I'm happy to report that my journey back to Hoboken was uneventful. I charted my course and stuck with it. I took the old favorite, The Penn. Turnpike. If I had a dollar, blah blah blah. I prefer 80 SO much better but with storms still looming, I played it safe and stuck to the south.

I loved having a radio to listen to and my ipod with the FM wireless transmitter was great! I drove for a full tank of gas without stopping. But I paid for it because I had to use the rest room the next 3 exits. I don't like the rest stops on the Pa turnpike. On 80, you get off in a town and do your business. You can give your business to the local Mom and Pop gas stations. On the pike, you're giving it all to the man and the never-ending construction projects. They did finally get EZ-Pass for all the exits. Oh well.

I got back to Hoboken around 3:30 and unloaded all my stuff, including a used 21-inch monitor my brother gave me. That's one heavy TV! I was sweating after that one. I just bought my brother the best Christmas gift I've gotten him in the last 10 years. I'm a good brother.

Work yesterday was the same. Always a little harder to get things started after a week off but we did OK. I usually carry in a backpack of papers and my umbrella and yesterday, I didn't bring it in. I'm not sure why but it felt great not having that think around my neck. I felt like I was floating. Does that make any sense?

What's cooler than being cool?
Ice Cold.
Outkast

I played the lottery last night. I'm hoping that I win. Excuse me for a second -- YAWN!!! -- OK, I'm back.

I think that's it.

Hoping to have more to say on Wednesday,

Bob
