In your defense? You haven't had one of those since the 70s and the Steel Curtain! (I knew that comment would bring you out!)


We are still tentatively planning on it, depending on the details. Like I said before, we want to make it a day trip, and its about a 3-hour drive to Detroit. So if we plan a lunch or late lunch, then we're in!

see you don't know me that well. I'm really not much of a Steeler fan. As a rule, I'm just not into pro sports though I will watch hockey if the penguins are in the playoffs. Otherwise, I'm a fair weather pro sports fan and will get excited like I should (but not like most of the nuts in the city) if the team is doing well.

And as to the michigan trip. Jan tells me the game is scheduled at noon right now so unless that changes, our tentative plans are a pre-game get-together for breakfast and a post-gamer too (like 4 pm ish) I suspect there is a decent chance the game may be changed to a late afternoon or evening affair, but that's up to the TV gods...

We could probably do the post-game, if that's in the plans. Just keep us updated on the definite schedule. What about the Friday night before or Sunday?

Hey Kathy, how was the movies? What'd you go see?

The grandkids wanted to see 1408 It is a thriller. It was ok, but pretty predictbile(sp?) I have seen better thriller and of course i have seen worse too. I guess on a 1 to 10 scale I would give it a 3 1/2.

I wanted to see the new die hard movie with Bruce Willis. Greg and I will probably go see it next weekend after our company leaves. I still havnt got to see the new pirates of the caribbean movie yet.
I also want to see Spiderman movie and soon it will be time to see The Simpsons movie and I saw previews for a couple more I cant remember the names of that looked good.

I am way behind on movies this summer, just too many things happening for me to see them.


Where is your dad?? I am waiting!!! He can always set a new password if he needs to. We need more posters here!!


Tomarrow we are off to WDW for the day.

Shell - Keep planning on coming up because I'm sure we'll figure out something that everyone can do. Friday night is a definite possibility - not sure how long the drive is for us..but we plan to leave as soon as we can spring Elizabeth from 3rd grade - thinking no later than 3 but hopefully as early as 1. Saturday post game (if it's a noon game) is a for sure thing. If the game is later, then a Saturday lunch kind of thing (in addition to a later post game) is definite too.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Still working on uploading pix. Won't bore everyone here with them but will send a link to the album.

I've still got to edit 3 more Dv tapes from last years cruise, so I
need to get these finished up before November. I did get 5 of the tape
completed and on DVD so I must find time on the weekend to get
these others done. It takes me about two days to do just one.
Remember . . . . Love the Banana, Take care of the Banana !

Good morning everyone!

Busy day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to post -- I had a 5k race in the morning, and then my sister and her family dropped by in the afternoon.

Today we are going to do some work on our deck. We had to buy more boards to keep the critters from going under there. (The people who made our deck "forgot" some important details! ) So we'll be staining, installing, (and cursing!)

Talk to you later!

Bill -- LOVE the shirt design (my Bill gives it a thumbs-up as well!) I think it's great the way it is. I also like the idea of everyone ordering from one place so we all have the same color shirt, same design placement, etc. I think special distinction for returning nana heads would be a good idea.

Last year, I bought iron-on lettering and put our "DIS names" (PG One, PG Two, PG Four) on the backs of our shirts. It still didn't help Kathy remember who I was!! (Sorry Kathy, just have to bring that up every once in a while! ) Anyway, it was a really easy way to personalize the shirts, and the letters have held up to a couple runs through the washer & dryer. If we add something to the backs of the shirts through Cafe Press, then I won't feel compelled to do anything on my own. Now THAT's an idea I like!!!!!!

thanks bunches Cheri....'preciate the vote of confidence....

Love the banana, Rick?...hey, thats catchy!

I found a couple of new ones for you Kathy....

and for those tough times when no one wants to post....

enjoy...time to get my lazy, fuzzy butt to the gym!

OK, one more post this morning before I go tend to my laundry. . .

Christine -- what's the name & address of your restaurant?? A friend of ours is heading to Vegas this week (she goes several times a year) and I told her about your new restaurant! She prefers local places instead of the national chains when she's there, so this sounds like a perfect place for her!

Onto to cruise business:

So far, no specific excursion plans. I have 4 months & 2 days to figure that out.

1. Have we decided if we're going to try to have a cruise meet on the first day? I vote for something around 2:45-3:00ish on Saturday. That seemed to work really well last year. For those of you like my DH, who are squeamish about making definite plans for your vacation (especially when you're trying to settle in on the first day), this time fit in nicely because people had already had a chance to have lunch and explore the ship a bit. This is also a "closed-ended" meeting because the safety drill comes up at 4:00.

2. If we're going to do a cruise meet, are we going to incorporate a gift exchange? I'm 50-50 on this. It worked out quite well last year, but it was an added thing to buy & pack for the trip.

3. I "assume" we'll try to link dinner reservations as the date draws nearer?? For us, that's what made the cruise last year!!! Yes, Shell, you can say, "I told you so," as many times as you want!!!! As always, you're right!!!!! (You can direct Bob to this post!! )

4. We are staying at the Hyatt (in MCO) on Friday night and taking the DCL bus out to the port on Saturday. There will be a HUGE party at the Hyatt on Friday.

For those of you still on the fence about where to stay, I (and Jeff) will offer this tid bit: the Hyatt is soooooo incredibly convenient. It is literally IN the airport! You gather your bags from the baggage claim, go up one level and you're at the Hyatt. If you take the DCL bus to port, you put your suitcases outside your hotel room at 8:00 a.m. Saturday and head down to the lobby to get on the bus list. You don't have to handle your bags again until you pull them into your stateroom on board!

While at Hyatt/MCO, you can eat in one of their restaurants, or go into the airport food court area. There are several stores and an arcade to help pass time. We had a runway-view room so we spent a lot of time on the balcony watching planes take off & land!

If you have little kids, or have a long travel day on Friday, the Hyatt is a great choice!

Gotta go!

Have a great day!

Just got done weeding the garden. Uh ... zucchini, anyone?

CHRISTINE: If you post today, when I bread the zucchini to make zucchini parmesan, do I dip it in any liquid before putting the breading on?
