I'm back. Spent the past week on a road-trip with my kid. We visited the grandparents in Nashville and then spent a couple of days showing off my childhood haunts in Hot Springs, AR.
The kid was enthused to try the volcano-heated mineral water baths in one of the old historic bathhouses. Thankfully she wasn't treating the affliction that Al Capone tried to treat there.
Look it up.

But I realize that it was again MY OWN CLACULATIONS that brought me to the false prophesy, upon which I must retribute.
That said, are the doctrines of self-tarring and self-feathering spelled out anywhere? I figure if I'm gonna do it the orthodox way.

This was my viewing for yesterday's Corman-Marathon.
Don't be too impressed. Corman's movies were not a minute longer than was required.
The Wasp Woman
Death Race 2000
Von Richthofen & Brown (half)
The Raven
Rock-n-Roll High School
It Conquered The World
I think I need to agree with my kid. While "Rock-n-Roll High School" is stupid and cheap, the rapid-fire jokes and lack of date-rape make it hold up much better than its contemporaries.
And the soundtrack is amazing.

Wife is running a workshop for a pipe conference in San Antonio. I am here to carry suitcases.
Since her company buys millions of dollars worth of pipe, the vendors wanna shmooze us. Mind you, it's not at the Clarence Thomas "private jet to a private yacht in Bermuda" level. More at the "free beer and tacos" level.
Which is fine. San Antonio makes good tacos.
