That looks a lot nicer than the high of 31 we're expecting the rest of the week here in the Twin Cities (with ice pellets on Thursday and Saturday :rolleyes:)

Can't complain here - the daily lows for the next week are about the average high for this time of year.

Fortunately, my floor has a Coke machine instead of a Pepsi one.
If Coke wants me back as a customer, either (A), make it w/ real sugar, or (B) bring back New Coke stateside.@:-) Simple formula, which they refuse to do. I do stock up on Coke during Passover, as the yellow caps indicate Coke made w/ sugar.

That's no man's land. I would stay up.

The one time I did that during the no man's land time, I managed to go 44+ hours without sleep. I still don't know how I pulled that one off.

Hmmm...did not know about the yellow caps. I will be stocking up on that this Spring then.

The average high here is 63, and we'll be about 10 degrees or more warmer - even w/ a little rain, I'll take it.

It also depends on the amount of Jews in an area as well. I would go to one grocery store and they never carry the Coke for Passover. I go to another one in an area where I believe there are less Jews, and they have the Coke for Passover. WTH?! So, I stock up there.

I went from Friday morning (getting up for work) through Monday with three hours sleep (11 p.m. Sat - 2 a.m. Sun) during my ZRH mistake fare run.

The town I live in has a very large Jewish population, so I think/hope I can find it with some ease. There is a Jewish market about a quarter-mile down the street that would most likely have it.

Yup! that's what I decided to do.

I've been trying to figure out this I-touch thing I have! I have to tell you, Mr.Brit gave me an I-touch for my birthday last year and all i have on it is what it came with.

So I decided I'd try to be clever and download a movie to watch while flying tomorrow.

Tsk! Tsk! Couldn't find the one I wanted to download. Fat lot of good that is, right?

So I downloaded some free games instead :D

When I did my FCO trip last Spring, I got about 3 hours of sleep on the TATL flight. Otherwise went from about 5 a.m. Central on Friday morning until 1 a.m. CET on Sunday morning without sleep.

Although I'm sleep-disordered, I'm going to seek some sleep.

I am soon as well...though not having to wake up until 9-930a tomorrow does help my cause a bit :D

I have to be up before then to write another conference paper (among other tasks).
