There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

It could be our version of Easy Rider. Except at the end we don't have to be horribly maimed by passing rednecks. Also, we would stop in Houston because we both have to go back to work on Monday.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I just upgraded my Qwest internet to a higher speed, and they're selling me the $299 Dell model for $199. It should be a fun little gadget to have around.

Inspired by this very thread (and one other), I told Mrs. PAC we were going to Costco for FHE. We just returned, having bought a few things, but we passed on the telescopes despite the strong temptation to stick it to DDD. On the way home, we stopped by Trader Joe's and picked up some steel-cut oats. I'll be whipping up a batch in a few minutes that will take me through the end of the week. One of our finest FHE's in several months, and I owe it all to CUF.
