Good morning crew,

Three days until T-day. This is going to be one busy week! We're taking Thursday and Friday off, but we still have to get all the work done for those days as well as all the stuff for the weekend. And I still have to get in four or five hours a day of surfing around on the Internet, taking two hour lunches and wandering around the office annoying people. I don't think I can handle the stress.

Laugh it up,

Joe

"Teenagers are the demographic most likely to start smoking because they think it looks cool. Listen to me, teenagers. It's not smoking that makes you look cool. It's bullying classmates who are different." -Craig Ferguson

"I heard about a new insulin device for diabetics that could test tears instead of blood. That'll be weird when you're like, 'Hey, I need to test my blood sugar. Can you put on 'Marley and Me?'" -Jimmy Fallon

"Energy Secretary Stephen Chu testified before Congress yesterday that he thought it was a good idea to lend $535 million of our tax dollars to the solar panel company Solyndra right before they went bankrupt. If he'd taken all of that money, put it in a big pile and set it on fire, it would have produced more energy than Solyndra." -Jay Leno

On a family vacation one summer, we crossed Wyoming and noted several historical points of interest. The children were especially interested because they enjoyed the computer game "Oregon Trail," which gives players a taste of the hardships the pioneers endured. We stopped at the famous South Pass to look at the wagon tracks still visible in the dirt.

Squinting out over the desolate, wind-swept landscape, my daughter nodded and said grimly, "This is where my oxen always die."

I went out with some friends last night and had a couple too many drinks. Knowing that I was over the limit, I did something that I have never done before.

I took a bus home.

I arrived home safe and sound, which seemed really surprising as I have never driven a bus before.
