Well, I'm back from the Symposum in Las Vegas. On this short trip, I learned the following:
* Hotel rooms on the Strip are just so ridiculously priced. Thank you, my employer, for picking up the tab.
* Socialising among a group of people who work in healthcare finance (all but 2 of whom I don't know) is not something I do easily. Or, in...

Stolen from Leola. What can I say...a good idea is a good idea. 
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Visited Mexico.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't know if actually made any resolutions that I recall. Which is good since I didn't keep any.

please tell me you watched the rose bowl tonight....vince young is amazing.
For the second or third time this year, I had to call in sick (legitimately) after a long weekend. I know that this probably looks very bad for me, but, fortunately, I have a great boss who won't get all bent out of shape due to my absence. The lingering headache might be from dehydration, but, clearly, it's damned better than what I had last...

Happy New Year! You are so right - people who feel superior cause they don't watch TV must have a small pool of achievments to choose from.
For all the sarcasm and joking negativity that I put forth over the course of any year, I do enjoy using Christmas, despite my agnosticism, as a day on which I acknowledge those whom I know who add to my life.

I thought it could be a surprise

A few days in The Most Ridiculous City Ever on the company dime: I'm very, very fortunate, indeed.

2005 is fast winding down and it's time to take stock of my life. Ah, to hell with that...I'll just keeping following the current path for a while longer. I don't think that I'll be looking for a new job or new home city in 2006, but, of course, those ideas are always subject to change.

You would be correct!
wheatgrass juice...bleh, a friend of mine once had me try it.
I felt like i had just eaten the neighbors lawn on my hands and knees.
No alcohol for her huh?
Admirable, but very rare inside the world of cabaret
Hedonism is the rage inside those clubs....
Have a good night Mike
