Well, at least then we'd only have to pay for 5 semesters of college rather than 24 (3 kids).

Morning or afternoon? The afternoon of the 21st is packed for me. I could squeeze it in early morning though. To be honest, the 19th will work so much better for me. Would you consider moving it up?

Good thing I'm shooting for BQ in 2010. SO I best not miss. I guess I'll have to put in some extra miles early in the year to get to 2000 in 2012 or will someone adjust the pace bunny accordingly.

The end of the line for the Mayans happened a really long time ago. I call this 'extrapolation'. Why, they could be off plus or minus a few years. Hopefully not minus.

I guess that'll put a damper on the holidays. What with all the wailing and gnashing of teeth...

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
