Hello Box, greetings from the C1 PC at EWR. I have some time to kill before my flight to LAX.

Rest up you'll need all your strength to make that 405/101 drive

He didn't think I could hear him and was quite surprised when I apologized for him being a Phlyers Phan.

Shouldn't he have been the one apologizing for being a phan of such a sucktastic team?
:D

It is about time to leave the office, I think. I like being able to work when no one else is around. I was ridiculously productive here today.

2 of my 3 flights last week were DirecTV equipped (other flight was C:rolleyes:C:rolleyes:). I made the F cabin as low-class as you can get flipping between Blind Date and COPS. :o

I wish I could fast forward the movies, because I wanted to actually finish watching public enemies, instead of wathcing 1 hour and 5 min of it twice. :rolleyes:

Yo B:rolleyes:x!

I watched The Hangover on my pvp on the way back to EWR last night. Funny movie. ^

What are people's view on MLK day as a holiday?

My previous employer (a law firm) had it as a holiday (primarily to appease the firm's clients, who were apparently demanding that the firm appear to be "diverse" and "inclusive"), but discouraged people from actually taking it.

My current employer (not a law firm) does not have it as a holiday.

My significant other's employer (a school district) does have it as a holiday.

I wonder if other federal holidays had trouble getting acceptance....Sure, not many people celebrate Presidents Day or Columbus Day, but Memorial Day is pretty well-accepted these days. Did it, or other well-known holidays like it, have to overcome any "you aren't really a holiday" years?

Thanks. :eek: In your opinion, would it be better to take the PCH then cut up through the canyon like we were discussing yesterday?

Am enjoying this life of leisure :D -- lying in a hammock in my bikini (way too hot to hang out at the beach!):rolleyes: Went to said beach at 6:30am, NIA class at 8am!^ Loving all the tropical fruits served at breakfast!:cool:

The rocket serve is entirely timing. Toss the ball, and make your swing right as the ball reaches peak height. I find it helps to do the toss with the A button rather than an upwards flick of the controller.

As far as returning the rocket goes, you know it'll always be a forehand when you're on the right, and a backhand on the left. I just have my arm on the right side, and do a light swing to return it. If you can hit it, you're good.

And in today's "quid pro quo" department, I give to you the following nugget of Wii Tennis wisdom: I have found that the rocket serve is easily returned if you start to swing as soon as you see the smoke coming off the ball.

Our school district does not have Columbus Day or Veteran's Day off. My beau just gets 'floating' holidays -- as their business never shuts down!:rolleyes:

I get the major holidays off, New Years, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. All of the other ones are not company holidays. Instead we get 'floating holidays' in lieu of those days off. That works better for me because taking (MLK day, Presidents Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day) off feels more like a wasted day where I would stay home and watch TV. Rather, I can bulk the days together and use the time better, or save it for those personal odds and ends days that crop up during the year. :-:
