I&#8217;m sure there<br \/>\n have been studies and theories about this and will look them up someday..<\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;m only here a couple of days before I&#8217;m off to Orlando, Florida for IBM&#8217;s<br \/>\n Lotusphere convention. I leave very early Sunday morning and fly back on<br \/>\n Friday morning. After that I think I&#8217;ll be here for a while before the next<br \/>\n trip.<\/p>\n<p> There is a lot of snow on the ground here in Pocatello. The storms that<br \/>\n came through shortly after I departed for Belgium left behind a goodly<br \/>\n amount of snow. The days afterwards were very cold so most of that snow<br \/>\n still remains. There is still opportunity for more snow and we need it. The<br \/>\n snowpack in the mountains is still below normal.<\/p>\n<p> Nina bought a &#8220;student desk&#8221; at OfficeMax to put in the sitting room by the<br \/>\n front window. She wanted a place to read and study. I put it together last<br \/>\n night. It was a much bigger job than either of us expected. Assembly took<br \/>\n more than three hours. The desk looks nice and will be a good addition. It<br \/>\n certainly helped keep me awake and moving around until after 10 pm last<br \/>\n night.<\/p>\n<p> <em>The Apprentice<\/em> was on TV while I was building the desk. I&#8217;ve not<br \/>\n watched the program much before and was quite amused to see the<br \/>\n advertisement on the top of taxi that drove the &#8220;fired&#8221; guy away.<br \/>\n &#8220;Hotjobs.com&#8221; was the advertisement on the top of the taxi. It used to be<br \/>\n &#8220;monster.com&#8221; sponsoring the taxi.<\/p>\n<p> Sponsorship for projects on the <em>The Apprentice<\/em> has become a hot<br \/>\n commodity. Last night BurgerKing was prominent in the show and a couple of<br \/>\n BK senior execs were on the show. Great advertising for the company. I<br \/>\n wonder how much they paid for the opportunity? Are other &#8220;reality&#8221; shows<br \/>\n doing the same thing? I would not be very surprised!<\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The day is about half over and that&#8217;s a good thing.
