Robin - I don't work for the government (unless paying income tax counts). I think that the internet problems were worldwide yesterday due to the new worm that was clogging computers. I sure hope that things are better today because I don't plan on driving to work.
The Polaris DISmeet was a bust. I guess that it was a bad time for everyone because nobody else was able to show up. My wife and daughter and I had a wonderful meal at Applebee's, so it wasn't a total loss. And I didn't break any bones, so I guess that my DISmeet curse has been lifted.
