Cool!  Mine isn't aware of stop signs, just traffic lights.  Maybe I need to
play with it more?

Ah yes!  Me, when I look at their menu, I get greedy ;-)

Charlotte and Don have never been there but I have for work related lunches
and such.  Warning, their appetizers tend to be pretty substantial.  I also
pre-ordered the full rack of pork for us all to share and thought appetizer
time suits for that?  We add other things as desired individually but that
one is on me.

Cool!  I can either setup a different restraunt, or I go shopping that
morning and see if the blue crabs are plentiful and we have a crab fest here?
 I have to check that morning though so can't tell in advance if that plan
works.  

Last time at Janis's place, I skipped the first night because I'd done a 10
hour marathon drive and just wanted to settle and go to bed early.  Ended up
oversleeping anyways! (grin).

On the work front, they have been keeping me really Hopping.  Fortunately not
only my local bosses at CNIC are exceptionally happy with me (They've gone
through 4 of FLTMPS data analysts before me and none as they say come up to
even 50% of what I've done) but my company back in Pensacola agrees I am one
of the best they've ever had in an outlaying area.  See, the ones all
together in one office area can 'trade knowledge' easily, just over hearing
things and such.  Me, I have to either figure it out, or figure out which of
them to call.  Hehehe, the guys there are now stealing *my* SQL codes!  Got a
call from one of the better ones a bit ago who was working a report for one of
 the other agencies that was related to what i have to often do.  Grin, wrote
it for him quietly while on the phone.  Pondering a suggestion of an added
table field or an added table off an existing one for CO/XO email addresses. 
Maybe traino's as well.  Humm.  Anyways, all this is why I havent been in as
much as normal.  Like, Tuesday I'll be at work and training Diego Garcia (new
training officer there already) from 9pm-1am Norfolk time.  Contacted Japan
to see if they want to spiff any training between 6-9pm Norfolk time.  Both
of those hours start at their time at 7am.  (Note to self, add Korea to that
email if Japan doesnt take up all the slots).
