Reks, just come to Florida for pain meds. There are numerous pain clinics within a few miles of my home. All you need to do is walk/limp in. They'll even tell you what to say to guarantee you'll get whatever you want. It's a shame, but job security for me.

Happy birthday to you! Wishing you a good year ahead.

I'm still glad with my decision to order the Tri-star, since I'm not looking for a wheeled deal, but I was talking today with one of the traveling bigwigs from our PA office, and he mentioned this one. [url=http://www.zuca.com/zuca_pro/index.php]Z

Just bought the same, including $100 of accessories except mine is in black with Iberian interior. I checked out a bunch of reviews, and after seeing a few videos, giving me an idea of size, it seemed like the best option for me. Edit: just found a pic. The inside is this material:

Yup. That's what I was thinking. I have bigger bags if needed, but 90% of my traveling now is weekends only. I know me. If I have a larger bag, I'll just fill it with stuff i don't need just because I can.

So I killed my small carry-on bag this weekend, and now must get another. In my usual obsessive style, I spent much of the night looking at options, and I think I'm going to go the same way as Marc and get the Tristar. My previous bag was smaller, and I did just fine with it and a purse for most of my travels. I don't seem to need the space of the Skytrain or Aeronaut, which were the two I thought I'd like best. I guess I'll find out. I learned a long time ago that whatever size purse/bag I get, i'll fill it, so smaller is usually better. I'm going to buy it and maybe the Co-pilot for when I need a little extra.

Had a great Christmas with the family. Friday night, my brother invited a childhood enemy over, along with his wife and little daughter, for a little party. I hadn't seen him in at least 35 years, probably more. We spent the whole night laughing about the fights we used to have in elementary and middle school, and catching up. Christmas was spent with happy kids bouncing off the walls. My brother has been divorced for a few years now, and he and his ex have finally created a pleasant truce, so even she came and hung out for much of the day. I also hadn't seen her for years. My folks were happy and healthy, the kids are at that age where its a joy to get to know them, and I don't remember a holiday ever going this well with my nutso family. Only my twin brother and his wife were missing, but that might have been a good thing. Today was spent lounging around, playing wih the kids, and eating too much. I'm now at the airport, watching the Giants get killed, and drinking a latte. Life is good. Stay safe and warm, snow people.

Watching the Cowboys get killed. Horrible first half.

Yup. Hope you got some good cookies.

I'm not particularly into watches, but my dad got this cool one for Christmas. It looks better in person than in this iphone pic. It's from 1954 and the coaches were given these as gifts. My dad's basically impossible to buy for, but he's been both a MSU and Omega fan for decades, so he's pretty thrilled.

Happiest of birthdays to you both!

Happy birthday, Ken!!!

I'm sitting on a plane waiting to go to Dallas for the weekend. Happy holiday everyone! Stay safe and happy!

Yes, thanks!

Can you post pics? I was looking at the aeronaut and packing cubes, but I can't get a good idea of size of things from the website.

marc, check out the sky train if you want straps. I like the air boss, but don't need any luggage right now. Red Oxx Hybrid Convertible Backpack Carry On Bag for Planes and Trains!

Cupcakes look great!

Yes, they are, and they trounced the Wings last outing. Babcock's a smarty, and I bet the only reason he's starting Osgood tonight is to hope for some 400th-win excitement at the Joe. Wings are in a tiny slump, so a win tonight is needed. Looking for a good game either way.

There are some good match-ups tonight. I'm looking forward to the Wings game tonight against the Stars. Looks like Osgood is going to start, and is going for his 400th career win.

Stay off both feet as much as possible today. I sadly know what I'm talking about.

Happy birthday!

Got back from a memorial service and food-fest after-service gathering for my friend's husband, and collected her work phone and keys to turn in on Monday. Sadness all around, but it was a nice service. Went through a bunch of papers when I got home and noticed that I got a nice raise on my paycheck that no one told me about, though my anniversary is in a few days. Felt guilty for feeling happy, and now I'm tired and think I'll take a little nap.

Happy birthday!!!
