Stark, I am glad things are going well. I can understand how she would be feeling upset and in a bad mood. Just know that my family and I will be having you guys in our thoughts! Keep fighting the good fight!

An interesting read on what happened in Atlanta:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/ ... 02839.html

Having had the misfortune of driving through Atlanta more times than I care to admit, I am not that shocked a few inches of snow there led to chaos. (Having driven in Boston, Chicago, L.A., and New York, I think I can state for a fact that Atlanta has the worst traffic in the country.) Four hours north in Charlotte - which is only recently approacing half Atlanta's size - we received slightly more snow but had absolutely no trouble with it at all. The response here was incredibly well-organized - a credit to our semi-consolidated city and county governments - and I hope Atlanta's troubles with the snow storm persuade our city and county leaders to continue their focus on far-reaching and reliable mass transit. (Our city government's mantra is basically, "Don't repeat Atlanta's mistakes." )

My daughter is in a blog about HLH. Good to see people getting aware about the disease. She's been doing really well and is at Day +12. She has a really bad attitude, but its easy to understand why, we're going on 2.5 weeks straight in the hospital and since she's feeling good, she's confused and annoyed that she's stuck there.

Energy to be cranky about being stuck there means things are going well.

Smile: Conversation w/wife relating to tomorrow's dinner plans
Me "Bean soup for dinner?"
Her: "It's Cuban Bean."
Me: "Ah Yes, Cuban Bean!"

Hmm in most of the worst traffic reports, Atlanta isnt typically in top 10. I see a lot of LA, DC, NYC, Boston, Houston, and Honolulu...

Seattle is terrible too. Everything bottlenecks over the bridges into the city. We also come to a standstill at the lightest snow fall.

I've driven through/by Atlanta a few times with a van full-o-crap headed to conventions in Baltimore and such. One time we were in the vicinity as rush hour hit. Creeping along on a 5 or 6 lane highway at 0-5 miles an hour for more than an hour is not good. I'm pretty sure there was no accident anywhere, just shitty traffic. We didn't make that mistake in timing again.

: Finally done with my 9 day, 130-hour work week. You know you've been working too long when you feel home at work, and going home feels like a visit.

: A group of 20 or so people went crazy in the dorm's dayroom a week or so ago, kicking holes in doors, breaking lightbulbs, spilling drinks, wrecking picnic tables, etc. As a result, 300 people aren't allowed to drink or go off base, and we're having room inspections. I hate group punishment.

Perplexed: My niece is going to a pre-school, only three days a week, and half days at that. So dumb math says around twelve hours of actual "education". Dumb math also says my Sister is paying nearly $200 per hour for this service.

There is one "educator" per ten 3-year old kids.

My fellow entrepreneurs, pre-school is a cash cow.
