Sheltering in Place

[Greg]

Starting to look through my Iron Crotch 

Just stop. Put that away. You’ll go blind.

Less from you. You know you want to see my Iron Crotch.

Heading to Saratoga to celebrate my mother's B-Day. She invited one of her Qi Vampire friends to join us. I should just stick the needle in my eye now.

[Drunk Monk]

Should I drop by? I'm now negative.

Srsly tho - Jakes?

And just like that, my Thursday dance card filled up. 

I now have three additional telemeets, but the last two are more social (the 4th YMAA telemeeting is annoying because one of the employees has his panties in a bunch about something he wanted to push through, basically putting work on everyone's desk and then complaining that we didn't meet his schedule - whatev dude, do more qigong and calm down). The other two are a follow up with my disciple brother and a pre-game SDCC planning sess with Plugo. 

6 telemeets in one day is some kinda record for me.

Yesterday I returned to my beloved bungalow, covid free. Happy Friday!

Today, I have Kung Fu, and it'll be my only class for the month. Then I have YMAA work, swaps for some Fridays that I'm taking off later. Plus I'm continuing to write up my Shaolin Trips for KFM while it's still fresh in my mind.

[Drunk Monk]

Yoga, more YMAA work, more writing, lots of reggae marathon listening.

[Drunk Monk]

Aw man, I need to crank out some lammies too. I won’t have time to prep for RotR next weekend because I’ll be at SDCC.

[Greg]

Didn't RotR get the memo to cancel?

[Drunk Monk]

Shut up you jinxed prick dolphin licker.

[Greg]

I'm pretty sure I'm not the Dolphin licker.

[Drunk Monk]

Pretty sure? So there’s some doubt, isn’t there? 

I know you had that poster of Flipper behind your Farah Fawcett poster…

[Drunk Monk]

Alas, another Monday. I’ve got 2 telemeets, then work all day - finish this months spam loading and the second Shaolin trips 2024 article. And I need to do laundry.

[Drunk Monk]

Work, then up to Tiger Claw for a quick Shaolin post mortem, then visiting mom and back to svale for the night. I stocked that fridge when I was there last because I was self isolating. So there’s food.

[Drunk Monk]

Go home, work, pack...

Yesterday evening was Friends of H taking us to dinner at a traditional Heurigen. It is like a beer garden, but with wine. This "public transit" thing is wild; I wonder if it will catch on in The States.

Last full day in Vienna today. Replaced 20 year old sandals that gave up on the cobblestones around midnight last night. Had to buy a suit for the wedding this weekend in Germany. Austrians are a large people, fortunately, and clothes are relatively cheap here. Not used to having such a large array of sizes and brands.

Bookstore again today as H picks up her krimis. Meeting friend of H's at Cafe Ritter which has become our local. Finish up tonight with traditional Wiener schnitzel.

Tomorrow morning we take the train to Munich, then another to the Lake Constance area, then take a taxi to a tiny town where we will likely be killed in a Midsommar/Wicker Man scenario.

[Greg]

Public Transit? Is that like cars and stuff?

I am envious of your trip to Munich. Such great museums. (Christina got annoyed at my pace through the Antikensammlung. I mentioned that a certain vase was very famous, and she replied, "How can it be famous? This place is full of them!") And I remember having some excellent spaetzle. Plus there are actually some friendly Germans there.

Working today and then some prep for our trip to Tahoe tomorrow. It's with Christina's family so not exactly a vacation. Unfortunately our nephew is bringing his kids - boys, 3, 5 and 8 years old. (Originally he said they couldn't make it.) Those kids are monsters and he is a very laissez-faire parent, so it's not going to be that relaxing after they arrive. Oh well. We do get one day before they get there.
