... Houston traffic. My new job will be about a 45 min commute taking the toll road. I drive about 20 now. Worth it for the change... I'll catch up on my podcast backlog lol

:? Think I "threw my back out." Probably from repeatedly lifting my daughter and carrying her around all day. I'm in a lot of pain.

:x My parents are stopping by tomorrow "for lunch and dinner." They invited themselves.

I was lucky to jump on another project in the same location. Where is your new office at?

Gotcha. Thatll be nice. I think I had yours & Hobbie's area of employment mixed up. IIRC, he works over by my house.

I'll be commuting in to near 610 & 290. Luckily most of the drive is 249 & SH Tollway. The drive can be 30 minutes or an hour depending on traffic lol. Luckily I'm an early bird so I'll beat the rat race in the morning.

I posted "LeBronning" aka feigning an injury like a puss on my FB page and my longtime buddy in the UK commented "I don't know who LeBron is, but that is hilarious".

It's nice to know I live in a world where people don't give a crap about the NBA.

Bought a game on ebay, and the seller included a second game as a freebie.

Never had that happen before. Awesome. :mrgreen:

Ouch, man, sorry to hear this. Back pain ain't no fun at all and can be quite debilitating.

It's part of my daughter's plan to take over the house. She already stole my Pac-Man ghost plushie.

She doesn't need to plan. In my experience, children take over the house by sheer force of will alone.

Pretty much.

Oh and she just shredded a bunch of medical journals that my wife had left lying on the floor. Hopefully they weren't important. :lol:
