Thanks Lisa. Always nice to be missed. There has actually been stuff at work to keep me busy and it has been busy around home. But all is well.

Susan will be working (new job) so I will hanging around the house. Probably mess with the truck a little, fix the hurricane damage to my roof (so I can keep the insurance money to myself), take Susan to lunch one day, sleep on the couch with the dog, you know, me stuff. It's use it or lose it and I never give vacation days back. I use this up and come back to work and I will have five weeks on the books to use up again.

Thats easy...popping your ears becomes natural eventually. I either usually yawn or flex my jaw muscles, anything to let that "trapped" air out of your inner canal.

Yeah besides, nobody has to worry about cleaning up after themselves, having morning breath, leaving wet towels everywhere...

Oh shoot, Cris my bad, I meant to clean up after myself. Sorry about the wet towel babe. I'll make it up to you...
