Wow if I want to be negative and believe the long range 10 day weather forcast for Oct 15th, the day I fly out from Burlington Vt to Raleigh, it's predicting 0 degrees celcius or 30 F and SNOW! I hope it doesn't delay my flight. Oh well I'll hope for the best, the weather forcast changes every hour.

I just got an email from the Aron Hall at the National Inclusion Project, detailing the auction items, timeline for the gala, etc. Wheeee! It's almost here!

Looks like the big items are dinner with Clay for 10, the BOTW shirt, and a jacket from the IT. Is that the My Buddy jacket? Lots of other goodies too. :)

Woo hoo for #1!

I believe this is a misprint and should show as two items:

 AJ-100 Guitar, mahogany with select spruce top with rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Signed by American Idol contestants: Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, and Fantasia

 Sport Coat From Independent Tour

If I had any money I'd be bidding on the sport coat. I bet it'll go high.

My company has left and I am tired!

On Sunday we went to a sports bar to watch the Browns make fools of themselves. I hate sports of any kind and I feel about sports bars like Clay does about regular bars! I enjoyed the snacks and by the fourth quarter I was getting really happy because it was soon going to be time to leave....or so I thought. They had the nerve to go into overtime. I had to put up with another quarter! If those 15 minute quarters only lasted 15 minutes it wouldn't be so bad.

What was really the pits is that no matter where I looked there were big screens of all the games being played. I couldn't escape. Must say though some of the ads were really good;)

If this were my team I'd be in the fetal position right about now :hugs-1:

I WAS!

OMG! OMG! OMG! :04:

At any point .... just sitting in the hallway and crying was an option.

And for all of this we get to go play the mighty Yankees in the NEWIMPROVED Yankee Stadium.

Tomorrow.

We have no bullpen.

We are starting a rookie.

I LOVE this team.

Oh laughn does your friend still need a ticket?

Thanks merrieeee, but It looks like my friend found one as well.

Just a suggestion, if someone has an extra ticket they can contact Aron Hall. That's how I found mine.

When I didn't have much success at the boards I called The Project and he said he knew of someone who had a ticket to sell and he sent them my contact info. They got in touch with me.

...and now I get to meet ldyj and canfly and others... :ura: :trink4:

October 5 has been called the most common birthday based on a survey done a few years ago. It is also nine months after New Year's Eve.
