[A Friend of Charlie]

Morning, muchachos.

Good morning, Bret. How was the weekend?

It started out weird, but ended okay.  My boss put me into a potential ethical quandary on Thursday afternoon, and while I was mulling that, a SQL Server upgrade went haywire during after-hours maintenance, so I ended up working most of the night to recover.  At 3AM I had three drinks and blew off work on Friday.  Saturday we made a pasta dish with ground turkey, leeks, and shallots that turned out kinda bland.  Then we spent the evening putting wings together for game day - two pounds of traditional Buffalo style and two pounds of Honey Barbecue wings.  Those went over well on Sunday, the Seahawks pasted the Saints, and the Mariners swept the Astros.  The boss and I worked out the ethical quandary this morning, so I guess all's well.

Thst sounds like a pretty successful weekend. Especially the part about the wings.

Looking through the new CI catalog, and I think I found as ashtray worse than a wooden Bueso. This seems overly complicated when trying to ash. Like Luke Skywalker trying to hit a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port.

And lord knows we ain't got the Force.

Looks like I was the odd ball out today.

Not that that's much different than any other day, I suppose.

I feel like I should have known Catherine Oxenberg - I knew the name - but there's nothing she's done that I'd have seen. 

I should have known Tom Felton.  But the name didn't register.

I looked him up and should have known Felton.

They lost. 6-16. Soon played QB in offense, CB on defense, plus he was on special teams and punt return team. He did well. The o-line is pretty bad.
