Getting ready to go to my class.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Eating some IC, reading new issue of RS ( hilarious cover and story and a Big Lebowski retrospective on it's 10th anniversary. THey're issuing a DVD in a Bowling bag cover.), and watching some of the convention.

After my eye Dr. appointment I went straight to the local bar..then the seafood restaurant..now home surfing the net and getting small..

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Making the 300,000 AZ post .. I could have done the 200,000 back in November but I froze at the keyboard..

It's just posts..you make it seem important:smash::-D

Do you spend more time traveling than home?

Right now... trying to keep the peace even though I feel pretty ineffectual. Still in a bit of pain but it's manageable. I should be doing homework but I have to wait for the little guy to go down for a nap first.

 

[Warp Daddy]

taking the Queen to the mall today for some -- need some new bathing suits for our trip-- then tomorrow we hit the links together for a round of golf and the 19th hole !

Getting ready to watch the price of crude oil likely SOAR today after reading some weather blogs about what many folks think now Hurricane Gustav will/could do next week

Many amateur hurricane forcast "guru's" are thinking Gustav could be entering the Gulf of Mexico later this week as a Cat 3 Hurricane and there's LOTS of really warm water just sitting in the Gulf of Mexico right now just waiting to feed that storm.

Need to keep an eye on this one, because if it reaches it's potential some shoreline around the Gulf of Mexico could be looking at a Cat 5 hurricane about this time next week

Do you spend more time traveling than home?

Lately.... YES...

But thats because the company is doing well..

Things slow down during winter.. Then I work from home most of the time and snowboard every damn day...

That's rough! Though I guess as long as it isn't on your dime, maybe it's not so bad. Get to see a lot of new things, right? And great that the travel eases off in the winter so you can board.

You'd be suprised with business travel vs. pleasure travel and what you get to(or don't get to) see.

Most of the time, business travel, is land at some airport somewhere that looks an awfull lot like the airport you took off from except that the tee-shirts there have a different cities name on them. Take generic looking taxi/train to a generic looking hotel. Then have a meeting in some conference room that could fit in just about anywhere in the world. Finish the meeting, back in the generic looking taxi/train to the generic looking airport, and hope that the travel delay's you in all likelyhood encounter won't be too bad that day and that eventually later that day you'll actually get to sleep in a bed that you put the sheets on.

Definitely does NOT sound like fun. :???:

Just put the little guy down for a nap... once I'm sure he'll stay down, I have to start my 336 pgs of reading. Used to knock that sort of thing off in a few hours... but that was before kids and constant interruptions.

yup...
2 days in Arkansas... 2 days in Germany... No time for checking out the sights except dinner... Which by the time I eat I'm usually mentally exhausted...
Kinda bummed this Germany trip got cut short... Now i can't see my friend and her husband for dinner.. He's an Army Ranger... Just got back from an Afghanistan tour wnated to thank him and buy them dinner....

Going to Seattle next month.. Going to take a couple days to visit friends..
Going to Vegas in Oct.. Going to take a few days to just chill...

Meanwhile... I've got enough frequent flier mileage to fly most of you out west for a trip...

My bosses know that I will need time in Winter... It was part of the deal when I started...

 

[severine]

I just made a cup of TS English Toffee Mocha (basically like a flavored hot chocolate and part of the new fall line that isn't available yet!). A little chilly in the house today even with only the one door open to the outside for fresh air. Going to sit back and start my homework.

The travel sucks.. But meeting different people from around the country and the world is pretty cool... I've worked with people all over the world and it's amazing how similar people are..

most people just want to make money... own a house and feed their kids...

But when it comes to business... It's another story.. Every culture does it differently...

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Muching on a biscotti and coffee and adding back some energy plays, looks like Gustaf could go Cat 4-5 in the gulf by the weekend.

 

[severine]

Well, I managed to read 35 pages anyway before the interruptions got to be too annoying.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Back from helping with deliveries in the Philly area..we set some nice custom shaped monuments..now post-whoring to the max..I need a shower badly..I'm dirty..
