    Definitely. Really looking forward to a few warm, sunny days, and to adding a new destination to my list - never been to PS before.

    However, the bad weather traffic jams and resulting anxiety are no fun!

    gets the adrenaline going, and then you get the option of a rubdown from the TSA! :p

    PS FL or PS CA? Never been to the former, had a lot of fun with the latter because of Joshua tree.

    Fortunately I live downtown and can walk to work, so I don't often have to deal with the traffic situation, :) and try to fly from DCA whenever possible so I can use metro. Have to drive tomorrow, though, since it's an 0600 flight and metro won't be running yet.

    I love DC even though I've never really lived there only for about three months at a time.

    Good M/A/E all.
    I'm pretty sure I've caught some episodes of that on US television. One of the local "family" channels.

    Morning all. Cup of tea has been consumed, time for my naked cycle.

    President Obama was in MIA yesterday and the traffic was more horrible than usual. He was here for important fundraising.

    Probably not. The networks and inter-tubes must have their content in the constant news cycle.

    Are you attending the DO? If so, I will have to keep my distance or pre-emptively strike.

    Friends were telling me it was Lin-sane yesterday.

    As for political fundraising, back in my day, you could get by with only $100K for a campaign. These days, that won't buy you lunch for the SuperPac buddies! :eek:

    I don't watch the show. I like to remember Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams.

    My first trip to Europe was on a Pan Am 747. Mrs. T and I sat upstairs via one of her client's who worked for the airline upgrading our non-rev ticket. Our past neighbor was a retired Pan Am pilot and WW II ace. I enjoyed that airline.

    It was Lin-sane. Very good game. I was unhappy with the results. I would like to see the Knicks win one more championship.

    Folks were paying $ 30K for the meal with the Prez and $ 15K for a picture with him. At the DO Mr. Petersen will let you take a picture with him for a Kiva donation. A better value and more impressive keepsake.

    Is that a complaint?

    So as a candidate and not as President. I know it's wishful thinking, but I hope his campaign paid the costs of the trip rather than taxpayers.

    Wouldn't it be easier to bring a can of gasoline and a match?

    No, that would not be a good interior decorating move to our newly anointed Lounge! :)

    I like the framed photos of everyone the team has loaned to. We may have to get a bigger room, smaller photos, or rotate them every few months.

    and hopefully we will have a wall for the Fellows we sponsor!

    we may need sturdier lamps though. fc keeps on knocking them over with that mop of his because he can't see beyond that cap he is wearing! :D
