My Ranch House
Party at the Ranch House
(FOR MORE, VISIT http://WWW.92067FREEPRESS.COM, GO TO "VOICE OF RANCHO SANTA FE"
All we were missing was a good Ray Bong whipping, but nothing says party like the Ranch House (tm). A beautiful night, we opened the appropriately pre-screened passage and voila', elegant, graceful, clean and pleasant.
Everything worked great. However, due to the financial turmoil, and my having only $2 in my pocket to last until March 15, I was unable to purchase beer, booze, beef, barley...Also, unfortunately Decanter was open so I couldn't check out their afterthoughts, wine, cheese, etc.
But I digress. I hadn't realized the house had two complete bathrooms. If only I had known. Plus, somebody could live in the utility room, it was so large and/or the walk-in closet, in addition to the two large bedrooms.
Very quiet. I took a few photos with the phonecam, digicam. I brought along the digital videocam, but chickened out. I hate editing now, too much drudgework; I can't even remember why I used to like it. Maybe next time.
Would have been great to host some dancing on the patios, or even inside the spacious tile-covered main room, but I forgot to bring the computer. Very good sound inside, though.
What else? Oh yeah, I heard a giant screeching noise and some heavy metal. Reminded me of Calhoun Street in New Orleans, which was good for about a crash a week. However, I forgot about the noise and resumed the party for a while.
Finally, how much fun can one man have? Not sure, but made sure to lock up -- more-or-less-- turn off the lights, the party's over. They say all good things...
Leaving, I noticed something odd. Ah yes, the car crash. Sure enough, a car was sitting just off the road -- near Ranch House's bottom yard -- all smashed and confused.
Karma. Darn. Got to run.
But I will check on things tomorrow and plan to have a shower dance party in honor of http:ww//92067FREEPRESS.com, 9:30 p.m. to midnight Saturday, March 7. No need to RSVP. Just show up and bring whipped cream if you got it.
Yours truly,
Dan

MY NEW RSF FANTASY HOME
Sorry, as with Bin Laden or Dick Cheney, this location must remain undisclosed due to security considerations.
However, take a couple of Decanter chairs and a couple of Mille Fleurs cushions, mix them all about and voila', patio deck #1 at Hacienda Rancho Fake is ready for party hardy central.
It's got electricity with outlets all around the house as well as satellite dishes, hookups and cable hookups. Running water. Pets allowed, even a horse.
Another great feature is the luxury portalet -- hand-wash, scented walls, very clean and airy -- directly across the street for easy access. No need to mess up the lovely tile and carpet interior, new appliances, house built about four years ago.
Other features include a second porch, shady area surrounded by three sides of natural open space, great view of Crosby Estate, Cielo and the Santa Fe Valley, easy access, quiet, lush landscaping, garden areas, with large palm trees great for summer shade. Very private in plain view.
A true testament to what no money down and zero credit can do for you, too! (However, you must know the secret handshake.)
Oops, I hear some rustling in the wind. Got to run. I'll report back soon enough on my progress at hacienda rancho fake, my new home away from home.
