Productivity continues (while waiting to take the SO to get her license): filled out all of the fun documentation to comply with the requirements of my state's new PPO plan, where we make commitments to try to improve our health in exchange for discounts on our insurance. Looks like I'm going to "try" working on my weight, which shouldn't be too hard with Adderall ...

Hello from Amsterdam, UA F was rather exceptional ...It's better than Lufthansa Business from the service perspective on long haul but the old F hard product really sucks big time.

Off to the Coffee Shops and illicit Mushroom Farms In other words I'm off to walk past them and gawk in the windows on the way to the Anne Frank House now.

Did I mention beer?


Have a great trip!

Bought some items that come in $250 increments, as the Fidelity Retirement AmEx is offering me 5% cash rebates at the moment - sadly, this single purchase took me to my promotional cap but I won't complain too much.

Upon returning home from drinks & dinner last night my wife commented that the stairs leading up to our building were rather icy. I agreed and after opening the door inside to let her in I headed back out to salt them.

I slipped walking down them to get to the basement where the salt is stored.

It was made worse by the guy walking by laughing at me and stating "Serves you (me) right for not salting them earlier." What a schmuck.

Morning, Box. I'm going to try to make it thru the day today. My sinuses are the least of my worries...the spasms and flames in my back are another story.

Actually, I converted. Now, who'll be attending our next DO down here in Teh Pit? I get a commission on every soul brought into the fold. :-:
