Very nice - you're finally meeting part of the Box. I did meet up with a good group of Boxers last night - all but one I had met previously - and took a WN VDB on the way home from the meet-up.

I'm done grading (started at the airport) but now need to enter grades / send feedback.

The 4 of us who attended today all had drinks and dinner afterward. It really was a nice way to spend Sunday.

Funny (and true to FT form) -- all 3 FT'ers came with discount or free coupons, and I paid for our tickets with a free gift card I won. It seemed only right, given the movie.

If we had an event in my area, I would have enough coupons for all. At our event a couple of us had to split the tab on credit cards because none of us had the desire to hit the ATM.

Indeed we brought enough Entertainment book coupons for cheap tix for all who RSVP'ed.

I've already used coupons from my (first) 2010 book. I tend to buy another for more FF miles when the big cost cut comes.

Grades and comments entered for now. Another 90+ assignments to include 40 term papers due tomorrow.

We used no movie coupons in the 2009 book, so it was a good start to new book to use them. We typically get the book to use the supermarket coupons which more than cover the cost. Like you, we are waiting for the mad slash in price to get another one...

Tomorrow will be first day back from company :rolleyes:ffsite. Not looking forward to first half of morning...

And an awful ending. :rolleyes::mad::rolleyes:

Thankfully the NFC is fairly weak so they still have a shot at the playoffs, but they're not playing great (I'm looking at you, defense).

re: The A-Team talk.

I recommend Burn Notice to anyone that liked the A-Team back in the day. It's a similar show (guy helps people out, things go boom, need to stay one step ahead of the man), but well executed and people do die. :-: Emphasis on the well executed as the A-Team doesn't hold up I find Burn Notice to be great fun.

My book comes with two coupons for 50% discounts at BNA off-site parking.

I like burn notice for multiple reasons :D Not Miami being one of them. i do recognize some places on it however, so that is cool.



I am debating about staying in DFW for new years now, found a high end hotel for really cheap, and it is right near mortons, west end, and several museums i have wanted to visit for a long time.

Nice! I usually park at an off-brand (ie cheap) place that is cheaper than the normal discounted with coupon places. The service is a bit :rolleyes: but at least I am unsure they will be in business when I get back... :D

Actually, there is a small bit of public transportation in this town that easily gets people to the airport from a place within 1/2 mile from our place for $10 roundtrip. If one travels during peak traffic times, it is about $70 cheaper than cab fare and most parking rates...
