Luckily this was my last day on St. Kits because I went down to the beach today and got a horrible burn. I'm extremely uncomfortable.
It's been a good experience down here, got some good work done and made some new friends, but I really feel like I need a complete change of pace; new clothes, new locale, the works.
So now I'm off. Since the Expo is over I think I'll take this opportunity to spend some time with a few old friends in a very different climate. Someplace cool and quiet.
I heard my old college buddies Charlie Ryder and Sebastian Flyte are revisiting some research we worked on a while ago. I'm going to visit them at their place. Specifically, at their library; thing com pletely renovated and restocked so I'm sure we'll be able to get some good work done.
If anyone who was familiar with our work wants to help out, they can just stop by their library and search for my friends and/or their fathers. Someone will be be able to show you where we are.
Well, I've got a plane to catch in just a minute. See you.

Beautiful moon
The moon was beautiful last night, but I didn't see any of the treasure hunters. Maybe I'll spot them tonight. Hopefully, I'll be back from the hotel bar by 10:20 pm. Won't have much time for stargazing, as usual, but maybe they'll wander by while I'm sitting by the window.
Well, off to the Expo. Looks like it's going to be another busy day.

Cool island breezes
St. Kits has been great. Hasn't been too hot. Everything is nice and calm. Unfortunately, I'm sure that can't last. Been getting a little new work done, too. Hopefully I'll get several more days down here before I have to move on.
It's always nice to meet new friends, and it appears that I've met a couple nice people down here. Lots of treasure hunters, too. Makes me think of The Gold Bug. I get the impression that some of them are close to finding something.
Anyway, I think I'll finish up here at the computer in a little while, then I think I'll just sit by the window for a few minutes. The moon looks beautiful over the water at about 10:40. Maybe I'll spot those treasure hunters heading down the beach.

One Hit Wonders
The St. Kits expo has been uneventful over the past several days, which is probably for the best. No sign of Larry, though. No one that I've run into has heard a thing from him.
Was watching VH-1 in my hotel room this morning - a show on one hit wonders from the 80's - and who should pop up but Spandau Ballet. What memories they brought back! They were on the countdown at Number 6 with "True". That one was OK, but there were other songs from that album that were much better.
I've been thinking of having a more full-featured space on the web, something a little more robust that would support an online newsletter or newspaper. But I don't have any money to spend on that sort of thing. I wonder if my friends up in Allentown know of anything like that that's free?
Back to the beach, for now.

What a surprise
What a small world.
Can you believe that I ran into some people from work who said that they are also looking to meet up with Larry. Well, I guess he always was a popular guy in certain circles. I hope that I meet up with him first, though, because I just want to talk about old times. I think they want to talk about business. Maybe even talk to him about coming back to the office.
They also mentioned that Larry looks really different. I hope I can recognize him down in St. Kits after all this time. I'd hate to go up to the wrong person and make a fool out of myself. We'll see. I'm sure I'll be able to spot him, he's probably still wearing that stupid hat he wore all over Austin.

Out of the loop for a while
Hello, to all my friends up in Allentown.
Was hoping to be able to write a little here in this new journal, but looks like I have to head out right away. I'm going to take it easy, so I don't know if I'll be able to check this journal over the next week. I'll try though. Heading down to say 'Hi' to the family for a few days, then it's off to the St. Kits Yearly Planning Expo. Should be an interesting time this year, really hoping to make some new contacts. This freelance lifestyle is turning out to be pretty tough.
I was able to get a cheap flight, but it's a snoozer. Doesn't depart until 9:35 PM EDT on Sunday, July 1st. Got to make sure I'm on time, because that is the only flight. Luckily it's a short flight, I'll only be on it for about an hour or so.
I'm really hoping to see Larry down there. Been trying to get in touch, but he hasn't been around. Haven't seen him since that screening we went to that Friday night at SXSW 2006 at the Austin Convention Center. Been trying to remember who directed that one. Maybe Larry will remember.
Well, gotta run. More as soon as possible.
