One more night in Orlando
I thought I’d be almost home by now. But corp travel booked my revised return flight for Sunday instead of Saturday, and all the flights today are full of fleeing TechEd attendees. So I have a room at the airport Hyatt. At least it’s a very high-speed internet connection, so I could spend some time with Megan in Second Life. She got me new skin, with chest hair. And some racy new underwear. What a woman.
Should be in Seattle by noon tomorrow …

Actually, the chest hair is on the undershirt layer; it’s not a new skin. Almost all the skins available in SL are hairless, so a visionary designer tried to rectify the problem by opening The Body Hair shop with chest, leg, arm, and even ass hair. But he doesn’t do full skins, for some reason.
Another thing you just can’t find in SL is an old school mustache. That’s why Doug is still walking around in his newbie default skin. It seems the demand is just not there. Hmmm. Well, if Doug persists in his 70s style, we just might have to go custom.

Wow, today you are a man. Mazel Tov. It took me years to grow a chest full of hair like that!
I shudder to think that I need to BUY ass hair, though. Seems like the kind of thing that should be free. It was the first time.
You guys have done fairly well with your avatars — for some reason, my currently dumpy build does not translate to avatar design (either in this or Tiger Woods golf). I tend to look like The Rock with an intestinal distention disorder. Or an eight-month pregnancy. Either way, it’s not pretty.

Well, Tom, worst case you could go the ripped route, like 99.9% of guys seem to do in SL. But I do like the creepy sinisterness of your avatar — a look you’ve rarely employed in RL.
Hey, we need to get together for a good group photo in SL some time. For my Mom, you know.
Speaking of … I’ll bet we know others who are active in SL and we’re not aware of it. For example, when Megan and I were at a dance club a while back, I couldn’t help wondering whether one of the hot chicks nearby was turning away from the keyboard and saying “hey Larisa, check out Doug’s stupid dance moves, they’re very realistic.” I could be wrong.
