run out of restaurant, probably blinding drunk by that time, with my candle held high.

Everyone did get those emails about lighting a candle at 10:30 eastern, didn't they or maybe there were earlier posts?

Got to do something outrageous to get out of our national funk.

Bush said to return to normal - so what is wrong with spending money for the economy, get drunk, light candles to remember and raise a little hell?!?!

Some of you may not think that is appropriate - But I am from Texas - and that is one of our ways of getting focused and going forward

Default Speaking of which, our friends from Austin are in tonight...

and that's exactly what we plan on doing, too!

Let's move on, but never forget.

Default Agree, on the way home I blew off the idea of the race walk, stopped and

bought a fine chardonnay, going to drink it, light at candle at 10:30 for the satellite photo and then crash....walk in the a.m.

Default See, now my friend bailed out on me, something to do with lost contract and economy

leading to late night meetings -

let's see, I have a bottle of 1997 Arrowood Michel Berthoud Chardonnary and another of this 1997 Chateau Gloria Bordeaux -

I hate to eat and drink alone! But for the good of the economy, I will do my duty!!

Default Am thinking when 10:30 ET hits all times zones...7:30 for you...thinks that's what I remember

reading..one click. Won't be very dark out your way at that time, will it? I'll check nexis and see if I can find an article on it.
