I finally gave up. We ended the month yesterday, and the computer was going to be down at 10:00 a.m. this morning, so I called Mike, made sure he could get into the safe, and then crawled back into bed. Up now for some chicken noodle soup, and then back to bed we'll go. Ugh. Well, enough whining.

Our work newsletter survey question for October: You can have lunch with any living famous person. Who would you like to have lunch with? We've had some interesting answers come in, from Stephen Hawkings to Russell Crowe to Dale Earnhart, Jr. It's one of the perks I like about my job, doing the newsletter.

And...your dining companion would be?
