If there are other Burlingtonians looking in, maybe you can come to dinner with Lori too! One good idea is Pacific Rim- it's kind of a small place, with an eclectic atmosphere, and has Asian noodle things.

Brian!!

Who??!!!

So Lori, guess who is coming to dinner?

Good question, Karen. Unfortunately, there is a very sad answer. There once was a "Brian King", but his demise (ultimately total) was long and slow. First, he was fooled (like most of us) by the Devil's greatest trick, which was to get everyone to believe that the Devil is not real. Then, the Devil incarnate, appeared as Steve Jobs. The rest is obvious, but I'll tell the story. The Devil made Apple computers. Brian took a bite. His desent from the garden was underway and unstoppable. Since that time Brian's lust for the latest Devil-Box has only been matched by the sleepless nights he spends being consumed by them. The Brian we loved eventually lost touch with the consious world and was being exclusively tube fed.......... and that's right- in the end Apple Computers completely devoured Brian. They didn't even spit out the pit. Ahhh, but he was a good lad!!! Never mind the settings Brian, the Devil has got you now.

Hi Karen, yeah, sorry to submerge for so long. I tend to simplify my life by focusing on only the immediate peril. It is nice to be here among friends, though.

Hmmm. Where are the settings? I really should change that 15 Basin St. thing.

Do we know a "Brian King"??????????? Let's see, its coming to me slowly............. wasn't he ........... uh, no that's not it. Never mind!

15 Basin Street? Well that's new. It's really me, Brian King. I guess there are settings to check over. You check yours, and I'll check mine, okay? It's nice to see this is working, finally.

Hey, check it out. The site works at http://www.shs1972.blogspot.com!
I'll have to add in the secret photo link (and add a bunch of new photos I've had for a while). But Hooray! This is good. Thanks for keeping this blog alive, good people!

Hi Karen and Richard--and everyone else out there. Sorry about your brother, Richard. Hope he'll be okay. Thursday night might be a good night to meet--but that would be without Avi. He's joining me there on Friday. Maybe Friday would be okay, too. I'll be in touch.

Hi Lori and all! Meeting anywhere in the Burlington area would be fun. Let me know what your schedule looks like (at rloveless@hubersuhnerinc.com). I just got back last night from working in Switzerland and having fun in Munich, Zurich, and London. I saw so many things that were new and wondeful for me. I went to see "Phantom of the Opera" Monday night in London. It gave me chills at times- with spectacular voices and amazing production work.

It sure has been a bad spell for peoples' health. My brother fell from a ladder 3 weeks ago and was in a coma for a week. He is now able to speak and it is clear that his thinking abilities are pretty good. He has a lot of rehabilitation left to go though. Be good- have fun- all for now.

Hi Lori! You will be leaving soon I guess. Hope you have a good time with your family. Hope some friends are able to take you up on the offer to meet ........ wish I could. Here in MI it has turned quite fall like this week. The highs are only in the 60's and some trees have started to turn. We are visiting the Univ. of MI on Friday with my senior, Evan, but then over the weekend we might drive up north and see some of the state. I have been waiting to see Mackinac Island. So much to do ......... so little time.

Hello???? Did I scare you all away?!!!
