Norm: Re: resolutions ...

Well, the chocolate chips thing was kinda' just for fun. But, I actually tried it last night. I found out that it works better if you add peanut butter right before ... well, you know.

Incidentally, I've been beta testing FBN-Decrypt on your list of resolutions. Not to pry, of course, but to validate the operation of our newest product.

I think it has a glitch in it. Either that, or you're going to have a very busy Valentine's day. For your sake, I hope it's not a glitch.

Norm: Re: resolutions ...

I'm really enjoying reading the New Year's resolutions that were posted in the top-secret members-only clubhouse.

I just now tweaked one of the FBN-Decrypt parameters and was able to decode another section of your resolutions.

Are you serious about that trip to Australia? Let me know when you're planning on it, and we can make it a corporate excursion for the purposes of ... uh ... hmmmm ... staff introspection? Yeah, that's it.

Then, you can write it off as a business expense (along with the rest of us). And, we can use the Corporate Credit card to purchase the tickets. To get the frequent flyer miles, of course. I'm sure the stockholders won't mind footing the bill for the benefits obtained by having a totally relaxed and refreshed corporate executive staff. And, with all those frequent flyer miles, we can give away a free flight to one of our loyal stockholders who guesses the correct amount of revenue that FBN will generate this year. The contest entry forms will be monitored closely by yours truly, and all guesses of zero will be rejected.

Re: Drop dead deadline for posting my new year's resolutions

Norm,

I hope you noticed that I posted my new year's resolutions in the clubhouse on time as well. I'll vouch that yours were there on time if you'll vouch that mine were there as well. As you may be aware, the annual ritual of resolution making, marks the high point of the Promise Maker's calendar. So don't take any of my resolutions too seriously.. I won't.

I saw TED's list of resolutions and concur that it is unlikely he will be able to do that with chocolate chips. What confused me was the one about writing a screen play for a movie called "Dances with Chickens". I did like the one resolution about hiring TLC to run around in circles in front of FBNA headquarters yelling "the sky is falling". All the while, carrying a big "Year 2000" sign. Tell TLC to keep his eyes open because we would not want him/her? to run into the others doing the same thing.

Regards

Tom
