Here are some pics of my trip to SF. I’m here for a week (over my b’day) for the Apple World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). Although I’ve spent some time in California, this is actually my first trip to SF.
It started excitingly enough, with a 5 hour delay in my flight that led to me being so exhausted I didn’t even eat last night. I crashed in my hotel in the same airplane-smelling clothes I had been wearing all day. Ugh.

Anyway, I’ll post more pictures as time allows.

Last night the wife and I saw Greg Proops live at the Funny Farm in Alpharetta, GA.

The show was not too bad at all, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that he wasn’t as sugar coated and generic as he would appear based on his tv/movie appearances.

Probably the best bit was his ongoing feud with an audience member who had started heckling the previous comedian over a joke about Christians driving prowess. The guy kept yelling out any time there was a religious reference, and Proops just continued to beat the crap out of the guy everytime he interrupted.

He also had a nice bit about what happens to men when they reach a certain age…they immediately become infatuated with three things:
*German cars (from the most anti-Semetic parts of Germany)
*Red wine (But I’m a connoisseur…I *need* a case at a time!)
*Cigars (Smoking a good cigar is like eating and shitting at the same time)

Holly continued to point and laugh at me as he continued listing things that I had recently become enamored with…the worst part is that earlier that day she had given me my birthday present early: a cherry wood humidor with 125 cigars.
:(

Oh,and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention thatProops totally checked Holly out. We were sitting at the left side of the stage, and as he walked toward our side, he punctuated a punchline with a shrug, while looking toward Holly. She shrugged back, laughing, and he gave her a grin and a quick lookover. She did not, however, get an autograph, so HA!

Not a Brak fan? No? Ok, sorry…anyway, check out my new truck!

It’s an ‘06 Chevy Colorado Z71. I drove it off the lot with 7 miles. Now I’ll drive it 400 miles a week to work for the next 5 years. And then I’ll force one of my children to drive it. Muhahahahahaha!

Newest, best car I’ve ever had. And most expensive, ouch. But damn, it’s a bad ass truck. Not my first truck, however…my uncle Russell sold me a WAY old truck back when I was around 20. It was a mid-70s…hmmm…Chevy? Ford? Dodge? I don’t remember, but I’m pretty damned certain it didn’t look like this or drive better than our ‘04 Camry.
:)

Please feel free to be admiring my truck. Don’t drool on it, ok?
