I did Osha with Roze on Friday (like "Brokeback Mountain", I just can't quit that place), then we did dessert (her) and drinks (I) at some place on the water called The Plant. Afterwards, Shelly joined us, and we took a nice night walk along the Embarcadero.

MTV 2 aired old episodes of "Remote Control" last night, a pop culture game show on MTV in the '80s, in honor of its deceased host, Ken Ober. I couldn't tell you much about him, even though watching the show last night, he was a funny fellow (he asks questions from a podium, and behind him are black and white still photographs of other famous game show hosts). But I do remember how the contestants would sit in these lounge chairs, and the loser would be pulled back in his chair into the backdrop of the set. One of the losing chairs actually lifted the losing contestant up backwards in their chair. Makes me miss the good old days of MTV.

I am taking a big, fat, long and deserved vacation beginning Friday, all through next week, not to return to work until November 30th. I know, I just went on a vacay last month, but I've got the PTO--which, by the by, will be increasing in its accrual rate come March when I hit my ten year (!) mark at my job. God, I can't wait to retire.
