Where's Robbo?

Sorry for the light non-existent posting the past couple days.

I'm presently caught between the Isengard of a nasty flu and the Barad Dur of an appellate brief deadline. The hacking, fever and general yuckiness of the former have unfortunately distracted me from the incoming storm of the latter, so now, like Gandalf, I am frantically riding for Minas Tirith before it is too late. (I only hope that Shadowfax doesn't mind me getting phlem all over his mane.)

Anyhoo, I may post sparingly until the weekend and on into the beginning of next week.

Yip! at you later.

UPDATE: What's with all this "You seem to be sick so often" stuff? Nuh-uh!

Mom says I get sick because of the stress. Such a good boy, she says, You worry too much!

Such a nice boy! And so handsome! And so successful! Who wouldn't love this boy? she says.

Oy!

Really, people, I don't get sick any more often than the ordinary fellah with three kids bringing home every known bug in the 'verse. Stop making me sound like Ivor the Invalid!

Dude, you sure are sick a lot. Doesn't the government make its employees get a flu shot?

Or perhaps (cue ominous music) the government makes its employees get too many flu shots.

Bwah ha ha ha!

How else is the government to know which flu to spread around if it can't test the various ones on its minions.

Get better soon!

As to Steve, I'm sure he and Rosie O'Donnell will be done with their whips and chains in very short order.

First, sorry Robbo that you are sick (again)...

B) Way OT:
As most of you know, this weekend is the Army/Navy game… No matter what your proclivity, please seek out a sports bar or restaurant that will be sponsoring military families and broadcasting this event. Most likely, they will be having an open buffet with a cash bar.

Here on Long Island, although many members of our military family attend the event, there are a few restaurants that will be hosting military families for the game. Their activities include open buffet and cash bar, as I already stated, as well as tree decorating competitions to fund various military charities. What a fantastic way to support our military charities!

As the Director of Military Outreach for Operation Gratitude, I am in full scheming mode as to how I can win the tree competition! In addition, I will be there with tons of writing supplies so that the attendees, no matter what their stripe, will have an easy way to send a letter of gratitude to our men and women overseas…

So, if you are planning to watch the game this weekend, please consider doing it from a watering hole that supports our men and women. The charities will be there in good cheer! Our men and women will certainly appreciate it.

Regards,

Babs

Babs,

As a Culinary Arts student, I plan to open a restaurant of my own some day. I'd love to hear of ways I can use my business to support the military. Please drop me a line.

And oh yeah, GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
