    I had lunch the other day with Dardy and Mr. Syndromes at Los Charros in Mountain View. As usual, Dardy and I ordered the scrumptious wet burritos with fried carnitas. Being a vegetarian, Syndromes got the the veggie burrito. I hope that Los Charros doesn’t go out of business, because…

    Following Vienna’s performance at Borders, I went to my monthly SNUG meeting. The usual crowd was there, including Kevin Smith, who was having some problems getting his Newton to connect to his Mac.
