Good Friday morning everyone, the coffee is on and kickin'. Had a great time last night at Schlesinger's, a lot of the regulars were there and a few new faces as well. Well, we are a week away from Christmas, hope everyone is finishing up your Xmas shopping and all. Sports wise, we have plenty of NHL and NFL this weekend and the weather is looking to be in our favor as well. Enjoy the weekend and smoke em' if you get the chance....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday after a great weekend of shopping and a trip to NYC yesterday. The City was packed and the Tree in Rockefeller Center looked superb. The "President" already gave up Thursday afternoon off so this should be a quick week at the office. The Cadets here at West Point have already gone home for the holidays so it will be a quiet one as well. Enjoy everyone........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday after a nice 4 day break. We all had a nice time yesterday, enjoyed brunch at "Live at the Falcon": http://www.liveatthefalcon.com/ which had a great blues / jazz band playing when we got there. A big congrats to the Jets as they beat the Patriots yesterday, just wished the Eagles would have beat to Red Skins and the whole weekend would have been great sports wise. Anyway, enjoy your week and hope everyone got what they expected for Christmas........ :-)

Employees still need to contact their supervisor for approval. Specific procedures for requesting leave in these circumstances are at the discretion of each activity.

"WEST POINT IS CODE RED UNTIL (slated time)"
Employees should not report until the announcement time. Supervisors will excuse absences without charge to leave for all employees affected whether or not leave was previously approved. Employees who do not report for work by the announced time will be charged leave for the remainder of their absence if it was properly requested and approved.

"WEST POINT IS CODE RED ALL DAY."

Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on since 0420 as always and it's back to work Monday. Congrats to all the NFL teams that advanced in the playoffs, hopefully not too many coaches get fired today that didn't fare so well. Since the Eagles didn't make it this year, all I can say now is the NASCAR is only a few weeks away. Enjoy the week all and smoke a favorite or two if you get the chance....... :-)
