Wink, he is not totally out of the travel writing business but is going more towards the pop culture of investment instruments. (I can't believe I am even writing that with total elan; must be the too tight sudarium) He said he is thinking about getting a dog, and I gasped at how could he be getting a dog? We can't even get a dog as we travel too much, and he travels even more. He said he is cutting back on the travel. You can find him at walletpop.com I thought the pop meant explode, but he explained today that it means pop culture. Oh, and thank you, Glenn. I got that at the silk factory in China in 1998, and it could be my favorite article of clothing of my entire life. I will be bereft if it reaches its demise before I do. I wear it a lot on travel, as it is both warm and vibrant, and it has a wonderful hand.

Great pic of both of you, Juju! I met Bastable way back in June of 2003 with Spy, Marm, Reiki, Ginger, and OI. Gosh, I hope I didn't leave anyone out. And of course I met you at Spy's wedding. Awwwww, the good old days.

Tell Bastable hello JuJu, as Twinkie said, we all met in NYC, we had dinner and then went for a walk in the village and coffee and desert. It was a good night.

I miss you guys, Ginger. That was such a special weekend. I'll never forget it. Back then we only did butt pics and it was hard enough getting the boys to do that! LOL

Haven't heard Bastable's name in ages, Juju! I remember him as a travel writer, too. Tell him to drop in and post once in a while. I didn't often agree with him, as I recall, but I always enjoy reading other's post-ers' viewpoints.

Before I forget, here is the story Bastable did about the place we took him in San Francisco. Notice the sweet old lady in the red jacket. http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/03/05/musee-mecanique-the-old-school-penny-arcade/

I don't know who the sweet old lady in the red jacket is, but what a cool place! And an interesting web site. ETA: I read above and have figured it out. And you're hardly old, juju.

I love that this guy keeps those machines running and available to play and doesn't have them behind some rope. I'd definitely visit that place if I ever get to San Francisco again.

The fellow in the vid is the owner of the place and our friend. Bigdog worked part time at the Musee Mecanique when we lived in SF and when the Musee was located in the Cliff House at Ocean Beach.

What fun to see Juju and Bastable! And Twinks, I'm also remembering fondly that trip to NYC. That was when the "Broadway BLitz" was born--when Reiki and I met at the TKTS line on Saturday!
