Omar, does this mean you can collect royalties?

I know, this sounds weird, but I forgot how much fun it was to hammer nails until yesterday.  A group of managers from my team did a full day volunteer project at Habitat for Humanity in Daly City.  This was my first H4H experience and I found it to be physically and mentally rewarding, not to mention the good that will come of bringing homeownership to a low-income family in the expensive Bay Area housing market.

At any rate, just remember, the key to successful hammering is to make the hammer work for you and get leverage by holding it closer to the bottom!

Green Bay Packers season tickets have been sold out since 1960.  In 1997 I signed up on the waiting list for Packers season tickets.  At that time, which was prior to the Lambeau Field renovation, the estimate was that I would be 51 by the time season tickets were available.  Given that there are more seats and the season ticket transfer rules have tightened up a bit, it might be more like 45 now (I can't find the wait calculator anymore).

While I'm not planning on moving back to Wisconsin anytime soon, by the time I'm that age, you never know.  If the packers were having a good season, I would even consider flying back for some games!
