I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah, you know it's fine. I am embarrassed by the behavior of my kid, but it'll be fine. I have some medicine infused water waiting for him and if he'll drink it, he'll be calm in 30 min. If not I'll tape the rest of the game and the house will be quiet until he either bathes or goes to bed. His DS is hidden away and he will throw a fit about that, but at least he won't be up all night playing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, good luck.

Now I'm thinking about going to NYC for the crossword tournament, and have the eternal debate: plane vs. bus. $200/1 hour vs. $40/5 hours.

Actually, when I lay it out like that, it makes me feel better about flying. My time is worth more than $20 an hour.

You know how I didn't want the cats to get into the crawlspace down in the basement? Yeah, I left the door open bringing up the laundry and when I remembered, I bolted down there. Devi was on top of the washer completely COATED in cobwebs, and when I reached for her, she moved to jump up there. Hmph. But at least I know she'll come outta there.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Inconvenient is probably closer to true than my reaction, which is near-panic. It's like being snowed in with only one book.

Fortunately, it was a short-lived outtage. But the Blackberry is a nice backup.

Good luck, msbelle.

Now I'm thinking about going to NYC for the crossword tournament, and have the eternal debate: plane vs. bus. $200/1 hour vs. $40/5 hours.

Don't forget to factor in the extra time you spend in an airport versus a bus station. And transportation to the airport vs. the bus station, especially on the NY side.

Note: When I used to take the express bus to/from Framingham, it was generally 3h45 (from Boston, 4h15). It was almost never worth it to fly.

msbelle, I hope you're getting to watch the game. Especially what just happened!
