And let me tell you, the cost of providing wireless in a conference space is a huge racket. The hotel makes such bank on that.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
They could do a better job of it, then! Our IT guys are there struggling to manage the connection every time.

Access to the wifi was part of the casino's Resort Fee, which covered the pool and spa and all that. And the spa had additional fees. But I understand that in Vegas, they're after every dollar, so I don't begrudge them. I just don't use anything else that requires a fee.

OK, ran the dog, did some laundry, did some dog training with my sister in the park. Now I gotta go measure the garage and see if Home Depot has some kind of racks I can install.

It's apparently the time of year when my gate doesn't want to close (it certainly seems to be seasonal, for whatever reason), which I found out when my neighbor called to tell me he had my dog. Hooray for ID tags with my phone number on Walter's collar!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My son is 9 and goes to the bathroom by himself in public, but it hasn't been a super long time - 2 years, max.
Sounds about right. When he was around 6 my son started wanting to use the men's room all the time, except he often felt nervous going in there by himself so he wanted me to come too. Er.... so we usually tried to find a family restroom, or he came into the women's, or he sucked it up and went into the men's. It wasn't until he was 7 that he felt comfortable going in by himself.

Glad Walter had tags! My gate doesn't like to close or open when it's humid, because the wood swells so much.

Yeah, that probably has something to do with it, although there also appears to be soil subsidence issues to complicate the matter. I don't know if that can properly be called seasonal. But I also suspect that the two forces are to some degree in opposition to each other.
Swept up the grass clippings and put everything away, so I guess that's it for the front yard. Maybe I'll start my taxes, see how that goes...

Hi Becky!

Yes, I need to look through Tom's back catalog for gifts... for me.
And let me tell you, the cost of providing wireless in a conference space is a huge racket. The hotel makes such bank on that.
I only stay in high-end hotels if work is paying for it or if it's a con hotel. When you have that many nerds in one concentrated space all trying to use wifi? HA. HA. HA.
I was very productive yesterday. So far today, I slept in super late, made coffee, and an omelet. I'm not getting anything else done until this Blackhawks game is over.
