Sorry about that. I just realized the moniker Flash would be more appropriately applied to you.

You should have seen Y during and after the Super Bowl, he refused to let up on poor, innocent Janet.

I love the 4th. In addition to the obvious great things about it, it's also one of the few times every year that entire communities get together. Our city puts on a huge carnival, plus a parade, rodeo, and a couple of softball tournaments. It's a blast. My wife and two of the kids went to the parade tonight and me and the other two went and watched softball. It's what summer is all about.

The only thing I love more than 'Merica is Jesus (well, and my wife and kids, of course). So after Christmas, Independence Day is my second favorite holiday. I love the flag, the heat, the parades, the BBQ, Fireworks, Sousa, Greenwood, fetchin' everything. A real special treat for the family is when I play the SSB on the piano and belt out all four verses. The 3rd verse is especially rousing, the one that glories in kicking some limey ass.

We had a big project outsourced to Indian programmers and we fired their sorry, incompetent asses and ended up finishing it in house instead.

My husband's company did the same thing. They've scaled wayy back on outsourcing. They found it was costing more money to pay in-house people to clean up the software messes left by the outsourcers than it would just to pay the in-house guys to do the job properly to begin with.

Sorry for the cheapshot. I'm kind of pissed at him right now.
