Happy Blissful Birthday!! May it not be blue....

Very Happy Birthday!!

Agreed with all the above. My ex-colleague had it worse, and she recovered basically 100%, you really don't know it if you met her. And it certainly IS great to have good knowledgable people here, anmd also that they care so much! It's part of what makes this place great!

Vicki, sorry to hear about your loss and troubles, but glad the family could get together as it could for the holiday. Wish you the best for you and your mom. Having lost family around holidays (Stepfather on Mother's Day, Grandfather right around Christmas), it seems to makes things that much more potent in our memories....I always try hard to remember the life, and not focus so much on the death.....balance.....

Wayne, those pics are FANTASTIC!! You must be exhausted, but such a great thing to do and a great time for all involved I'm sure. Truly, Merry Christmas....

Happy Birthday Guillaume! J'espère que vous avez un grand jour!

Merry Christmas! May it be filled with joy and peace.

Happy Birthday!

Very nice looking tree! Made it through the first Hanukkah party last night at my mother's....minimal food ingestion (even though all was delicious) thanks to a larger lunch and lack of hunger, and the whole family made it. Really nice time! Tonight, night 2 of family parties; my dad and stepmom are amazing cooks, so will likely not be able to resist temptation 2 nights in a row, and stuff myself.....

Happy Bird-day....or am I just parroting too?

I liked it, very clever! I got to hear the Scintilla's once, what beasts they were..... It was at a store that pushed Macintosh equipment, but I don't remember if that was what was driving them. I did get to hear the Duetta's several times, definitely with Mac gear, and they were real nice..... I almost bit on the smaller Stage speakers, but didn't have the room for them. Those Apogee ribbons sounded so nice, though.....

Finally getting over my cold, went to work today and my VP calls me in. He presented me with a letter from the CFO and CAO/Legal Council, thanking me for participation in a recent high visibility project, and presenting me with a nice little bonus! Now, what gear to buy....?! What, dear.....oh.....yes.....of course I can put some more towards the Bar-Mitzvah

So well stated Al. Sad that it happened around the holidays as well.

Yeah, pretty cool stuff. At first glance, it was tough to get an idea on proportions of the setup, but then you see the people in front, and you realize what went into it.... And great tree, too, Al, same with the others here. As "the Jew that likes the trees" I'm enjoying this. After telling my wife about this, she decided to give the Hanukkah bush another try. It's literally a few decorative branches in a large glass floor-standing vase, adorned with blue and silver ornament balls. And so far, the cats have left it alone....

Me too, son will like these a lot I'm sure

Happy Birthday!!

Awake at 3:30 EST after maybe 1 hour sleep.....friggin' head cold...... At least two meetings were cancelled today, so I'll work from home, rest occasionally.....and dream of pirate booty

That would definitely make my vote Zoltan! I wonder if that movie was in Kim Jong Il's archive.....

Good luck, Mike. A woman with whom I used to work had it, it was caught a little later but she is symptom free now. DOES have some very minor sagging around her mouth, but doesn't impact quality of life in any way at all. Hope it works out 100% for you.....

Sounds like the missle launches were something planned for a while, but I'm sure it's also a signal that North Korea is trying to send that it still is in powerful control.... I just hope it doesn't get too much in turmoil, not good when there's nukes potentially involved.

Oy vey, vot is vit all de vishes? Ah, vell, vot de heck....Happy Birthday

Crap, sorry to hear this Chris, my thoughts are with you and family....

Happy Birthday!

If no loose wires, I think it could be just a nasty static electricity shock?? The fleece note made me thing of that....

This was kind of cool....reminds me of Madness meets Kraftwerk......
