Silent Auction Nov 4th - List of items up for bid

Self-imposed exile

Well, it's as good an excuse as any to retreat to the beach, I guess.

As some of you senior members of the Sock Patrol may be aware, yours truly suffered thru some public embarassment yesterday at the Orange County Courthouse. Suffice it to say, a certain local official by the name of Lydia Gardner would do well to clarify the rules of foreclosure auctions on her stupid website.

Oh, and she could also hire some better deputy clerks around there.

Anyway, I was so humiliated by the whole experience that I am "going coastal" today, and trying to catch-up on my summer beach reading.

Hopefully, you're all following similar pursuits . . . and avoiding embarassments!
