Bogie, I didn't realize what I would be unleashing on you when I told Billy about your trial of TypePad. Here I thought he was a sweet, well mannered soul, and now I find he's been pestering you with questions! *G*
If he gets too fresh, especially while Wonderful Spouse is away, just deck him! He's used to Carolyn (his wife) keeping him on the straight and narrow, it seems. One more bruise won't be noticeable.
Have you heard from Wonderful Spouse? I'm glad that Yellowstone has been quiet while he visited.
I meant to tell you that when I was traveling for the University, I'd stop at the same places on each trip. The hostess in the dining room asked how I felt about having company at my table. I told her that I'd give it a try, which could have turned out really bad. She was careful who she chose to seat with me, and we both enjoyed our meals. It was nice to meet new people and have some conversation.
I do what you do, and carry a book with me, but it seems rude to read at night. Eating alone, especially if you have to do it often, is not much fun.
I guess we need to develop a snooty look to use on people who are rude enough to stare, whisper and point. Maybe THEY need to carry books at dinner and mind their own business!

Actually Billy is not too bad about asking questions. Now Wichi Dude can beat Billy hands down in that department - LOL.
I talked to WS a couple days ago - I'm actually waiting for the final inventory before I post on all the bike parts he has broken since leaving! But the important part is they are safe and having a good time.
I would have a really hard time eating with a stranger. I just am not a very good conversationalist, so I'm sure there would be a lot of awkward silences. Glad it worked out for you though.

...having listened to her husband read the post and the comments that are connected to it...we, the representatives of mrs. carolyn kay (from now on reffered to as *she*) would like to point out that *she* has only hit her husband once...*she* was fast asleep at the time and it was an uncontrolable physical action...*she* was deeply sorry for the event...the two times she has crushed her husband's hand was due to the fact *she* was giving birth to his children...therefore *she* would like it to be known that there isn't a nicer, gentler person on the planet and *she* has to live with her husband...if the husband continues to make these slurs he will find that *she* will have a headache for the rest of 2003...

Bogie, I'm glad to know that WS is having a good trip. I'll look forward to the parts inventory! *G*
I'm surprised that you feel you aren't a good conversationalist. Your blog seems so natural that I suspect you'd get past your shyness if you were able to talk about things that interest you.
Um...I usually blurt my ignorance out to T. She's been good about not rolling on the floor when I ask questions. I'll keep you in mind though. I can keep WichiDude company on the dunce chair.
Billy, it sounds like you're way ahead of me, managing your own blog. It's nice there's a help forum that understands about beginners.
(making note of Carolyn's lawyers sitting on the sidelines). I'll have to be more discrete in the future, I can see. Sorry about that.

Billy - I directed Whichi Dude to the forum the other day, didn't seem to work. That's Okay, as a bro-in-law he's good for the Sis, so I'll stoically suffer :)
Buff - conversation and writing are totally different. I can take as long as I want on writing (or start to write then scrap it or totally re-do it). That's hard to do face-to-face. Of course if all we talked about were animals, I could probably do all right!
