I don't really have anything to add.  I just felt badly that there were no responses to this topic.  Although, if it helps, there'll probably be booze this weekend (we're doing the holiday thing with my side of the family this weekend) because the cousin with impulse issues is at home with his wife awaiting the imminent arrival of his second child.  Well, not at home.  They have no power because of the ice storms down in Georgia and South Carolina.  And I assume they're going to head to the hospital soon since she's 3 cm dialated - but what do I know?  I can't believe they're naming the baby Jackson.  Coincidentally, ABC by the Jackson 5 is right this minute playing on my new, free ipod shuffle.  Oh, wait.  It ended.  But now it's "Let It Whip" by the Dazz Band or something like that.  We did a routine to this song back in high school, but I only remember the whipping part.  Um, I'm done.

Come work for me, and you'll have plenty of reasons to drink (aside from the obvious reason -- because you're working for me.)

Teenagers need to be exterminated.

Hi, dc!  How's it going?  Conspicuous consumption working well for you?  The bookkeeper yelled at me today because of my yellow sweettart stash.  Well, yelled is a bit strong.  Hi!

People are spending lots of money, and the adults are not too bad yet.  However, the teenagers seem to be making up for it in obnoxiousness and stupidity.  I ran off three of them for trying to steal, and two groups for being obnoxious.

Do you have handheld electronic sudoku games?  Not that it matters at this point as you'd have to drive it down to me in the next 7 hours, but just for future reference.

I have that sudoku crap all over the place, but nothing electronic, fortunately.

I tried to drink last night.  Even poured myself one.  I was just too damn tired to drink it.  How sad is that?  It's still sitting on my desk though.  *sigh*  I suppose I should start cleaning.

too lazy to drink?  are you having suicidal thoughts of late?  how can you be too tired?  go back to the desk.  drink and drink a few more to make up for lost time.

You're a loony.  Gah.  I have an hour to finish wrapping, take a shower, pack and get on the road.

Sorry.  It was a limited time offer.  On the plus side, I survived Virginia.
