That doesn't make me feel better. The kids are flying Delta on Sunday morning and have a layover in Cincinatti.
Merry Christmas, catpuppy.
*Smooch*
Arafat invested in N.Y. bowling lane
By Deborah Kolben And Tracy Connor
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
NEW YORK - Maybe they should have named it Bowling for Palestine.
Bowlmor Lanes, a fixture in Greenwich Village for decades, was secretly bankrolled in part by the late Yasser Arafat, newly released documents reveal.
Using a holding company, Arafat quietly sank $1.3 million of Palestinian Authority funds into the hipster hangout in 2002, two years before his death. The news, first reported in Bloomberg Markets Magazine, hit some Bowlmor patrons like a 15-pound ball taking down the headpin.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come, but I promised the kids," said financier Steve Saslow, 55, with his 4-year-old and 8-year-old in tow.
It apparently also came as a surprise to Bowlmor's owners, a company called Strike Holdings, which has lanes on Long Island and in Maryland and Florida.
The firm said it was "shocked" to learn that Arafat was behind the investment -- and planned to return the money and sever any ties to the Palestinians.
The $1.3 million, funneled through a company called Onyx Funds, was just a small piece of a $799 million fortune that Arafat invested in companies across the Middle East and the United States.
Nully, you must have been REALLY bad this year.
Again: Merry Christmas to all. Have a great time wherever you are and whoever you're with!
Merry Christmas!
No.
Still no sound on my computer, and I haven't had time to figure it out. After Christmas is over, I'll see what I can do about it. It's not exactly an emergency.
Let's see; Yassar squirrels away 800 large, and just last week Bush sent the PA another 20 mil?
What is wrong with this picture?
Tyler cracks me up. He can really surprise me sometimes too. He was saying the other night that Christmas isn't about getting stuff, then, last night, after we got back from that awful experience and were saying the blessing, we decided that each of us would say what we were thankful for, and Tyler comes up with, "thank you for giving people money so they can give it to us." It was just one of those moments. It made us laugh though.
lol - it was der bingle belting out the tune.
Maybe Santa will come through will that killer sound card?
Merry Christmas out there, Cheri.
Nice.
I'm sitting here at work right now, cause I can't get the bug out of software I promised by year's end, looking at the 11,000 foot peaks covered by snow that are just to the East of Salt Lake City.
My BMW waits to take me back south 25 miles to Orem on Christmas Eve as soon as I decide what to do about this stupid problem.
I have to build a Terabyte viewer (1000 GB of data) for people who make IC designs, and it is ready go go but when it gets to 170 GB (the equivalent of 25 full length feature films) it hiccoughs. I'll be here tomorrow to check on it too.
(isn't it funny that hiccoughs is pronounced like it was spelled hiccups?)
If you want to see pics of me and my daughter skyler look down at the third pic. The lone highschooler just changed her moniker.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours.

I don't know if I even actually have a sound car. Sound might be onboard the motherboard, but I won't know until I bother to crack open the case and take a look. My nephew is going to help me build a brand spankin' new computer this spring, so my only concern is to keep this relic up and running until then. I think I'll back up some files today, just in case the thing is planning to head south before then. I've put a lot of music and photos on the hard drive, and don't want to lose them.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
We just left your peaks a few days ago, I'd never been skiing in Utah before, never been to Utah (cept passing through) before. Nice country....not sure about that salty lake thing of yours though......
A Merry Christmas back atcha.
