So, what happened between November 2005 and May 2006? Well, in no particular order, here is some of the stuff that happened. In every almost every case, I fully intended to write about the event…but didn’t. Over the next couple of weeks, I might<\/em> go back and expand on these things, but if I don’t, I have at least logged them into my blog so that I can release them and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.30.05 – Saw The Spazmatics<\/a> at Cedar Street on a Wednesday night with Janea, Debbie, and another friend of theirs, whose name escapes me. The band was fantastic and we had a great time dancing to their perfectly rendered 80’s covers. Our fun was only hampered by the fire-code-busting crowd, made worse when they went into a star-struck frenzy trying to rub elbows with Matthew McConaughey and a wasted Lance Armstrong, who for better or worse was standing right next to us at the back of the dance floor. Debbie spoke with him at length, but I never got a full report of the exchange other than she was being a protective mother hen to the hapless lad. He also had protective help from his tall blonde arm-candy (ahem, pre Cheryl Crow break-up), who at one point popped me on the back of the head and demanded, “Down in front!” I turned around to look at the pair, the girl looking quite pleased with herself and Mr. Armstrong looking a little dazed and unsure of his position. I made a dozen quick calculations before finally deciding that isn’t how I wanted to get on the news. So, I blustered something incredulous, yet benign enough to diffuse the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, Mrs. Pribble and I took a cruise to the Western Carribean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
