Given the new xml based paradigm of documents, along with the old VBA interfaces to Office, seems like it could be done in a way that the "technophobe" users could understand and get behind it.

I think it's possible to do something similar to this with Office 2007, but I haven't really tried yet.

Documents hosted on SharePoint that are checked out and edited have automatic version history when they are saved and checked back in. But I think it's possible to do some of it without hosting on Sharepoint — at least that's what I've been told.

Absolute downpour here tonight - so much so that an area that used to have a tree trunk was roiling like a spring.

That's what I'm afraid of. Maybe I'll just hide out at my mothers house or something or just go watch the parade sans camera.

I'm literally envious at the moment.

It was indeed something to see water coming out of the ground in such a manner from an old stump. The item that caused me worry was this was near the top of the hill.

No surprise. Ground water follows the ground contour. The old roots created a conduit for the water to escape.

Have one night in the Park Hyatt Vendome thus far - it's a pain needing to find a standard room during FFN.

I still can't find the right music to do for my holiday video. I might have to go with a "duet"

We just returned from tonight's Halloween party. I did not dress up tonight, as we had to leave 20 minutes after I got home. My partner wore a monk costume he's had for several years. It fit right in with the guy dressed as a very pregnant and drunk nun that we met at the party. Tomorrow night my other half is going as a devil in a blue dress… I get the pleasure of helping him apply lots of red makeup for this one.

I had a flight attendant today for the third time in less than two weeks on a Shuttle America operated UA Express flight. Fortunately she's very good. She is almost a total clone of Julie Hagerty's character Elaine in the movie Airplane — tall, thin, attractive, with a soft, high pitched, breathy voice. She recognized me immediately upon boarding in DEN. After chatting with her some it sounds like I'll probably see her again soon; she flies in and out of ATL several times a week.

Not sure I even want to see that one :D

btw your costume is known as 'the clothed nudist' according to earlier comments today.

@Scott6067: The menus for your friend are packed. I gave up and am checking a bag. You'll see them in FRA.

I had the same FA multiple weeks in a row on the Saturday morning BNA-MEM segment - was more surprising to her than it was to me, as I was always in my 3A.

Appears I'm going to Paris right after Christmas breakfast. As I value my sanity, I'm flying out of DCA that day despite needing to return to IAD :rolleyes: Now I have to determine whether to engage in Hyatt running, simply burn the Hyatt points I used to reserve the rooms, or a little bit of each.

If I'm taught the fundamental principles of BD abuse, I can handle predictable. :D
