MessageYeh Howie, I was sick and was the first to leave on Saturday (before the meeting ended). THus, I didn't get stuck in the snow. However, while you guys were watching TV, I was waiting outside the urgent care center in Seattle with a 103 degree temperature.

As I recall, I think Andy was the last guy to get home overall. The worst part of that ordeal was sitting on hold to rearrange a flight only to have it cancelled a few hours later and have to start over. The best part was watching football with the gang on Sunday afternoon.

It is a known commodity and it is good to have the opportunity to see staff and surely does cost less. I suspect it also less stress for staff. Last January I was almost the last one out of Hartford and I still can vote for Hartford.

For the last two years we have not been fortunate from the weather standpoint. Last January 21 of us were stranded for an extra day due to the airport being closed. I have not discussed this with Barry Shelley, but a guess would be that the cost was in the area of an extra 5K. I know that many of you like to harass the staff, but another location that is not so prone to snow and cold weather (Dallas) might be something you want to consider. What are your thoughts?
