9094 - Thursday

Tomorrow is the Christmas party at work. I wonder what the following week before vacation is going to be like? I suspect it'll mostly be business as usual.

Got BHK David DeBoy's Crabs for Christmas CD... gave it to her early... as a cd of christmas music on christmas day has a very limited shelf-life. (At least until next year) She was more than delighted - it really is pretty much "Our" holiday song, after all.

The other songs on the CD are pretty groovy, too. I was a little worried it might be a lot of filler, but the tunes are a lot of fun - especially if you're a Marylander.

Found out how to add everyone on my lj friends page to an rss reader directly... That's pretty dang handy.

Also, drawings of Bears in Ill-fitting hats.

"By an overwhelming majority Metro board members approved today the largest increases in subway fares and parking fees in the agency's history after months of contentious debate among directors...

"The board members essentially approved a plan offered in recent days by Maryland members that lessens the impact on suburban and long-distance riders. That plan followed a public hearing that drew more than 400 comments from riders, many of whom said that proposed fare and fee hikes were too high and not merited by metro's unreliable service."
