9. Three things I can't do:

*Catch most anything thrown at/to/in my general direction
*Fly

16. Three people I'm tagging (to do this):

  3. 3-2-1, 1-2-3, it's all the same. :) It was a long time ago...

    Eric, I thought you might be surprised by that, I know I keep it a real secret. But I just wanted to let people in on that little bit of dirty laundry since I know it's such a shock. :)

  4. Writing a DB schema flat file parser

    Translation please?

    Mmmm, standing rib roast, leek soup and brown bread sounds fabulous...thinking about making Sunday dinner. ;-)

  6. Gwynne, it's basically taking a database and saving it out to a comma delimited file (meaning everything is separated by a comma) then going through and making it readable by another application. It's not exciting.

    Did you have a good Sunday dinner? :)

  7. Ah, that does sound exciting! ;-)

    Well, Sunday dinner was good, but not that good. We had grilled chicken and vegetables instead of the rib roast. :-( But I did make up a grocery list that includes rib roast and leeks. Maybe next Sunday's dinner...
