I’m going to let Meryl do the whole song-and-dance routine over the reasons for EATAPETA and such, but I’ve relaunched the website. Two locations are already up, and there’s room for lots more.

You can send in locations of gatherings as well as photos of those fine carnivorous celebrations to peta (at) isfullofcrap.com.

Operators are standing by.

I’ll be up in Washington, D.C. most of the day to visit my old pal Bear of TTLB, who is in town for business. And while I’m at it, I got Citizen Smash to join us. In fact, I have arranged a lunch with two of the hottest guys of the blogosphere. (Alas, both married, and you two lucky ladies better know how lucky you are!)

I have not seen the Bear since he was a cub, though there’s no way it’s been as long as he told Smash at dinner last night. (I hear everything.)

After lunch, I will be visiting friends at their workplaces (must remember to bring resume… printing out now) and then off to dinner and home again,

I’ll also be refilling my freezer with kosher food. Wegman’s and Trader Joe’s both carry fresh kosher meats. Big yay for both of them.

By the way, the job I was talking about a while ago fell through due to my steadfast refusal to sign a two-year non-competition clause. Never. Gonna. Happen. If an employer has the right to fire me at will, I have the right to quit at will, even if that means moving to a company that does something similar, using skills I had to develop for my last employer. In fact, that is known as “working” in these United States.

So I am once again a free agent, and if you know anyone in the Richmond or Fredericksburg area who needs a blogger, writer, editor, web content manager/producer, and all-around print and electronic publishing maven, send ‘em my way.
