It really sucks that my 'body clock' is so tuned into waking up at 615am or so!:rolleyes: At least I didn't drink a lot last night -- so head is clear!^ I definitely didn't get enough sleep during the night -- guess a nap will be in order -- later today!;)

G'morning.

I'm guessing 16" without drifting here. I need to go out back and measure, but that is what it looks like.

I am currently in downsizing mode around the house as I prepare to move on from Stillwater, OK. So I had some mugs that a friend had wanted at one time so I decided to send her way for the holidays. I had a Staples coupon for up to $15 off a UPS package shipment. I went to the local staples and the postage for the package was $14.28 so I was pleased that I would get close to the total amount of the coupon. Well the casier was not so good as I noticed this morning on the receipt that she gave me the complete $15 off the shipping. So I got the full $15 worth of the coupon! Thank You Staples!!

I am currently scheduled to fly out on Dec. 24th down to IAH and hoping that the wintery mix they are predicting for OKC doesn't materialize until after I leave that morning. Don't need a scene like in the NYC area. I did get my upgrade this morning on the 735!! YEA!!

Morning Box!

Had an amazing night. The S/O works for a small company, and last night the management team was taken out for a surprise evening. We started out at Sushi Rock and has some great sushi. We were then given tickets to Trans Siberian Orchestra at the Q. The real surprise is that we were in the front row.

Seeing something like that from the front was really amazing, and even though I didn't know much of their music before I went, I'm a definite fan now. The entire thing was cool as h*ll!

I posted some pics on FB. It was a great night!

Morning, Box.

19" here as of 7pm last night, so probably closer to two feet in total.

Off to attempt the AC Expressway and go home and come right back - no dinner with icurhere2, as per The One Who Controls Everything.

I didn't mean to poop on your experience when I Tweeted you, but if you like TSO live on stage, more power to you. I thought it was the worst concert I had ever attended. JMO; glad you had a good time.

No worries bud! It isn't for everyone, but we really enjoyed it. It wasn't just the music - it was the whole experience of seeing it so up-close-and-personal.

Congratulations!! That explains the pics I saw last night!

Currently eat leftovers from a clients party on Friday evening. Sliced sourdough bread with brie and portabella Mushrooms and Shrimp stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon!! :D

Good morning Box.

Anyone want to go dig my car out at ABE? We fly home tomorrow and I don't have a shovel in the trunk. :rolleyes:

Giada really needs to cover up a bit more when cooking.:rolleyes:

Don't see that happen, it is Giada and her Giant Peaches.....afterall (a little foodnetworkhumor.com joke)

Good morning box. I need to get dressed to do battle with the snow. It's hard to tell how much I got because of drifting.

oh well not much more, it is 2:10am and i have brain mush after seeing avatar :D

Did you think the movie was worth all the money they spent to make it and was it revolutionary?

I was just thinking that there has to be some experienced person at say 45-55 years of age(similar to Brian Williams at NBC) who can sit there and read the news and do the occasional good interview.

I've been told I'd make a great news reader after my 2007 holiday video. Of course that was the Brits and none are in the industry.:rolleyes: Last week there was one newer news reader in NYC who charged ahead and said CHanukkah like she was some expert on it. She said it 3 times in a row. I'm sure her ear piece went nuts because after the weather she dropped hard CH

During the big storm in 06 I got stuck out in LAS (:D). I got back to NY and of course my car was plowed in. I was so proud of myself that I had purchased one of those collapsible shovels. I unearthed my trunk and pulled it out.

Took one big hefty dig and the shovel snapped in half. :rolleyes:

ERRONEOUS.


useless.com is showing my flight this evening is on time. I just checked in and there's only 7 seats occupied. :eek: They changed my a/c to an E190 from an a319 so it looks like they are doing some dynamic fleet utilization and my flight has a prayer of going. This is a new phenomenon for US who used to fleet plan during snow storms by :rolleyes:'ing from PHX.

Not at all, the effects were all that kept me at the movie however, so taken from the 'would you sit there for the story' argument, yes i guess it was 'worth it' to hold interest.
