With the airlines and cancelled flights, one never knows.

I'll be happy to buy you a couple cold ones for your birthday acidtripwow, and we will toast to you from across the pond Manuel! So sorry that you couldn't swing the trip but your job situation sounded pretty good if I am remembering correctly. See you next time and have a great birthday watching our progress from afar!

Dom ...

While the CJ '08 committee folk are busting our respective a$$es moving tables, stuffing badge holders, and generally humping to get the meet going, you could be our ambassador of good will to the visiting masses, and show them what is hot in SoFl. A tour of downtown, the gables, Coconut Grove, and, of course, South Beach should be a real treat and revelation for out of towners, and you are just the man for the job. Maybe jp can join you so you don't miss any beer bars along the way.

Yes, I think you are onto something here ... where's the signup list?

Hey Tom! I have no doubt that the late shift will be the most fun, so your planning is perfect, as usual. See you next week.

Default Any NHL fans? Dallas vs. San Jose Friday night...

There's a playoff game between the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks on Friday (assuming the Sharks don't get eliminated in the first 4 games). I'd love to find a place to watch - it's televised on Versus. It's a late one - start time is 10:00PM Eastern

Anybody interested? Any sportsbar places nearby that might be coerced into showing the game? I'd promise to buy mass quantities of beer and chicken wings...

Pete

Worth a try... though it's not "soccer, rugby, horse racing or golf"...
