| Just happened to see The ISS zip over my house again tonight while walking the dog. Well, at a -1.1 magnitude, it was hard to miss. I just happened to be outside at the right time. Definitely had a "what the heck is that?!?" feeling for a moment. |

Well, it looks like I will be having dinner tonight with Jeff Wagg, Robert Lanchaster (if he can make it) and James Randi along with some local members of the jref forum. Randi and Wagg happen to be in town for meetings...
I'll let you know how it went... |

Okay, you're right!
I'm going out to dinner with some people tonight. Is that better?

Much. Thank you.
Oh, please ask Lancaster and Randi if they'd read my Moonscape spoofs on them, will you? And tell them I invite rebuttals. (Yes, I do know how to shamelessly promote myself!)

Dinner was fun. We were arrived only a little late (rush hour in Los Angeles on a Friday evening sucks) but got there in plenty of time for chips and salsa and a couple of iced teas (Michelle had a margarita) and well before orders were taken. The conversation was lively and fun. The food was great. Most importantly Jeff and Randi added a personal touch that made us feel like old friends. Jeff came down to our end of the table and chatted with us for a while. We talked about the upcoming move from the Riviera to the Flamingo for the next TAM event, among other things. I happened to be sitting one person away from Randi, but do to the noise in the restaurant (very loud) I was not able to join in much of his conversation with those immediately around him. Oh well. Upon leaving, Michelle got a hug from Randi, maybe two. I received a handshake and he said it was great to see me again. Cool! Robert Lanchaster and his fiancé did make it to dinner. He reiterated that he had fun guesting at our chat…
Jeff said something about an outreach idea that would mean closer ties with the jref and skeptical groups like SFN…

Everything is fine. Took on a part time contract in addition to a full time contract. And I'm too old to cut back on sleep.
Thanks for asking. |

DoubtingStephen from the jref posted some pictures he took at:
Dinner with The Amazing Randi
He got a one of me and another of me with Michelle on page four. Michelle got some picts too, with her cell camera. But she is sleeping now so you will have to wait until later to see those.
