Yeah, but it wasn't cheap. Probably because I'm not staying over a weekend. Good thing work pays for these trips. If I could just get them to pay for a flight to Reno in late august...

[reaching arm out of the NEB, holding coffee mug]

hey, can someone refill me??

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 9:49 am

ummm, nevermind with the coffee... can you just pour whiskey in this mug for me?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 9:53 am

nevermind.

[unburies herself from the neverending blanket, heads to bar, pours a mug full of whiskey, adds a couple drops of water to release the essence, pads back over to the blanket, sets down her drink, puts a couple more logs on the fire, and cozies back up under the NEB]

Cute dog. Funny, amid all the action in here I don't recall ever seeing a dog before.

Just a note. There is no guarentee that simply because San Jose and San Francisco are in California that there will actually be sunshine on any given week in February. Could be foggy, rainy dismal weather that will look lightweight to those of you from snow areas, but is still not the tropical vacation you're fantasizing about. Temps are likely in the 50s and low 60s, a big change from a Minneapolis windchill, but hardly bikini weather. Plus, the beaches are dangerous full of cold water and riptides. (wait, that doesn't track. Oh well.)
I love the bay area and there's great stuff to do here all year, but for all the guff we take about having no seasons, it isn't a sunny paradise.

Ya got that right. But it's going to be a break for me, one way or the other.

You'll be down here? Will there be a possibility of a GE sighting or is this a secretive mission?
