There is so much great stuff here--don't even know where to start, THANK YOU for the hypothetical endowment enabling me to run away from the world and hide in my matriarchal society which would be nirvana as women always get along and are never petty and always clasp hands and work toward the common good. While singing. In harmony. Also--I can never remember to file my property tax rebate--what is that about? I have some weird psychological block, and, as a matter of fact, completely forgot about it until reading about your renter's rebate just now. It's clearly a sign of intelligence.Rudyinparishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527306418916412817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-38582557054219216552008-08-14T18:05:00.000-05:002008-08-14T18:05:00.000-05:00Patty: Oh, too bad you couldn't go!

This was my first one, and I loved it.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, there were hundreds of people getting their picture taken with LN on that last day--all by one photographer--it must be quite a task to process them all.<BR/><BR/>I definitely will write a wrap-up post when I get my feet on the ground--it's been a bumpy reentry.Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-78809488456211739502008-08-14T16:03:00.000-05:002008-08-14T16:03:00.000-05:00Yes, nice to meet you, Fresca!

My family just moved to L.A. in May, and I was hoping to be able to manage a short trip to Vegas with my sister to go to the convention, but I waited too long and the hotel arrangements became too complicated and pricey.<BR/><BR/>Sorry that you have to wait weeks, but I imagine that they must have tons of photos to send to customers.<BR/><BR/>Would love to read about the last day and the photo op when you have the inclination.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/><BR/>PattyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-49121267053864375482008-08-14T15:15:00.000-05:002008-08-14T15:15:00.000-05:00Patty: Thanks for writing!

I should write more about that last day and the photo op, when I feel more energetic...<BR/><BR/>Bink: Yuck.

Professor Thing want 18 hands...etc.<BR/><BR/>Also, being (also a) Janitor at the landmark was noteworthy for the clean up after the Fri./Sat. midnight showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show. We never had to buy rice because there were always enough unbroken bags to take home. "Tips" were usually better on the weekends too. My favorite find was a very scary real large switchblade knife--found after a showing of Bambi!<BR/><BR/>Other jobs I liked:<BR/>Selling Christmas trees on my father's tree lot.<BR/>Pitchforking seaweed at Medicine Lake for the park service.<BR/>Digging and drawing near Kilmartin, Scotland.<BR/>Making a blue hurricane installation for the Sisters of St. Joseph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-29598079469207177592008-08-14T13:26:00.000-05:002008-08-14T13:26:00.000-05:00Did you ever get your picture with Leonard Nimoy??...Did you ever get your picture with Leonard Nimoy???<BR/><BR/>PattyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-52448927611250735722008-08-14T08:00:00.000-05:002008-08-14T08:00:00.000-05:00Great!
