A Long, Long Day
Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools and returned home. I have a bunch of conferences calls this afternoon that go late into the night, so I'm working from home. No Step class for me tonight.
Want a unique way to get into the holiday spirit? Try this version of "Sugar Plum Fairy" with glasses of water.
Tab/ribbon/bar overload! (see example at right) Where my article at?!? There's got to be content somewhere on the screen right?
A big thank you to Pat Padley for just the smile I needed this morning!
Pretty sure CNET would classify this as a "1%'er gadget": The Mute Watch at $259 US.
Of course the Nixie Watch one ups that at $395 US. (And loved the Slashdot snark comment...)

Took Michelle out for an early lunch (11:15'ish) at Cafe on the Oval. Had we been there about 45 minutes earlier, candidate Ron Paul had stopped in. Unfortunately it was during the lull between the breakfast and lunch crowds so Dr. Paul made only a quick stop as the restaurant was nearly empty.

Finished up my fourth and last conference call around 9:15pm. Feeling bad that I barely saw the kids tonight, nor was able to help Claire with her Algebra. Tomorrow will be another kid-less night, as I'll be staying late to have a holiday dinner with my office teammates.
