Good Morning Box.

While I wasn't stirring up the economy or riding an elephant in DC last night, I was spending my day at my son's soccer tourney. The season has started again. It seems that taking two months off from soccer pratice with a broken collar bone didn't harm my son's ability to play.

First game was interesting and exciting. At half time the other team had already scored 3 goals to our none. My son was put into the game and took the kick off and promptly scored a goal. By the end of the game he had scored a total of 3 goals (love a hat trick) and tied the game 3-3. Yes I was the total idiot on the sidelines cheering.

Second game wasn't as exciting (that's mommy speak for my kid didn't score) and it ended in another tie 2-2.

Off to play the final game this morning. There is a strong possibility that the boys will be in the consolation game later today as they are currently in 4th place.

I reached in my shorts this morning to find the remains of the flower that ALCO gave me. At least I didn't have to wear one in my hair.

That's so cute.

I think Thursday was my complete :rolleyes: mail day. I chronicled the events in the box.

Wow. That elephant photo is funnier in print than having seen it live.

Was that the only one you found? I believe there were 50 originally created.

Translation: "T'was an average Saturday."

Saw a stupid billboard on a way home - "(My city's) first (obscure medical specialty)! Opening soon! Accepting new patients!".

Glad to know that an organization that doesn't yet exist would want customers :rolleyes:

I do hope CO is doing research to make sure they aren't in the middle of a brewing international incident with Inda and if they are have the appropriate response to deal with the histerics of the contributing lost baggage.

Apparently, Jose Canseco is going to fight Rodney King in "celebrity" boxing. Almost made it to noon without requiring a beer.

Finally back in the Box after a long week of "gettin er done"!

First order of bidness now that I am back - I need suggestions for HKG, including must see sights, clothiers for wife and I, and most important, food!

We are doing HKG with a stop in NRT on the way home, departing 2 weeks from yesterday.

Global 7 Airways announces the immediate sale of five MD-11ERs at fair market value. These aircraft have been replaced by efficient 777-200ERs as part of an ongoing fleet modernization project.

As part of my morning errands, I got an Amazon gift card at the CoinStar with my "jar of change accrued while walking to work". Finding 76 cents on Friday alone, I'm always surprised ...

Whatever brunch you all go to, ensure ahead of time that said brunch does not market a build your own Bellini bar.


Nope just Five Guys! I am no longer a Five Guy Virgin :eek:! (double Meaning there)

And on the subjects of the box, ALCO and I found the Poop reference of the day on the MEtro!

After a little reflection on the flight I have choosen to remove the pic.

So was their blood, sex, or jail last night on the DC DO?

None that I am aware of.

How long does it take to transfer from OAK to SFO? Can it be done in 2:30? jetBlue's lack of redeyes home from the left coast on Saturday nights thwarts many fun routings I've seen, but I think that I can do JFK-SAN-SLC-LGB-OAK//SFO-BOS-JFK in 24 hours.

SFO is listed as 55min from OAK on BART. So I think on a Saturday night it would be possible provided you don't screw around with security.

BART is on the verge of going on strike as of midnight tonight. Hope your trip isn't planned for next weekend. Keep your eye on the Bay Area news for changing information.

Any way to add LAS into the mix, or hit JFK-BOS as the initial segment?

SPG folks - how long does it take for the 500 bonus points from the "high-call volume" website to credit?
