New Dude...that sucks!
As discussed, though, I guess you did see it coming.

I was hoping to have another shot at dinner with you guys in Paris...but I guess we'll just have to do round 2 in the states now...gives you a fighting chance of bringing wife and child to my home for Independence Day.

Nice choice of restaurant btw..please thank your friend that recommended it. I would have never found it and it was very good.

Luck to you!
You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! Laurie Anderson

New Yep, working on plan B
Hope your arteries recover.

Independence day sounds doable.

I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.

New Babysitter survived
Youngster was happy until we walked in the door - then she suddenly realized something was wrong with her world and promptly melted down.

We haven't brought out the devils finger puppet since. Still wondering if it can be used as a motivational tool.

New The answer has always been
to keep your hand on your beer at all times.

This solves 2 issues.

None of the females can accuse you of anything...

...and "Admin" can't keep replacing 3/4 empties for fulls without you knowing ;-)
