Theo and Brettski--good ones as usual. I'm working on my wit and quick retorts, but I just can't compete with the two of you. Ewest--No secret handshake yet. But I imagine it going a little something like this--except without the beer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PllsgkPQD_ITom--To be honest with you, I first thought the people at school were a bunch of alcoholics or something. They kept talking about "the bar" like they were obsessed with it. Dave--I'll be very nice to the consulting geologists. Attorneys need all the friends we can get to cancel out all the enemies we make! Sunil--The jury is still out on that one, but I do appreciate your kind words.

Speaking of poop I learned something new the other day. How many of you knew the scientific name for a Robin is Turdus migratorious?So flattering isn't it to be called a migrating turd? TJ was that close enough to the boundary for ya? Yes, it was close...and kept in line with our p00p theme, which is probably worn through it's treads by now.

Congratulations Al. This ought to be the finale on kicking his butt out of the nest.

Congrats Randy.
Just thinking back to when I first started communicating with Big Al. He told me about a Son that he was pretty proud of. He told me "You'd like him." He was right.

Dave,
Have you been fingerprinted yet? I dated a Harvard Law grad and she had to go to the nearest police station to be fingerprinted after she graduated.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

LOL, Theo. Oh and what the heck were you doing up at two in the morning?
Cecil, the law grad probably had to be fingerprinted for the bar exam (if it has the same policy as the CPA exam). Back when I took the CPA exam (in the 80s) prior to sitting for the CPA exam a candidate had to be fingerprinted and submit a photo. On the day of the exam you were finger printed again.

I believe Theo's reasoning is to beat the kids to the shower.
Yea, I'm pretty sure getting up at 3:21 AM woulda worked when mine were growing up.

FYI, we got up at 3:30 today to put our daughter on the bus for the 8th grade field trip to Washington D.C.
I only fell asleep three times while typing that sentence.

Dave,
Have you been fingerprinted yet? I dated a Harvard Law grad and she had to go to the nearest police station to be fingerprinted after she graduated. Yep...I've been fingerprinted already. Luckily this was the first time, and they didn't have mine on file already. Randy, Congrats to your son! Emory is a great school--you should be proud. Greg, I just got back from culling more LMB at my mom's place. The good news is they're all different lengths (instead of the same stunted size). The bad news is that they're still very skinny. Oh, and TJ--I should plaster a sign on my forehead that says "Will Work for CSBG."

So they DO know all Harvard Law grads are criminals!!!! The only bad thing I know she did was to get mixed up with me. BTW she probably knows are current president and firstlady as she was at Harvard law school at the same time. No contact anymore though. Moved on to bigger and better things.
