Good clean fun, minus a G-string

Just this last Saturday, the newest member of the QiSci family, David Poulin and his wife Isabelle (recently arrived from Waterloo, Canada) held a housewarming party at their latest abode. Besides the possum with the bladder control problem, this was a great night with good food (including kangaroo, courtesy of me), good drink (i.e. bundy rum) and some good music, supplied by our host on guitar, accompanied by anyone who knew the majority of the words to the song! It's been awhile since I've sat around playing music with other people, and I really enjoyed it - inspite of Dave's broken G-string. That night has also motivated me to dust off the old bass guitar! With a few other musicians in the group, I'd keep an ear out for some hot new quantum tunes on the air waves. Besides, it worked for 'Six and out'!

(For those of you unaware, 'Six and out' was a band made up of cricketers from the New South Wales state team, including Richard Chee Quee and Brett and Shane Lee. Their biggest hit was 'You can't throw and you can't bowl' in reference to a rather harsh comment made on field and picked up by a pitch microphone, by a mobile-phone wielding spinner about one of his Australian Test team-mates. That critiqued player was dropped not long after.)

Another note about the party - not a single person there was a smoker. Having numerous friend who are, it was nice to come home for once not smelling like an ashtray.
