5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 11

[justmestace]

John's here - will he suffice in a pinch?

Really sad we're both sitting on the coach with our respective lap tops listening to the Cubs Game...

homer!!! Now the Cubs are only losing by 2!!! They better get moving - it's the bottom of the 9th!!!

Maybe the Cubs are losing because you're sitting on the COACH!

No no no. We did that once. Baggage claim to Hyatt. UGH. The kids are little and can't carry much. So Mike and I each had one of the rolling suitcases AND a big duffle on top of it. My shoulder felt like it was pulling off my body and my hands got blisters in that "short" trip.

I said "never again."

So the next time we had to make that journey we went to the courtesy phone by the baggage claim and called the Hyatt. They sent a bell hop down in about 3 minutes! Worth the tip! IMHO!

Are you serious? They'll do that?? WOW. I'm glad I told you all how stupid I am, or I wouldn't have known.


U-T.O.P.!

pdfg and for all of our Dad's and everyone else who needs it.

 

[justmestace]

So is John still around? It's not as much fun as threatening Kevin with setting his wife up for dangerous excursions......


Okay, so here's the question. I have the Canon PowerShot Pro1....what setting do I need to use to get "action" shots of Jordan dancing? Is it an aperture setting, or what? (please don't laugh at me)

Yup, they will! AND, we had them take our bags BACK down after our Hyatt stay. They took them to the place where you check your bags and "cut" in line and got our luggage tag claim checks and boarding passes for us!

Better to rub off on the people than rub ON the people!




all is well with the world. The Buckeyes won.

 

[scuba diver]

I'm a football widow today. Mike and KT are at the game. Nick and I have been watching it on TV while we play Canasta. It's 1/2 time and the Buckeyes are winning 28 to 3!

Maybe some day they will play a real team!

 

[scuba diver]

No diving tomorrow - long story - full boats, oh well....

We got a call from our dive instructor, Red, and are now diving on Monday off Daytona. Going to do a few wrecks.

We went to a wedding reception tonight for someone from Sharon's work. She sits next to a couple that works at Disney. They were across the table so of course I could not hear a thing they said.

I asked her in the car, Matt drove home, what they did at Disney. She does not know. A perfect opportunity to gain inside information and she blows it.

Set the dial to Av. This will allow you to adjust the aperature. Rotate the main dial until the largest aperature (This is actually the smallest f/number. It should be around f/3.5 at telephoto and 2.5 at wide. You also need to set the ISO to 400. It should be on the FUNC menu.

Maybe some day they will play a real team!

Northern Illinois, Cincinnati, BGSU???? no real teams ...Texas is the only REAL team on their schedule this season...

(saying that with the utmost affection as a BG alumna... )

If I didn't know any better - I would have thought it was GarRyspeak...

Gotcha. I think I can handle that. Thank you!!
I'm going to make her dance around tomorrow so that I can practice.

Good morning cruisers





Happy Sunday!


​

I'm up early this morning but boy am I tired. We were out late last night at the neighborhood festival out in Schaumburg where our friends live. We went with them to see Gary Sinise and his band (the Lt. Dan Band). I was expecting a festival akin to what our town throws but this had to be 10 to 20 times that. Mobs of people. Still we had a good time, the band was good, and we got to spend time with friends. This is a couple we met through the DIS boards. We did DVC Member Homecoming with them, sailed on last Member Cruise with them and will be sailing with them again in 7 weeks. Good people. Now I just have to comvince them to go with all of us in 2008.

Stacey -

I know how hard this is on you. Wish I had some words that could make it better but I don't. Know that we are here for you and for all who need some prayers and pixie dust.
