Crap... I can say "crap" on this post, right? Crap, crap, crap... it's happened again same as last year and for the same reason. Started a new job on October 19th and, once again, eating and paying bills has to come before PASS especially with the love of my life also being out of work. Crap. I'm not going to make it again this year. "Crap" isn't really what I'm thinking but it's the nicest thing I can come up with on the spur of the moment. I guess I should just be thankful that I found a new job so quickly. Crap...
Wow! sorry 'ol friend :crying:
Wish I could get across the pond to attend PASS 🙁

Lynn, if you are operating sans-halo, and Jeff is back to flinging pork chops, I think I'll lie low for a while.
Lie low, heck, I'm off to Valhalla :crazy:

Nooooo!
I understand, but... Nooooooo!
You're doing the right thing, of course, but ... Noooooo!
Nuts. Now I'm really mad that I didn't go out for drinks with you when you where in RI.

Heh... that's a lesson in political correctness for me. "Nooooooo" is the polite way for saying "Craaaaapppp". 😛
There're a lot of folks I wanted to meet and some that I wanted to "meat" 😉 This sucks so bad that it has its own gravity field.

Now THAT's funny! 😛 Thanks for the early morning laugh, Bob. 🙂

You're welcome, Jeff. 🙂
Grant, I'm a poor substitute for Jeff, but I'd be happy to have a drink with you next week. I'll even buy the first round.

Joke for today.
Bob walks into a bar in Seattle. It's crowded with PASS participants. He hollers out:
"When I drink, EVERYBODY drinks!!"
The crowd cheers and orders new drinks. Bob receives many welcoming handshakes and pats on the back.
Minutes later, Bob finishes his drink and shouts out:
"When I have another drink, EVERYBODY gets another drink!!"
More cheers. New orders all around. Much congeniality ensues. A good time is had by several.
Finally Bob reaches for his wallet and shouts out:
"When I pay, EVERYBODY PAYS !!"
Ba-dum-bump...
But Jack, I will gladly stand you the price of the soft drink of your choice.
And Gail, I'm just hoping to see you rock out, like your video 😉

Absolutely, track me down. Monday-Friday night, I'll be somewhere around a bunch of DBA's.
