Back from Las Vegas, but sadly with no pictures. The Venetian has specified that there be no cameras or smoking in the showroom, so I respected that and didn’t take any. Now, if I had known that before I got the tickets, I would have asked for different seats in the back. When I got the tickets, I specified front row-center where it is pretty…
March 18, 2002The Amazing Race is back and better than ever. I had a hunch they would be heading for South America, especially since they didn’t go there at all in the first episode. I think everyone is routing for the “Gutsy Grannies”, though I wish they would spend a bit more time on some of the other teams. It is kind of tough when you have…
March 14, 2002It’s Kris’ birthday today. I have known him since the glory days of the 8th grade, and both of us are still amazed that we have kept in contact over the years. I owe a lot to him, and I count some of our adventures together as some of the best times in my life. I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to…
March 11, 2002It is almost time for Vegas! Next weekend, Club Josh travels to Las Vegas to see Charo perform at the Venetian. I haven’t seen Charo perform since I saw her in Reno back in 1998. Hopefully, the new show will be better than ever, and I will get the chance to get some good pictures. Of course, the Gorn will be along for the trip…
March 10, 2002Spent most of the weekend trying to recover from Friday night. I had only four hours of sleep and had to be at the Mouse House by 7:30am. I survived and arrived on-time, but spent most of the rest of the week napping. Saturday was a complete loss, but Sunday I managed to go see the relatives and have dinner at Chevy’s. I did manage…
March 4, 2002Only six entries for February??? Man, am I slacking! I blame it on a short month. I intend to get back to doing more regular updates sometime soon. I know, I know, I keep saying that, but these update entries can’t be forced. I have to nurture them. Today I finally began the great purge. I have not filled all the bags of crud up…
March 1, 2002Things are heating up in the job front. They have gone from stone cold to mild warmth. I have received several calls from recruiters in the last few days, and have even heard back on the job I applied for way back in January. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope that the next few weeks will be fruitful. Other than that, things are…
February 27, 2002Back from a brief trip up to Northern California. A fun time was had by all at the 11th Annual A-V Day. Susie did notice that the mood seemed to be a lot less bitter than in year’s past, mainly due to the abundance of couples and children. I told her that bitterness is still there, it has just evolved. She is convinced that there…
February 19, 2002It has been a pretty routine week around here at Club Josh, but some exciting things – OK, maybe not that exciting – have been going on. This week, I did a quickie redesign of the Charo home page. I decided to quickly go through and change it to a white background so I can put the header up that the Trip Diaries and Gorn…
February 15, 2002I had a chance to see the movie Amelie. I must admit I had never heard of the movie until a few weeks ago when they started to run a barrage of ads on TV and Radio – presumably for the thousands of Oscar voters who will be voting in the coming months. I wish I was a member of the Academy so I could…
