We talked a little about such things too, but nothing specific.

But if they do have a palate for such, woe betide you for trying to placate them with inferior stuff. ;) All my sisters and I were great cheese snobs from the get-go...

I'm impressed. Like there'll EVER be opportunities like that in the summer when I actually CAN fly around for a week because I have no other commitments and am still getting paid... :(

I don't like ricotta cheese hot. I like it cold, but I have to mix something into it to give it flavor.

I'm with you on ricotta in lasagna, and in general. I did have ricotta pie, a traditional Italian dessert, once, about which I was slightly apprehensive (due to knowing I didn't like it in lasagna), but it was quite tasty.

hey guys, how do you get that vertical line in your signature, the one between FM and Travel Map, for example.

ALCO, I just saw your travel map and went and made one of my own. Not as impressive as yours, though! :):)

Your link is messed up. The text of the link should read like this:

Nice map, though. ^

It is a pipe, look above your shift key at the \ key, hold down shift while pressing it and you get |

I mostly use it in unix commands :D

You can haz vertical line by using teh button above Enter that has the forward slash on it. Shift + that = |

That is actually the back slash, not the forward slash. :p

The top is leaning back (to the left) rather than to the right. Or, as I explain to my users, "not the one on the question mark key."

IIRC the fare was available for summer dates. But I agree that finding fares and scheduling trips around work obligations sucks. Doubly so in your situation where the work scenario is strictly fixed. I quit my job in part to get around that issue.

Scheduled departure for flight #1 is in 45 minutes. No plane yet. :td:

I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I'm enjoying the musing emanating from the Dick Clark's American Bandstand restaurant in EWR A3. On the plus side, the terminal is relatively quiet and the Boingo WiFi is fully functional.

speaking of maps, we should do a BOX Do in Iceland, you have never been, and it is a great kraggy place to visit!

Good morning Box. One of our teams here is having an offsite, and as a specialist, I need to be there. I came into the office to get some stuff done but will be out the rest of the day. It is nice to be in jeans and an aloha shirt for the day.

Precisely why I mentioned you as a referral. It'll be a challenge, but you're likely to make money on it.
