"We've been on the run ...

" ... driving in the sun, looking out for number one. California, here we come ... right back where we started from."

Ah, the theme song from "The O.C." It is also an apt description of the coming weeks for me. It's that time of year again, where my nine month stint in Chicago comes to an end and I return to L.A. to alternately work my ass off in a law firm and frolic in the Manhattan Beach sand with cider coming out of my pours. Hopefully this will be another summer full of nut ball and wall ball and other sports involving only tennis balls and insane (yet strapping) young bucks.

I touch down on June 2 and start work on the 5th. I should be out until mid-to-late August. We will try to get a Tin Man going this summer for sure, and hopefully have some other good times.

See you bitches soon. (Except for you, Steeps, but hopefully we will speak on the phone soon.)

Waitress Bemoans Lack of Rendezvous

In an unfortunate turn of events last night, a Barney's cocktail waitress named Skylar was robbed of the chance to meat Ja "The Universal Man" Herber. According to co-workers, there had been whisperings that the two might be introduced sometime during the evening. One of the bartenders said that "it was obvious that she was listless and depressed after that dude left the bar." While it is true that she probably has dozens of guys hitting on her every night, inside sources confirm that there is at least an 8% likelihood that the unknown "that dude" is in fact Herber.

According to unconfirmed reports, Herber left word with Skylar that he was "sorry she didn't get the chance to meet me," but failed to comment further.
