Where is everybody?

I'm feeling very alone this weekend. All my online friends are out of touch this weekend, either they don't have home ISP, or they're on vacation, or they're OUT OF THE COUNTRY (you know who you are!). My blog views are down to half or a quarter in the past two weeks.
I've even decided to open my blog up to a select few old friends. From WAY back. Friends that I'm ashamed to say I've lost touch with on a regular basis. Now that I have all these forums, this, MySpace, and Flickr, I should be able to connect with them more than I do. I've already told G in Cali. I miss you, G. Welcome to my life.
Got a big party tomorrow evening. Season end party for the AE people. Always a good blowout. Bring meat to grill and a dish to pass. I'm making Tapioca from scratch for the first time. Tapioca is from the same plant as Manioc. Mmmmm Manioc.
