If the Bears were playing my beloved Packers that I'd be there. Since it's not football season then I'll stay home.

It may be the original, but it isn't the best. I'l take Giordano's, Gino's East or even Lou Malnatis over Uno.

I know that I may be starting a fight here and a moderator may need to lock the thread, but we all can't live forever.:D
 
I just might pop in on you. Seems that my eye surgery went well but I was told today not to lift anything over 10 lbs for he next two weeks, so as I get to fly Via SW airlines for free (Daughter works for SW) and I won't be able to do a show this week-end if everything works out and we can get a flight out Sat and return late Sunday or Monday.....well we'll see.

Still don't have internet access at the office, so we are still using the "dial up"

That, coupled with a lap top keyboard equals "NNO THANKS"

Had typed a long response, computer ate it.

Mike, please PM Dawn, she is more patient. My e-mail is lost until the office computer issues are solved.

Hopefully back to normal tomorrow.
 
Watch yourself there, Mr. Kennedy!!!

The computer guys have RESTORED my higher speed access and my normal keyboard. Ya'all are in TROUBLE now.

LIGGETT passed me, how embarrasing!!!
