Default So who else is stuck at work today?

The drive in was nice, but this is going to be one long, boring day...

At least I have STR to entertain me!

Planning on a New Year's Day hike with the wife at Casper's Wilderness Park. I spend enough time away from her that I really look forward to the times when we can be together... after 35 years of marriage, it just seems to get better and better.

Again, appreciate the invite & look forward to riding with you in the near future.



Happy New Year - 2008!

I got laid off last Friday and I'm sick so I'm putting in a half-arsed effort to look for work. I wish I felt better to ride...

Yup, I'm stuck at work today. When I pulled into the parking lot this morning, it looked like a ghost town. Looks like only one other office is open besides us in the whole building.

And my boss is one for keeping schedules, holiday or no holiday. So I'll be here till the bitter end today...

Something better will come along... it always seems to. Even when things seem the darkest... you are now not alone. Remember, positive thoughts ... sickness just hates those.

This will be a great 2008 for you!

We are here. But at least we're not so busy today. Christmas eve I thought I'd never get out of here. Wish I was riding. It's supposed to be nice and warm out today. Happy New Year to you all. Let's count our blessings we're not OCTA bus drivers or AAA tow drivers. Those guys are working till 4 AM to get the drunks home. Great for the drunks but not so great for them.
