She got home via taxi last night so her bicycle was at the station. It's 9 degrees C outside, so I suggested that she get a taxi this morning as well. She said none were available. What about a bus? They are slower than the train. But they're faster than walkin' right? Not really? Basically I want her to be healthy and happy. permalinkChat with Gennie with a G 8:31 AM me: hey rhino rider!

Cornyn response 10:34am JST Thursday 14 February 2008 (day 13840) Hmmmm. Dear Mr. Nugen: Thank you for contacting me about the United States' policy toward Israel. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter. In a region characterized by instability and violence, Israel stands alone in its commitment to democracy, free-market principles, and individual liberties. The strong cultural, religious, and political ties shared by the United States and Israel form a bond between our countries that should never be broken. As you know, Hezbollah and Hamas are terrorist organizations that refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist and call for its destruction. Furthermore, these terrorist organizations have repeatedly attacked Israel, killing innocent civilians. These attacks underscore the fact that we must continue to confront terror in every quarter. The United States joins with Israel in fighting the War on Terror, and we remain resolute in pursuing our joint goals. It is critical that the Palestinian Authority leadership also act decisively to end terrorism. Since its founding in 1948, Israel has been a strong, faithful ally to the United States in the Middle East. This strategic partnership is important for both countries. U.S. policy toward Israel should reflect the mutual interests and security goals of both nations, and I will continue to support such a policy. It is my hope that we can end the scourge of terrorism and usher in a new chapter in the peace process. I appreciate having the opportunity to represent the interests of Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Fred: NICE me: thanks The solution with which I was blessed has admin input coming from two locations instead of just one. Fred: coo me: input at only point A causes problems over at point B, but input just at pont B means we don't know what happened in terms of point A and i was like, "oh.. just do a tiny checkbox at point A" and then a radio button at point B" and it's solved Sent at 12:06 PM on Thursday me: It does require a DB change to record at least input A; not sure about B yet. Sent at 12:07 PM on Thursday Fred: pretty damn cool....good job me: thanks g
2:15pm JST Point A finished: I've just added code so we can select just the users who have cellphones. permalinkLunch 3:33pm JST Thursday 14 February 2008 (day 13840) Went to Lawson's for lunch; Akami was not there.

Links to be added later (?). Headed home now; I think Ami is cooking lasagna!!! permalinkami made dinner 10:30am JST Friday 15 February 2008 (day 13841) Lovely Valentine's evening with Ami last night. She made gyoza! I had thought lasagna because I saw spied some lasagna noodles (like a kid spying Christmas presents), but those noodles are still crispily in their packaging. Not just gyoza, but Ami made soup, genmai (brown rice), and potato salad as well! So so so delicious and so much food! I packed my lunch box full and safely stored it in the refrigerator for lunch today (and forgot to bring it this morning)... But dinner tonight is handled and Saturday as well! We hung out upstairs after discussing meanings of the phrase "hang out" while in the
kitchen. First I gave her a back massage and then many silly tickling games
