I was on one of Bill’s business trips with him.  We were in Tuscon, AZ (a delightful area), and he had a bunch of meetings. After one of the meetings, we were going to go out for drinks, so I offered to hang around where his meeting would be instead …

A good friend sent me a tweet of a girl wearing a Space Invaders dress.  I had to have. Luckily, Googling it got me to the website and I got one.  Two days later, the dress was sold out in my size–permanently.   I was happy I got the dress …
