The Tickler informed me that her other girlfriend S won't be able to make the Folsom Street Fair because it falls on the Jewish High Holidays this year, and S is an observant Jew. I feel a little sorry for S, who's pretty cool, but I may get a windfall: depending on the other folks the Tickler knows in the area, she may need me to change my reservation to two (2) freaks and stay with me. Regardless, I'll be seeing more of her than I'd expected.

Also from the Tickler: she hasn't been to London in twenty years. I haven't been there at all, and it's number one on my international travel bucket list. (I've flown over it four times thinking, 'Aw, mayunn.') The Tickler has proposed going there early next year. Yes, the weather will suck, but it won't suck much more than Seattle that time of year. I must tell you, I'm pretty psyched at this prospect, and will eventually be hitting you all up for tips on things to see and people to do. And yes, London has much to offer those with interests that the Tickler and I share. Ahem.

Number two and three on my international bucket list? Melbourne because I have friends there and love Australia, and Tokyo because how can you not?
