So Ive been neglecting my blogging and although no one noticed, I still feel obligated to write things down. Its been a great feeling after stepping down and realizing there isnt anywhere I "have" to be. It was nice sitting back watching someone else in the limelight, and being able to sip my cocktail. It reminded me of the times when I was getting stoned, going to party after party, and several of us would hide in the darkness and watch people. It once again felt like the outside looking in (a fly on the wall so to speak).

With it, I also realized there are things I wanted to do with the title but I was running around so much being seen. Now I have time to actually accomplish a few things, and Ive started working on making connections. Finding people who can help.

On my agenda is getting LNK going again. I was thinking about seeing if I can get a Friday night in May before IML, to put together a night of demos and fun. Hopefully getting some younger players involved.

I also want to plan another fund raiser at Marlenas which will raise money for either RWF again, or perhaps another charity. We will see once things progress. I dont think Ill worry about it until Im ready to.

Several new developments worth mentioning. David is finally moving back to the city (although the southern border is pretty close to being south bay to me lol). He will only be about 30 minutes by bus or about 15 minutes by car. Its better than 45 minutes to an hour though so Im excited.

So he is moving the weekend of Mr San Francisco Leather which is April 4th. He doesnt have much and although I offered to help him, he still insists I do what I need to do. He's the best that way.

I have my plane ticket and hotel reservations for IML set for May and we are planning on hitting western NY in the fall when the leaves are changing, frost crunching under our feet, spook houses, pumpkins, and halloween. Im really looking forward to it.

As for work, its been annoying lately. Seems like the software doesnt work, and a good majority of the calls are people bitching. I honestly believe its the nature of the beast and with the economy the way it is, people are really starving to make money any way they can. When you tell them they cant make money with you, or if something fails, they are ready to fight. Guess its tough times all over.

So this weekend we are going to be saying goodbye to someone who has been a great influence on my life. I used to flirt with him a few years back, and he was a huge support for my running for Hayes Valley Leather. He is moving back to TX (I know, who moves *there*?). Jay, since I know you read this (and Sean), thanks for everything. I appreciate your friendship, and will definitely miss you. Family brunches wont be the same.

So thats the update. Ill be certain to neglect my blog again, and write a ton more later.
