I am off until tomorrow. Going to the Detroit area to spend some time with a group of buddies, where we will be engaging in the traditional male bonding rituals of eating steaks the size of hubcaps and playing poker.

Holy cow with that kind of a lineup it sounds like most of the action is going to be under the table. Wow.

LOL. As one of those societal outcasts, I resemble that remark.
There's a fascinating debate about the moral values and breadth of Richard Feynman over here.
Actually, I grew up in the Detroit area; so I have to wonder where you went to hang out....
That sounds an awful lot like the ice fishing expedition in Maine that I went on last month. Some pretty high-powered dudes were brought low that weekend. What happened up there, stayed up there. That's all I'm going to say. Urp!
