Almost as unbelievable as teh game being "broadcast" via closed-circuit feed? :p

How did Pavon miss that PK?

I'll take the W. Now I just need to figure out how to get to JNB in June. Working on some creative routings through MPM and HRE. Should get some nice FM lines next year. :D

I wouldn't call 13-3 a decisive victory. That being said, UF is still the best team in the country.

My choice is a G26 with the +2 magazine extension. Difficult for me to concealed carry something bigger.

I was carrying the Enhanced Sigma (same size as a G22) at the time. With the width of my shoulders and losing weight, it's getting easier to hide a standard.

I agree.

And I absolutely cringed when Urb left Tebow in for the last play, after the game was decided.

I actually watched part of it on what I think was a webstream of live Honduran TV. The Honduran federation is known for this nonsense, as you may recall from the last time the US played a qualifier down there.

I just can't believe Conor Casey scored twice. He was utterly useless in the first half (the part that I watched).

HHonors used to be a lot more generous — far more bonuses, discounts on redemptions for more than one night that grew with each additional night, milestone bonuses that you automatically got after doing things like staying a certain number of times in a certain period of time, and the quarterly profile update bonuses that could give you a few thousand points a year if you remembered to update your profile online each quarter. It's not a horrible program now, but certainly a far cry from what it was pre-2003/2004.

Don't forget the online booking bonus, car rental bonus, airline partner bonus, and the old transfer to miles rates - no less the number of points that needed to be redeemed for hotels.

I'm scared to see what happens with our health insurance premium next year. We haven't been told yet.

We were just told and our state benefit election fair is in a week. And I already carry the most expensive of all health options available to state employees.

Yeah, he scored the equaliser in the second half and headed in the go-ahead goal after some incidental contact with the goalie.

I predicted a tie but am content with the victory. :D

We're a few min from Bergen Mall. Maybe we can DO the diner when we're in NJ sometime. I like it but my wife doesn't. Could also meet for lunch when I'm teaching in Englewood.al Wine in River Edge

That would be very good. We go out there three or four times a month and we had been having lunch in Englewood at Baumgarts, which was always one of the best places in the area. However, the last time that we went there, the food was awful. It gets one more chance but if it fails that one, it is gone.

There's also a decent wine store across the road from Bloomingdales. If you don't know it - Total Wine in River Edge www.totalwine.com

Total Wine gets good marks from lots of people but I had never seen one until they opened in Boca Raton last year. It had a pretty good selection although I was not wild about their layout and found it a bit difficult to find exactly what I wanted. That merely is quibbling since out of the first three bottles that I bought there, two were corked or spoiled in some way. Maybe their experience did not transfer to dealing with the weather in Florida and the bottles were exposed to an excessive amount of heat. They will also get another chance when I have a wine emergency and am near that store but I definitely will check out River Edge one day. Thanks for the heads-up.

sbm12, where did you stay when you were at Te Anau? Thanks.
