kyburgLast night's party was a total blast - even if I had a bunch of wine glases to go through today in the wash. (Yes, I finally took the flat of three dozen down from on top of the refrigerator.)
The party found two contacts for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitlin at two of the largest aerospace firms still working - someone has to need someone smart, cheap and needing experience. Two. People. Finally.
And I found a writer's group that meets the fourth Friday. She's German, her name is Ziggy and she reminded me so much of the women in Cliff's Swiss family...you want to know where I got the 'perpetual motion' thing when entertaining guests, I've now found the source.
That's where and when I picked it up. Another ethnic quirk. She was never still - and neither was I.
The group was also easily my age and older - comforting for its own reasons. Some of them much older. I don't mind taking advice - or hearing it again from a twenty years older perspective. Me, I despair of ever being able to convince anyone what it was like to have a president - and a beloved one at that - assasinated. And then follow it up with two more within five years.
No, there are people who understand. We stood around my dining room and toasted the election together. Ate burgers on my back porch. Told bad jokes.
Talked about the weather.
I'm calling everyone back for Christmas Eve. Here are my neighbors - I hope to make lots of new friends.n6vfp, you get DOWN here for that - you need to get introduced! (YES THERE ARE OTHER GREENS IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS WITH BRAINS!)
And so goes Sunday.
