one more quick question... we are not going to start posting DOG (pet) pictures to pass the time are we

 

Better we do that than start talking politics!

 

Thanks guys. I can vote in this year's election. I am registering as an independent and will vote wisely. Is there any other choice?

 

We must be missing Ben to stir things up!!!!!!!

 

Nope, not one bit. No sir.

 

6speed is the place for the Ben experience.

 

Thanks Guys! I just had this exact conversation with my wife. We only get to do this once and they (and we) are only young once. I really cherished celebrating my son's third birthday - it really was something special. My wife was talking about going back to work before the end of her maternity leave and I think I convinced her that she would be giving up a lot of irreplacable time with our daughter if she did so. I personally think that it would be sad if she were pressured to do so by her boss (which is the way she feels right now).

Congrats on the citizenship and the impending new passport - I was in one of the last groups before Clinton left office. I'm glad that I had Bill's signature on my papers rather than Dubya's . Where was your ceremony? I was lucky enough to be living in MA at the time so was lucky enough to have mine at Fanueil Hall - no better place for it!

Marc, sorry to heatr that you'll not make the drive on Sunday - I am sooooo looking forward to the drive. The pregnancy this year has meant that my poor car has felt as neglected as Phil's C4S - I need to get out and drive!

 

Yeah, there has been a lot of turnover. Some of our regulars have moved on, some are busy and the forum "issues" have not helped.

 

Congrats on your little guy's 3rd B'day!!!

I lucked out and got two 1st base tix to the Phillies/Dodgers NCLS game tonight - 11th row. Should be fun. GO PHILS!!

 

My ceremony took place in a district court, Hartford CT. At least its one of the first 13 states. Its amazing how much nicer people are in the government agencies now that you are a citizen..

 

Of course, I know you will be driving the C4S to the ballpark!!!

Man, I was trying to say that with a straight face, but couldn't hold back the laughter.

 

Congrats!!!

That will last only a day or two!

 

We could always bring Ben back. Or, we could start an M3 thread.

Either choice should be good for an easy 10 pager.

 

Congrats on becoming a citizen of the US!!! A fellow nutmeg'er too!

As for baseball........Go Sox!
