Real snow. Not the wimpy stuff. It looks great outside. Hopefully, it'll
scare the customers away, too.

The lunch shopping crowd at Meijer mgiht have been a tad smaller, Steve.
Snow! About 5 inches on my lawn already. I parked my car at the bottom of
the driveway so I don't have to dig so far tomorrow.

Steve - the overall standings. I know SLU isn't a league opponent, but
come March, every win counts.
IHB the move is complete, and I've got most of my stuff organized in my
new room.

Icing can be too thick. You don't cook, do you? It is a royal icing, so it
should somewhat pour from the spoon. Thus, my icing is too thick.

My project of scanning in old family slides is nearing completion, and I now
have an image tool which makes batch conversions (shrinking huge .bmp files
down to nice friendly .jpgs in a lower resolution) quite easy.

Wonderful evening last night with four of my best friends from undergrad.
Good alcohol, truffles, Trivial Pursuit GEnus IV (which I actually came
close to winning)...*and* the Lumberjack episode of Flying Circus in German.
"Ich biiiin ein Holzfaeller und fuehlt mich stark..."
I leave for Florida one Wednesday!

Re #780, 781:
Proper icing can't easily be too thick. However, in later years I've
encountered "icing" on cakes that somehow left something to be desired. It
tastes rather - flat.

Okay, get out your cook books and start realizing that there are MANY types
of icing. ROYAL ICING is a rather thing consistancy which is typically put
on COOKIES. Icings and frostings vary a lot depending on the recipe.
IHB I got to speak to large amount of my family tonight, amazing since I
thought I was only going to be talking with my mother (complaining about the
snow).

After a moderately grueling 7 hour dive into Linux administration, I not only
managed to get Linux talking to my cable modem, but talked it into connecting
the rest of my network, too! I've gone from one computer running Win98
talking to the internet to a nice little local network of various operating
systems, all nicely Connected. :)

Nothing like making an icing sandwich out of chocolate icing
between two chocolate chip cookies.

I baked and frosted (not iced, frosted - as there seems to be such a debate
- to which jiffer is correct, I might add) about 100 cookies - will do some
omore this week - started fulltime here at the firm yesterday - am 95% done
shopping and wrapping Christmas gifts - will take on Christmas cards today
- can't wait to come home for Christmas.

IHB- instead of being a few hours later for work, I just didn't go in.
So it's been a lovely day. And I actually managed to get my car
unstuck, thought I don't want to drive in this crap...

#793, #787 (i think) and many other icing things - geez u people are all
making me hungrey :) last year I made some cookies for my friends- ifirst made
an experimental batch which were yummy and my family ate. The second lot were
like rock and i didn't think anyone would eat them (NASA might accept them
as a heat shield?) but Neil ate about 10 - and they're big cookies :) - i'll
try again this year, but it should be considered a public health risk...

IHB I was able to talk to a few long-distance friends while online last night,
and I bought lots of nummy winter-type food. There's nothing like waking up
and eating maple/brown sugar oatmeal, peanut butter toast with bananas, and
cocoa. =)
