People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

I tend to hoard my vacation time/personal days until the end of the year. We're allowed to accrue comp time so I end to use that for vacations earlier in the year. This year I'll be carrying over 10 vacation days plus getting paid out for 102 hrs of Comp Time. Yay!

I remember when I first started dating my wife, she would record on VHS each day's episode of Guiding Light. That meant I watched it with her and I found myself getting dragged into the world of Guiding Light. I miss those days, when the biggest worry in the world was wondering if there was enough room on the VHS to record the next episode.
