France and South Africa are eliminated. Mexico backs in to the knockout round.

A lot of the adults had issues with the noise at night, particularly in our last campsite where we were right next to the Brunswick, MD train station. Didn't bother me a bit. :p

I was sad to see RSA go down, just from the sentimental factor. Hope the atmosphere stays positive through the rest of the tournament.

Time to start scrutinizing for flights to get me (from EWR/PHL) and sister #2 (from BDL/LGA) down to HHH for the first week of August. Well, ideally into CHS and out of HHH. I just hope someday that it will be financially feasible to actually use that airport because SAV is a pain in the neck, especially if there have to be multiple roundtrips to collect/drop off various people. This might be a candidate for a domestic award...

Back for round two at the salt-mines. Nice having a 1 mile a day commute including coming home for lunch:D

I was on the bike and couldn't stop laughing after the commentator's statement of the FRA goal:

Hmmmmm. Devils are in BOS on 11/15, and YYZ on 11/18. 30th birthday is 11/16. :-:

Word!

Before the last Westin Amazon gift card was sent out, I was considering keeping a bottle of whiskey in my drawer at work.*

I need that and how. My old hockey buddy just moved down to PB County and yesterday informed me that he had bought a 13 game season ticket plan for the Panthers because they offered Club level seats to him at half price. :rolleyes:

He also informed me that one of the tickets was mine and told me how much I was paying. :eek:

But he told me that we would have the chance to pick exactly the thirteen games that we want if we acted fairly quickly (I forget the deadline) so I sent him the check and now have been waiting for the schedule so that it will not conflict with any times that I know or speculate that I might be elsewhere. It will be tough and I really need a study session with the new schedule, so thank you ConciergeMike for the heads up. :)

I never got my Plat Gift thingy. :rolleyes:

You're welcome, sir. Please see below:

Neither did I. :( Although, who knows if I was even eligible for it...

ConciergeMike keeps delivering. He sure has made my life easy today. ^

I am in the business of customer service. :D

My plans for BOS and YYZ will almost certainly meet with :rolleyes: because time off INP for the other half in Oct/Nov. Poop. That plan lasted about as long as a fart in a breeze.

I'll put that in the budget. :cool:

I just sent out a two page diatribe explaining in excruciating detail the solution I developed for this particular need.

Let the :rolleyes: commence.
