I got into the habit of getting up early years ago so I could get into work before everyone else. I found I could get a lot more work done without anyone around and the phones not ringing. The habit just stuck.
Thanks, FM – not too bad, except the missing luggage.
Did not sleep one minute on the trip, so evening can’t come early enough (thankfully, it is 6 hrs ahead of you guys).
Losing that night going east is tough. Once supper is served and the clean-up done, it’s only about an hour of darness before they start the breakfast.
The asklets are already enjoying the company of 3 cousins – more of that to come over the next few days.Is the heat still on? Quite warm here in Oslo, low 80s at the moment – it hardly ever reaches 90 at this latitude (similar to Anchorage).
Ouch!!
swimmer and I are busy showing my b-i-l diaries here and at kos. Sirocco’s brief entry is incredibly effective. And we saw at kos that Lamont now leads Liebermann 51-47 in a Quinnipiac poll, how about that!
jDon’t worry, FM, we knew that. Just like when I press the shift key with my right pinkie I always get the little ‘j’ too. You know it doesn’t belong there but I’m too lazy to go back.
We’ve gone from 240,000 people without power to 80,000 without power this morning. The power company is still telling people not to generally expect anything before the weekend.
Hey there boran! Ya snuck in after me there so quietly. Hope all is well out your way today and the heat’s sparing your end of the country a bit more than ours. High of 90 here sounds almost chilly after the past several days!
A bit cooler out here today and only supposed to hit 90 today after 100 yesterday. I’m in early at work for another mind-numbing day of compiling data into excel. Acckkk. Fortunately just another couple of days of this….
CG, I hope you get your power back on soon! Saw last night that you were w/out due to that fallen tree. You must have one great computer if it works when there’s no power (assuming it’s a laptop well charged?)
Happy Thursday to everyone and I hope to be able to pop in and say hey later sometime or maybe tonight. Stay cool!
Well, great to know you’re safe and sound and able to carry on somewhat normally. Sure hope Cheney is nowhere near your undisclosed location! Eeek, the very thought of that just turned my stomach. Sorry! Seeya soon CG, FM, b2, Andi, Psi and all…
Good morning Andi.
I forgot I had a doctors appointment at 10:30 this morning, so if the cafe gets going I’ll be out for about 1 1/2 hours.
Not a problem — I can check in periodically and besides the day time cafes have been pretty slow.
Thanks. Got any big plans today other than work?
Nope, no plans — just go for a walk as soon as the sun is up and work.
Are you relative-free for awhile?
At the moment relative-free, but it might change today. With this group I never know. They were supposed to have been here Monday.
Dog walking and work. Excitement plus. 🙂
Hello…getting down to reading a bunch of earnings reports now. How are y’all doing?
Morning Psi.
Good morning to you as well. 🙂
I don’t think I ever asked – is there some reason you are always up this early? Aside from being old, of course. 😛
Nope old is pretty much it. 🙂
I got into the habit of getting up early years ago so I could get into work before everyone else. I found I could get a lot more work done without anyone around and the phones not ringing. The habit just stuck.
reading earning reports first before sunrise — it’s nice to know someone’s life is even less exciting than mine.
Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence there. 😛
You and Andi are just kids in the park. When the excitement of your day was just going to the grocery store, that’s when we’re talking boring. 🙂
Gee, PF what a good idea to get that reading out of the way early so you’ll have time for paryting later.
Better?
You old people and your biting snark…it’s only Thursday, no partying for me tonight! 🙁
Well my three biting snarks are telling me they want to go for a walk in the woods before the heat hits sweltering.
Have an excellent day — or if that’s not likely, have a quick one instead.
Good morning Andi, Psi and FM.
From sunny Oslo. Arrived a couple of hours ago with the asklets – two suitcases missing 🙁
I need my shorts!
Hi ask. Hope your flight was uneventful and the jet lag isn’t too bad.
Thanks, FM – not too bad, except the missing luggage.
Did not sleep one minute on the trip, so evening can’t come early enough (thankfully, it is 6 hrs ahead of you guys).
I always had really bad jet lag going back to Europe and never could sleep on a plane.
Hope you and the asklets have a good time.

Great to hear the asklets are having a good time.
Down here it’s supposed to go over 100 F again today. Thank goodness for AC. I’m ready for winter, even if we don’t get snow.
Ouch!!
swimmer and I are busy showing my b-i-l diaries here and at kos. Sirocco’s brief entry is incredibly effective. And we saw at kos that Lamont now leads Liebermann 51-47 in a Quinnipiac poll, how about that!
Yes Sirocco’s entry is effective.
51-47 – I just waiting to see what will happen.
Should have been I am just waiting.
I hate not being able to make corrections. 🙂
jDon’t worry, FM, we knew that. Just like when I press the shift key with my right pinkie I always get the little ‘j’ too. You know it doesn’t belong there but I’m too lazy to go back.
jMorning SN. 🙂
Do you have a big day planned today?
Those Lamont-Lieberman poll results look like they should go in the News Bucket… 🙂
How is everyone this morning? We are still without power…
Doing fine CG, hope you’re fine too.
Do you have any estimate when you’ll get power back?
Hopefully tonight.
We lost it for 2-3 hours the night of the big storm. Par for the course in the land of the big old trees.
We’ve gone from 240,000 people without power to 80,000 without power this morning. The power company is still telling people not to generally expect anything before the weekend.
Alright, then. Done 🙂
And now it’s time to get off the PC and go out barefoot in the grass…
Good morning, froggies!
Morning Boran.
It will be 100 by you today?! Yikes!
Hey there boran! Ya snuck in after me there so quietly. Hope all is well out your way today and the heat’s sparing your end of the country a bit more than ours. High of 90 here sounds almost chilly after the past several days!
Well, gotta get busy here… have a good one!
Back now. Thanks and hope things are good by you. 80s here today, better than what we’ve had lately.
Yeah I decided running 10 miles today is out of the question. 🙂
How’re ya doing today?
Okay. So do only 8. 😉
A bit cooler out here today and only supposed to hit 90 today after 100 yesterday. I’m in early at work for another mind-numbing day of compiling data into excel. Acckkk. Fortunately just another couple of days of this….
CG, I hope you get your power back on soon! Saw last night that you were w/out due to that fallen tree. You must have one great computer if it works when there’s no power (assuming it’s a laptop well charged?)
Happy Thursday to everyone and I hope to be able to pop in and say hey later sometime or maybe tonight. Stay cool!
They say my power will be back on around 8 PM today. Apparently we had hurricane-force winds with the storm tuesday night.
I’m blogging from an undisclosed location with power today. 🙂
Well, great to know you’re safe and sound and able to carry on somewhat normally. Sure hope Cheney is nowhere near your undisclosed location! Eeek, the very thought of that just turned my stomach. Sorry! Seeya soon CG, FM, b2, Andi, Psi and all…
Morning IVG. Hope your day isn’t too mind numbing today.
Stay warm in that office.
I’ve got to get the day started.
Everyone have a good day in the pond.
Froggy Bottom Waterpark Day here
