Leaving You (Briefly), Play Nice

Astute readers of Scalzi's blog will know by now: I'm leaving town tomorrow. I'll be jumping on a flight to Los Angeles from Dulles tomorrow afternoon, returning to the East Coast Sunday night. I'm meeting up with a buddy out there to work on a writing project, one that I don't want to curse by talking about too much ahead of time.


Do you guys do that? Fear that you're going to curse things? Man, I sure do.


I'll be in the office and online tomorrow morning, and telecommuting from somewhere in Venice Beach all day Friday -- you'll barely notice I'm gone.


However, if I happen to look out the plane window here in Dulles and see people repairing the plane with duct tape like they are in this video, I'll be staying right here for the rest of my LIFE.

hi Jeff, (I hate you sometimes!! LA??!!)... well, please come back with some places to go to, that you recommend as you did with San Francisco, p.l.e.a.s.e.
This is why I would have loved to be from the US... it is a wonderful giant place. I just love it but from too far away (would you have some good info on NY?)
Could not open your image.

Oh.  I do try not to talk too much about writing projects.  It kills me though.  For example, I am having a complete blast writing this novel, and well, I just want to share, ya know?  

Anyway, have a safe trip and don't get too rowdy.   Of course, now I am damn curious as to what this project of your is.  Does it involve a car chase and possibly a shoot out?

Good luck, Jeff, with that mysterious writing project... hope it is the big one for you! Are you going to tell us about it after you come back, or while you are there? You have got to share this with your friends... bea

Damn it...  I'm not going to be able to sleep now after that little tease.  

Oh well.  I guess I'll have to jet out to Virginia on Monday to practice my waterboarding skills.  

You free for lunch?

Hey Jeff!  Can you do me a favor and french kiss a jellyfish when your hanging at the beach?  

The reason I ask, you see, is because it was 60 degrees here yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, it was around 17 degrees, and I'm a small man.  A small, small, jealous man...

Oh yeah...  THAT typo isn't going to be chewing on my brain all day.  

Jeeze...  It's all going downhill.

All -- thanks for the bon voyages ...

Dan -- it's Venice Beach. Some guy with no pants on is definitely going to ask me for change ... the jellyfish thing might be a little redundant.
