I always have a YS in for that reason. Would rather be drinking on per diem than my own nickle. Too many prostitutes in my position that will WS anything 3 days or less, even weekends.

Some of my best game watching was on layovers, because the Wife was AT HOME! In fact, a year ago for the Super Bowl, I was in SYD on a layover.

But we found a bar open, the game came on at 10am Monday Morning (local time). We talked them into firing up the pizza ovens too! We were the only ones in the place until about noon and had 5 big screen TV's all to ourselves, so everyone on every side of the table could see the game. Lots of pizza, beer, and plenty of time to recover when the game ended, about 2pm local!

As of now, sitting on my butt in the crashpad unless the myth of "mother of all sick call days" happens soon. How about you?

When the thought of one more kid finally outweighs my juvenile pre-occupation with protecting the jewels, I'll make the responsible choice and stop over-populating the earth. Until then, as you said so eloquently:

Why do they call it "fixed" when it does not work any more?

Now that is a good point. Who would we have to fight with slow/sailing/alpha and keep this place so lively?

Touche.
