[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]

Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

WorldCom announced they will decide within the next three weeks whether they have to file for bankruptcy protection. Analysts seem to think it is a foregone conclusion. It would be the largest such filing in US history, doubling the size of the Enron folding.

An Al Qa'eda audio tape has a spokesperson assuring the world The Evil One and Mullah Omar are alive and well.

A group of parents in Oakland, CA, are suing the school district for violation of the Establishment Clause. No, this time it is not Christianity that is at question. The action focuses on what has popped up in the news of late about certain practices in public schools in Kantafordia. According to The Washington Times, the parents filed suit because the schools, after September 11, "encouraged students to wear Muslim robes, adopt Islamic names, and stage make-believe pilgrimages to Mecca to learn about the faith."

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

26 years of wedded bliss (or something like that.;^)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Looks like you were a BiCentennial Bride, just like I was!

(Mr. Ohio wore a baby blue tux........we were stylin'! Ah, those glorious '70's!)

[kayak]

Hey, aren't you the guy who is always claiming to be a gentleman and therefore not asking the ... er . um ... ungentlemanly questions?

[McLynnan]

Some things you should keep to yourself, you know? This was much, much worse than the shirt, lol.

[ohioWfan]

Um...........don't they develop mastitis if they're NOT milked?????

Yes, I believe they do.............and I'm sure it hurts a whole lot before they get it, too!

[MozartLover]

Yep. We got married 6 days after the big bash (4th of July). We were penniless. Everything was borrowed or free. But it worked. And it lasted.:)

[MozartLover]

Well, we're off for our big evening. Bye to all you sweeties.:)

Sumbarine races???

[kachina]

Submarine races, I'll betcha. ;>)

Could be. Of course in Wisconsin it would be a little number from Victoria's Secret under her parka along with one of those Oh, so sexy cheese hats. And of course, some romantic lighting to set the mood.....say a Coleman lantern turned down real low.

WOW! Right out of a Cary Grant movie.

One reason I like to go on business trips is because we try to get in a "name" restaurant at least once every trip. When I was at Comdex in Vegas last year, we had a power dinner at Delmonico's (Emeril's steakhouse at the Venetian hotel.) Oh my, we though we'd all died and gone to heaven. I've also been to Emeril's Fish House restaurant at the MGM Grand in Vegas, my sister and I had the tasting menu. Yum, yum, yum. We also stopped in Vegas for dinner on a trip a couple of years ago, and ate at Border Grill, the Too Hot Tamales restaurant. Very good food. The Tres Leches cake was one of the most decadent things I have ever eaten in my life. And lastly, on my next trip to NYC, I want to eat at one of Mario Batali's restaurants. His food intrigues me...Now I'm really hungry, I have to eat dinner here, and I think we're getting sandwiches. :(

Well, we were rich! He made $13,000/yr and I made $10,000! Ah, the good old days!

Do you realize what a minority of the population we're in, to have marriages that worked and lasted? What a blessing!

[kachina]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MOZIE!!!!!!!

[JRandomFreeper]

I told my company that I would not travel anymore about 8 years ago. I've missed out on some of the really good restaurants that have popped up since then. (and that is the only darn thing I missed)

Now that I have an employer that can send me to jail for saying "no", I may get the opportunity to try some of them.

#200...That's a pretty impressive patch, Mister :)
Good going!!!

[Guenevere]

Happy Anniversary you two lovebugs :)

[Molly Pitcher]

Guenevere and lysander - "Intent" is an important consideration in the Law....Its significance relates to degree of culpability, sentencing and so forth.

I find it hard to understand sometimes, too, but my husband always sets me straight:-)

john - What a fine patch that is!! Many, many congratulations and thanks for your dedication!

[Molly Pitcher]

[JRandomFreeper]

Thanks Guennie. It replaces the Tactical Air Command patch I used to wear, so many years ago.

I am spending the next couple of days trying to make sure I get everything packed that I will need, personally, as well as professionally. I have no idea where my cds are.

With all that's been going on I haven't had a chance to tell all that I intended about our trip to FL. Our last night there, after the conference was over, we went to a Ruth's Chris Steak House ......

...... I'm not sure I've completely recovered from that meal yet ...... WOW!

Everything on the menu is a la carte ..... but everything comes in portions generous enough to share.

We started off with an appetizer of barbecued shrimp served on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes ...... delicious!

Then we shared a salad which was very good ..... and was huge, even divided between us.

I got a filet which was cooked to perfection ..... hubby got the "Cowboy Special" .... a 22 ounce rib eye ..... i.e., half a cow! .... it was humongous! Both steaks were fantastic .... fork tender and very flavorful.

As a side, we got au gratin potatoes, which were really more like a cross between scalloped potatoes and au gratin ..... and they were scrumptious .....

..... Then to top off the meal (even though we hadn't cleaned our plates) we really splurged and shared a piece of the most heavenly Key lime pie you have ever tasted .... it was totally delectable and the perfect ending to a truly sumptious feast.

All the food was cooked to perfection, the service was impeccable ..... and the tab was mucho grande but worth it!

I think it would be fatal to eat there often but it was one fantastic meal!

[Molly Pitcher]

That dr. who got away with no punishment - that's awful! I remember you writing about that.

But the law recognizes differences between premeditation and carelessness or negligence.
