Finally finally finally!

Assuming I stay sober for another 70 minutes (and I will), I will have 60 days, weekends included. It's only taken me six months to get them. Thanks everybody for helping me get this far.

Love to all,
Joe

I bet you can make it that last 19ish minutes. Congrats!!! 60 days is awesome, and they just keep getting better.

You've already made it in my time zone!!!

Thank God and God bless,

Two months....that's great! Let's all go out and have a couple to celebrate

Euphoria can be a tricky thing Joe. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground and be careful of that pink cloud.

Thanks friends. And yep, the weather here is nasty, though not cold. The front hasn't hit down here yet, so we've just got about 100% humidity and drizzle. I was actually dripping sweat this morning from all the humidity. Temps were in the 50's, so that's saying something. They're still predicting a chance of snow flurries on Christmas eve though. The last time I saw snow this far south was 1994, so I'll believe it when I see it.

Well, I'll try and send some of this down there for ya! I didn't realize Houston was so different from Dallas - my sister went to law school at University of Houston, and I do remember at her graduation - the humidity just about killed me! By the way, did I mention - You stud YOU!!!! on your 60 days!~

Thanks Peaches. My mom's family is from Dallas. I spent a fair amount of time there as a kid. It's a different world up there - big hair, funny accents, the works. Our weather's always a shade cooler and a lot more humid in the summer b/c of the Gulf, and a good bit warmer in the winter for the same reason. Right now it's just a swamp out there.

Good reminder Joe.
I dreamt about you last night.
