Thanks. Fever is essentially gone (98.7) and now I'm just congested and in a little pain. I'll try to go to work tomorrow (11a-7p) and see if I can get through it.

Kinda like drunk posting only the giraffe is green instead of blue...

Glad to hear your feeling better.
Thank you, sir.

Oh, the horror! No more oodles of money or miles for trivial complaints. Whatever will the entitled 1K population do?

Morning, Box.

Actually they have some very cool lines available. It is tempting, particularly with some of the fares. Putting together a ridiculous central Asia trip would be fun.

I was in the Hoboken, had to dig our way out of house and walk to my car to dig that out as well. This all started around 630 AM, I just left there and the streets are packed with people waiting for the bus which until now was not running.
Route 3 was a complete , not really plowed. Now I am the only one in the office :-:

Well, I was 10 when the fifteen former Soviet republics were established. I DID know my European countries, capitals, and flags by then (thank you SAS sticker book, National Geographic atlas, and proactive mother) but I didn't know enough about the intricacies of the non-Russia parts of the USSR. Yet.

Reasons it's not happening this year or next year: the usual...money, time, travel priorities...you know, same old, same .

I know a bunch of people who would be all too happy to bless you and let you inherit their shoveling.

Hmm. Tempting. I think I found out how to use my DL Skypesos.

They seem like a competent operation, but have a really ghetto looking setup by teh AA concourse at ORD.


Glad to hear you're feeling better CM!
