Re: Migeru and me -- A recapitulation of 2005 (4.00 / 5)

Hi Sam,

A pleasure to meet you! I think the term "ET widow" sums it up just right. Miguel just confided in me that Colman and him are twin souls... awwww... how sweet... (GRRRRR, arf arf arf!!). He even had the audacity to suggest I start an ET widow club!!! As if he were proud of it somehow!!! (Just wondering what the contents of this club would be, something like:
"Oh, last night I waited for 3.5 hours in bed for X to get off the damn computer and come join me... and when he finally came, the only excuse that he could give me was that he was MAKING A MAP!!!!! How about you?"
"Ah, that's nothing. My toddler was still in the bathtub when I came back from my only night out in a year!"}

It would be great to meet you in France. We might actually go, as by some amazing divine intervention Miguel got a bonus this month (which shows that, against all odds, he has not depleted all his mental powers on this website) :).

I was cooking dinner for Colman earlier when he told me that you had replied to my comment. I aske dhim what you said...he growled a bit and said he couldn't remember.
Yes...this could be interesting...
Actually I too am waiting on my pay review. They split the annual review this year so that you got a performance review first and a pay review 2 to 3 weeks later...1 week gone so far...

Cooking dinner only, let me point out, because I was too ill to do it.

Nice though.

Perhaps you should schedule a widows table at the meet-up?

Ah...my apologies for any confusion...we're using 'widow' in a non gender specific fashion. He'll be most welcome at 'our' table.

You're too kind, Sam. Sadly, if we were there (in some pretend reality), he'd probably be sitting at your table with a laptop, playing cards. We actually email each other more often than I'd care to admit!

Izzy, that's a pity.
Btw...Colman wants to know how long it is to the weekend...???
I think the Guinness and Whiskey is getting to him...

Tell him it's almost two full, long, excruciating hours yet!

It ain't the drink, Sam, he's got a cruel streak. ;-)
