the only fight I had after that involved the same guy, four of his friends, and the usual assortment of pipes, bottles and nunchucks. Looked bad for me until a senior known for beign a tough guy drove by, stopped his vintage mustang, and intervened. Seemed my dad (a cop) cut him a major break years before, and it was payback time.

whoa. how long were u in the hospital.
never been in a real fight. odd, since i tend to get mouthy.

Clot-
The aau phenomena has ruined many sports. Soccer included. I fear lax will eventually follow as its popularity explodes.

When there were only three main regions, cuse(upstate), LI, and MD
I was always amazed how you could tell where a kid came from by his playing style….glad to see its growth in NJ and beyond however.

One could find a worse sport.

Everything about lacrosse is a refreshing change from baseball, football, basketball. The attitude isn’t about college/full ride/AAU teams, etc, since there are virtually no full rides in lacrosse. Even the top players only get partials.

Players play because they want to. Your last game in college will most likely be your last game ever.

“As if driving a $35K shiny car makes you a better, smarter more responsible person anyway”

$35,000? No way. One needs to spend at least $50,000 in order to show greater smarts, or responsibility. $35m, ph-lee-ze!

When I was working in Whippany and dealt with people from all over Morris and Essex counties, the difference in attitude when I got home was palpable.

Just so much more practical and down to earth.

Pat – thanks very much for the info and advice. The Plan Admin is really nice, so that may help.

This comment was a real eye opener though. Didn’t think of it that way. Live and learn.:

You never earned it. You agreed to earn less money (a salary reduction) in order to obtain a tax benefit.”

Sastry and Syncmaster,

Any truth that Edison, NJ is as well, if not more, known as other major US cities in India?

Went to headquarters in Chicago and had lunch with a co-worker….knowing I was from NJ, she asked if I lived near Edison. Then she promptly mentioned my comment above.

[Re] 141: Stu, thanks for the laugh….thought I was the only person who felt that way when I was mentoring Wipro folks!

“Stu, that was a dark period in kettle’s life, he was living in a motel off 78, mixing downers with cutty sark, playing 70s music backwards. he got carried away with his laptop one night while smoking a carton of filterless camels.”

sounds like the beginning of a Murakami novel

#193 comrade,

How could I ever forget those 2?

My wife met some of my friends from Long Branch last week. She couldn’t believe how nice and down to earth they were. I keep telling her I would rather have our kids grow up in a place like Long Branch than Madison.

That would be a mighty big third leg.

Did anybody get a broker notice this week regarding FDIC coverage on cash and sweep accounts?

Anyone have any idea what the interest rates are going to be?
