The new AD product is at RC1, and is out to the full AD NFR list for poking and prodding, and I am taking my first day entirely off work (or, well, driving back and forth from Idaho) since the middle of February. The missus and I are heading to L.A. for the weekend, wherein I will dote upon my nieces and eat good food and do the things men do when they're not working, whatever those things might be.

Interestingly, I just looked at the weather for Manhattan Beach, and the high temp today is (on the Fahrenheit scale) just about half of what it is here -- Mid 60s there, 110 or so here. This will no doubt entail wearing things like pants and a coat, and maybe even shoes instead of flip flops. Let's see... where did I put those socks? I know I have some...

My point here is that I acclimated to the warm (okay, I'll go ahead and say "hot," you raving pile of pussies) weather here fairly quickly, and now when I even see temps like "67" my internal thermometer is going "WARNING WARNING YOU WILL FREEZE TO DEATH!!!"

Well, on the bright side, it's a wet cold.

Anyhow, no gear talk for me until Sunday. No business talk. None of that. I'm taking my proxy children to Legoland. Don't break anything while I'm gone.

Having lived there a while, I’m always surprised when someone mentions L.A. as a vacation of any sort. It’s always a duty for me to go back, and while there’s people I want to see there, it just sucks otherwise. Except for the beach, which is the opposite of sucks.

We'll be spending all our time in Redondo, Venice, and Manhattan Beach. We'll see L.A. as we drive by, but that's about it.

That said, I love the vibe of West Hollywood, Century City, etc. It's like the Land That Time Forgot. Instant Tom Waits songs, wherever you look. I revel in it.

I visited Santa Monica several months back, where the temperature was in the mid-60's. Being a Seattleite, I wore a T-shirt and reveled in the sun and heat as I walked on the boardwalk. The locals were wearing fur coats. Seriously. Very cool looking fur coats and vests, mind you, that look like something off the back of "Forever Changes."

Ok, he's gone. One of you on the NFR list spill the beans. Some sort of FM percussion sequencer? Like an easier to use Rontgen?

@"Gaylord": Hey, none o' that. CR may be out of the office but I'm not. I'm here slaving away on the manual. I call it "manual labor". Get it? Hah hah.

Yeah, I'll take humor where I can find it at this stage of a project.
