Hannah, it looks like I didn't save "January 15, 2000" in the Daily talk folder. Is that a fixable thing.

Yeah, it's fixable, but probaby not important. Eh?

I had eggs for breakfast. I always have eggs. I am a giant egg.

I have Triscuits (aka The Manna of the Gods) at my desk. Hence, no hunger problems.

I do have sleeping problems, but I think that's unrelated. I was up til 2 last night doing laundry. I don't know why. Just couldn't sleep.

Haircut today - yay!

Mike, I hope you haven't been at work since last night.

I like eggs, but not the yolk (unless they're scrambled). The best way to make eggs is to heat butter in a pan and fry the egg whites until the edges are crispy and brown. Oh, that is tasty. Especially if you cooked bacon or sausage in the same pan.

Dear Cricket,

I think you're beautiful? No, no no darlin'. I think the best part of the superbowl this year will be the commercials. I think there's no way Survivor II will be as good as the first one. But you being beautiful? There's not much thinking required there.

Still waiting for directions to your place, Bigmatt

Eggs are good, eggs are great. Egg-lovers outnumber egg-haters on this board, that's for sure.

I like chili omelettes from the Camellia Grill. My sister Kathleen (Al, you could always say that she's named after your grandmother and my sister INRI) eats one of those a week. And still weighs 97 pounds.

I saw her on SNL this week. To be honest, I was not impressed. At all. I felt bad for her backup singers as they were far, far more talented than she was. Her dippy camoflauge outfit and her adequate voice left me feeling like I was watching a high school talent competition.

First of all, I had higher hopes for cricket. Clearly, two things:

1) Her grief on the passing of Sailor the Rat has lead her into dementia.

2) She has never seen a picture of PigFatt.

Secondly, Mike. You jag. Yes, it was sort of compiled from the sickness e-mails, but...the slight changes...the subtle nuances...the tasteful polishing...the addition of the Oklahoma story...

Besides, didn't you print out a copy for the Allison Shrine? Come on, man.
