Rave: Great holiday at exclusive little inn but good things always come to an end, do they not?

Rant: Hoping elections help the dust to settle in Iraq so that the boys, ours and yours, can return home.

Read that Jan 24, the first day back from holiday, is the most depressing day of the year. Were you depressed on the 24th?

No, because I had a computer again after being three weeks without. And that's a big rave.

Rant: It's 4:40 am and I am sitting in my office, could only get a ride back here after a night out with clients in NYC and not a ride all the way home...
Rave: Cab coming soon to take me to my warm bed...
Rant: Partner in my firm wanted me to spend the night with him in his hotel room in the city (I am married and so is he!!!)
Rave: all of the partners will not be in tomorrow (recuperating from tonight) so tomorrow (actually, today) will be an easy day!

Rant: 27 below in the Mad River Valley of VT this morning
Rave: 27 below in the Mad River Valley of VT this morning. The sun is brilliant, the sky is so blue it hurts to look at it, the visibility is unlimited, and it's a great day to be alive.

No Rants today, no raves today, I am neutralized ;-).

Rant: Oh it's cold!!!!!

Rave: That much closer to spring 8-)

Rant: Westin Detroit Airport hotel charges us $99 for the first night we are stuck due to NY weather cancellations -- and $199 the second night we are stuck. When asked why -- "because we can"! After accepting the deal (because we had to), but asking for the General Managers name for a follow-up, the Director of Guest Relations told the head of housekeeping that we would stay over but NOT TO SERVICE OUR ROOM!

Rave: When Connie at LaGuardia's Northwest World Club went out of her way to track down my forgotten eyeglasses from our inbound flight and return them to me as we departed two days later. If you go through the LGA World Club tell Connie "Hello and Thanks" again from me.

Why do we have dueling Freaky Friday Rants and Raves 1-28?

because miss boo-kay wants to be first.

Looks like anyone who wanted to be first had almost 3 hours to do it before Buk-It/Bu-kay jumped in. Since when does anyone have a monopoly on thread titles? Damn, it would be quite a slug-fest if one of the "Best Airport for NYC" or "Best way from airport to Manhattan" O.P.s try to claim those thread titles as their own !!

Rant: 15 below last night
Rave: sunny today and 15, but the sun makes it look warmer than it is.

RANT: just when we got rid of the San Jose pshyco, we got a "Jor-in-the-Bucket" competition. Aw, nice!

Rant: Just got back from Germany and the Euro ate me alive!!

Rave: I was just was in Germany and loved every minute of it!!!
John

Faina, We may have gotten rid of the San Jose psycho, but those of us in Oregon have a different sort of psycho to deal with.

Beachbum,

I agree...It's only taken me about 1 day of posting to figure out the "psycho" in the Oregon forums. Yikes!!!

Tracey

BeachBum, I feel you pain. We even discussed this at the San Francisco get-together, so don't feel alone on this.

Beachbum--I was thinking the exact same thing!!! lol!

Tracey--glad you figured it out...I would hate for you to get sucked into it BTW...how is Reser coming along? Go have some Woodstocks for me, ok?

Faina--That would be worth coming to I will be in the SF area during our kids spring break...is there a GTG then?
