Corporate x-mas party tomorrow, well feed and well drunk party, if I can only manage not end up in an empty hotel room! :-O

What's everyone up to this weekend? For me it's going to be a little work, a lot of catching up on sleep, some Christmas shopping and possibly a great deal of lounging around with a good book. Any better ideas? cheers, Chris Maunder
Scanning family photos for next year's calendar. More work refactoring a gigantic app to (hopefully) allow multithreaded access. Consuming tasty malt beverages. Possibly chatting with my sister's boyfriend who's staying with us (an Aussie vacationing in Wisconsin in December. Not my place to judge... :~ ) If i get really bored, washing the ever-growing pile of dishes in the kitchen, so's i can actually eat here.

Going to the bar tonight with my friends, same tomorrow night. Going to help my old roommate get a virus off his computer tomorrow afternoon, as well as some off-roading in the Jeep, which should be fun. I was hoping to get some Christmas shopping done, as my girlfriend keeps talking about "I bought you something again today honey.." for the last few days, and I don't want to get too far behind. But, if that doesn't happen this weekend, I'm sure I can get it done some other weekend. Anyways, if I were you, I'd ditch the book and take a nice drive in that car you bought (didn't you buy a car recently?). Take it out to the country, and have some fun driving on country back-roads. It's real relaxing, plus I'm sure Canuckda has some nice countryside to offer. Anyways, hope you have a great weekend! Everyone knows you deserve it. :) Chris Richardson

The dreaded Christmas shopping for me this weekend too. Some time reading, and some perl scripting. And a little football on Sunday of course. No stress, no worries.

We (me, g/f and my son Ian) are all flying to San Diego tomorrow morning for 8 eight days of business/pleasure. Assuming the plane gets off the ground. It's snowing quite a bit right now, and there's sleet expected in the morning. At least the airport is 15 minutes away! And it'll be in the high 60's in San Diego! That reminds me...I wonder if that young whippersnapper wants to show an old gheezer like me around his dad's work? What was his name...oh yeah...David....David Stone!

Let's see...my Neice's birthday party (I'm workin' the dough ornament painting station), hang the Christmas lights and throw together the new P4 3.0 GHz machine with dual monitors that showed up today. Which means a lot of moving things around (flip a coin to see which one of my lucky employees gets my hand me down 2.4 GHz machine). Should be a busy one :) Drew.

For me, it's shopping on Saturday morning followed by our office Xmas party this afternoon. Just got back from CD, etc... shopping and watching south park on my PC while fidgeting with my Blog's code. Tomorrow, it's probably fixing my DVD writer (should be intertaining) and reading a book or something. Cheers, Simon sig ::

That sounds good. Our flight this morning got cancelled! We're going to try a 4PM flight, but I don't know about that either, since it looks like there will be more snow. Anyways, send me an email with some contact info and, assuming we eventually get there, I'll give you a call. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!
