from here entirely (and eventually I hope to be as frequent a participant as I've always been). I'll need to keep some of my local routines just to ease the transition to my new situation, so I imagine I'll post something in a week or two (and I could pop in on Monday for a bit, too).

About 10 years ago I was at LAX waiting for flight back to Oakland. Michael McKean was sitting in the waiting area for that same flight, reading a trade newspaper called "Zoetrope."  It was definitely him, but I didn't bother him and it didn't seem anyone else recognized him.

One of my very favorite actors--even without the Spinal Tap connection. He's such a chameleon--he can assume all sorts of characters. One of my very favorites was a guest role he had on The X Files where his character switched bodies with Mulder. He was both dispicable and totally hilarious all at once. One of the most creative scripts I can recall on that series, and that's saying a lot.
