hehe Thanks!
He's a real trip. At 6 months he already recognized sequential numeric patterns - I discovered that he had arranged his blocks in groups from left to right of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 blocks respectively. He was just sitting there admiring his work so I figured I'd see if it was a fluke and rearranged his grouping. He immediately corrected me by rebuilding the sequence. Yeah, he's had his own computer since he was 2.

well I'll show up..... damn someone did that joke

I would so love to have swapped my day with yours.
Saw surgeon, he told me in Nov if I didn pain clinic and more hand therapy he would break my hand and reset it. So put out 5 times for pain blockers to be inserted. hand therapy from the people who failed to spot it was broken in over 45 treatments, acupuncture and tens treatmebts only for him to say today that he is not going to operate and I have to accept that I amy never be able to drive, work or play on the floor with my grandchilden again.

i had to drive 120 miles in snow. to get to work and find out that the place i stay while im at work for the weekend is inacessable, forcing me to sleep in my car while it snows all weekend.

*big bear hugs* Been there done it many times... it's not fun at all. :S My worst wake-up call was the launch of Operation Anaconda... B-1 Bombers launching every 10 minutes starting at 4am till around 6am. It was like a snooze alarm from hell. Mind you I was living in a tent, so it was loud to the extreme.

No one said the sound of freedom was quiet. :p

lols..
i used to live next to Macdill AFB...the weeks leading up to DS1 were hell.

I do miss that sound from time to time. I have yet to find an equal to the B-1B as far as sound goes (sans this one F-16 NASA rolled out when I was at Langley AFB getting new desert camo boots... that thing was the loudest I've ever heard to date).

For those who have never had the pleasure to hear it, take this video (pay more attention to the audio and not the blair witch video), turn your speakers up to max, then amplify that by a time or two. The power of those engines is truly remarkable. The rumble in the ground, the thunderous popping of the full afterburner (which this was the first aircraft that I ever saw burn white hot--my previous experience were the F-15's which have a bright yellow tail)... the unmistakable smell of ignited JP-8. Ah it takes me back.
