 jim  The Day the Earth Stood Still
This movie is a real sleeper. Its the bomb...
I mean that literally. I liked the last 4 minutes, when the Earth loses all electricity, and it cuts to "The End". Keanna Reeves never got to use any of his talents.
I suppose, maybe, why I didn't like it was because it cost $13 a ticket, a small bottle of Coke cost $4.25, the chairs were uncomfortable, and the screen looked smaller than the one in our bedroom.

 SAE  Bark and Howl....
SAE turns 385 years of age on Sunday, the 14th.. So, he'll be a drunken fool.Maybe he can IM with Jimmy R. Cutlar on Saturday, this weekend.

Got an email from Pat Hill this week. He didn't say much, but knew I was at RJ and had my email. Unhappy with the fact he knew this, so I will sniff down the informant, and bite off his weiner.(And of course, spit it out)

 jim  Its 14 degrees in Pittsburgh
It snowed powder all weekend long.
We watched about 50 cars stop on the road below our apartment. They seemed to be stuck in the street.
They may have been playing it safe while waiting for a salt truck. These roads were soooo slick,
Several of the people left their cars and walked up to their apartments, waiting for help to arrive.
That seemed odd to me. You never see something like that in California 
I took the truck out to do some sliding!
I thought it was fun, but then again, I wasn't worried about losing control.
Ya just gotta love 4 wheel drive with anti-lock breaks in weather like this.
Pix-2-come. I left my camera in the truck.

 jim  Happy Thanksgiving!
Whether with you, or as we roam; the gypsies leave you, to make new homes. 
We know your voice, we know your face; we know your town, we've seen your place.
We leave our marks each place we go; on starlit beaches, in melting snow.
We never stay too long. Our homes are shelved. Each place we leave, we leave ourselves.
And Holidays are odd at best. We dine with strangers. We laugh and jest.
The cold world of contracting, that's where we are. Whats in between, lies in the stars.

To all of the people we know and love in Las Vegas, Orlando, Seattle, Louisville, Toledo, San Diego, and Pittsburgh 
Happy Holidays!!! We love and miss you.

I want you to know, I didn't choose this way of life. It chose me.

Hi Jim And Becky
Thank you for the card Happy Holidays to both of you from the Friedrichs Family!
Miss you guys.
We should make plans to meet in Columbus Ohio in January for February just for the weekend or something.
I'm sure there is stuff to do in Columbus.
I looks to be about 3 hours for each of us

 jim  Monday was a bad day
Monday was a bad day
- I woke up late
- I was late for a meeting that I'd organized
- I forgot to submit my timesheet
- I got a hateful email from a potential friend
Maybe it wasn't such a bad day.
- I got to sleep in and had wonderful dreams.
- I don't like meetings. Being forgetful is bliss.
- A friend forgot his timesheet too 
- I only lost a potential friend
I guess anything can be positive
