this entire verse was replaced by a banjo solo
It's fall and you're two. What are you doing? You're learning about pooping in the potty, and you're pumped up about wearing your Halloween costume. Sometimes, little friend, the two events meet and what a happy time it is for you. Praise be to Grandma that she had a camera at the ready. I am sure some future day you will love her for it.
Speaking of happy times, who here loves train systems? Um, me! The other day I discovered that six bucks and about an hour will magically transport me from Providence to Boston, where my good friend and former Seattle colleague P-OK was waiting for me to come and drink drinks with her and hang out and make lists and invent things that will make us fabulously wealthy. P-OK is the best and if you ever need someone to invent things or drink with I highly recommend her.
She was there for the UIE conference, which I've been to before and it made me get all fired up about the technologies and the superhighways etc. etc. Because I love those things, I really do. However, both of us are terrible networkers, the worst ever, and when alone in networky situations we sputter and flail and end up watching bad TV alone in our hotel rooms. I felt it was my duty to spare her from that.
We went out drinking and had planned on maybe playing a little hooky from her conference the next day to go to the Boston Museum of Science, which is one of my fave places in the land BUT NO we are such geeks that instead I looked at her conference agenda and said "Huh. Some of this sounds pretty cool..." So I put on my false moustache and listened to a guy speak about The Future and folks, the future sounds pretty great from a web perspective. I really hope we don't get blown or bombed or shaken or drowned so that we can stick around to enjoy it, together.
And P-OK, I'm telling you that song is real and damned catchy.
