Sorry @Cybirdy ....

Go Albia. (They and Roland-Story play each other tomorrow in the semis...even if the R-S coach is an Ottumwa alum)

No real connection other than they were our conference champs. We played them on their senior night—6 seniors, 4 going on to play sports in college (3 in softball, 1 in basketball). Our senior night had been rained out so they also announced our senior at their game. Very nice gesture.

Practice interview done. Went pretty well, and I started to get used to talking through the screen.
Now to tighten a couple foreseeable things and drive on the victory!

Will be anxiously waiting to hear how it goes!

I got some great tips to refine things. Just about prepped for "domination."
I'll walk out knowing it went very well, so my part will be strong.

I looked at the trail info for the mountain some more this afternoon and it looks like it's only an extra hour and a half hike to another 14er peak, Mt. Oxford. It will be very tempting to continue on to that one and knock out 2 peaks in 1 trip. Also I was wrong in my last post; this will be my 4th peak, not 3rd. We'll see how my legs/lungs feel after the first peak but making it an even 5 that I have summited will be awfully tempting.

"5" is NOT an even number.

Hey @GTO I just used your favorite former client in a paper about monopolies creating dead weight on society.

I am very jealous. I fully plan on doing some of the easier 14ers in the future. My hope is to get some friends to do them with me.

So does this mean you'll just buzz the peaks and wiggle your wings at whoever is on top of them at that time? You should be able to get several in a day.

Well, it looks like we won't be going to Ohio via Oshkosh after all.

So instead, we will return via Niagara Falls, Canada, and Detroit.

Maybe reading maps isn't our strong suit?

You, or me?

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

Just heard driving home, still like after 50 years.

 

[RunninMan]

You, or me?

Me because I apparently can't count in my dreams, either. I dreamt that someone asked me what the tattoo on my chest meant (I don't have any tattoos in real life) and for some reason I responded, "it's the three crosses, duh!" I looked down and there were four...

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I hit $6 trillion so I decided to shut it down and just retire in my paperclip kingdom

 

[FOREVERTRUE]

Well, do you? Inquiring minds want to know...

That is between my wife and me.

 

[jcyclonee]

Good luck today Erik. At least I think your interview is today. If not, good luck tomorrow, or the next day.

Have you ever seen Niagara Falls? And buy some Desperados for me.

 

[harimad]

See you there! I'll be going to that one with my dad

We will definitely have to meetup. If for no other reason than to embarrass my 15yo. I excel at that.

I'm hoping to meet a few RTTers actually. I've only met a couple of them so far.
