Remembering a free weekend...nonMBA

I'd completely forgotten what a free weekend was like, but that didn't stop me from re-doing all the activities.

Sat;
Surfing - Nothing like two hours of surfing, to cleanse the stress from a weary soul.
Texas Hold'em (TH) - Nothing like a few hours of TH and trash talking with friends to reconnect.

Sun;
BBQ - Nothing like a half day of beers , grilling steaks & salmon, and "the game" of the NFL season 2007/2008' (undefeated Colts vs undefeated Patriots) on the tube.


Next post will be from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam. Yeah...hitting the road for a trip across the big pond (pacific ocean) to rekindle my spirits and Vietnamese heritage.

I'm a ....

...GMAT savant. I had dinner on Friday with my friend and we talked about vacation. He was low on vacation but wasn't sure how much he will have this coming fall for another vacation. This is where the GMAT studies kicked in. He used 5 days of vacation last year (assume he started w/ zero vacation at beginning of year 06') and the unused vacation accumulate to this year. My friend earns 7 hours of vacation per month. How many total weeks of vacation will he have by October? He's now ready to plan his vacation in October...thanks to me, the idiot GMAT savant.




...Chocoholic. I was playing Texas Hold'em w/ friends on Sunday evening . Their girlfriends/wives were out, so when the boss's away, the boys can play. After one round of Texas Hold'em and half bottle of merlot (only me drinking the wine) I grabbed the left over box of chocolate. I died and went to chocolate bliss. One word; Godiva dark chocolate ganache. hehe... Amazingly the pairing of Merlot and Godiva chocolate was surprisingly good. I owe my friend's girlfriend one box of Godiva.
