But I can't imagine you going all that way for a spa holiday.Candanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-36683997805249688272015-02-10T05:56:25.839-08:002015-02-10T05:56:25.839-08:00The woman wearing the boot...does she have a blog?...The woman wearing the boot...does she have a blog? Oprah gave you a hug instead of a Pontiac? Wonder where she's dieting this year. You've been going to the same spa for about 30 years? Won't they give you preferential booking? Just don't let them find out that you lost a walking race to a one-footed woman.

There was a distinguished person in information security that I kept running into all of one summer: at a workshop in Crete, at a conference in London, most weirdly, in an airline lounge at Heathrow. I lined up an interview with him for a piece I was writing, and we had it scheduled. On the day, abruptly, half an hour before, he emailed to say he had to go to Washington and he'd get back in touch to reschedule after the meeting he'd been called to.<br /><br />He didn't. Nor did he respond to follow-up email.<br /><br />Two days, later, I learn on the TV news that he's been appointed to a high-up security role by the president of the day.<br /><br />Nope, never heard from him again. Those guys aren't supposed to talk to journalists. <br /><br />wg<br />Aw, jeez, just as I was beginning to get better at the Rohrschach captchas they've come up with something even harder.Wendy M.
