5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 12

[tinksdad]

Diving was a no go yesterday. The seas were to rough, again. This is the second trip with Sam and Irene that got blown out.

Instead I had running gear and got in my morning run. After that Sam and I meet up at his favorite Irish Pub for an Irish breakfast and beer.

Even though they were not open when we got there we were able to find an open window and got in.

There were a lot of cars and streets closed so something big was going on. Come to find out it was a "rainbow" paraide and they were proud.

I started to get a little concerned about why Sam invited me to that bar on that day. At least he did not suggest that we hold hands and skip down the street.

Nice to know you haven't lost your "touch"!!!

Thanks for the morning chuckle!!

The joy of ocean diving, too bad about the diving.

Diana/Kevin -- congrats on Alicia's dance performances. You should post the picture for us to see

Well, I am moving slow this morning as I have a dentist appointment, so I dont have to be in the office at 7:30 this morning. Also excited because it is a short week for me. This Friday is a holiday for us, as well as next Friday. Life is good

Thanks for the reminder. I have not made that receipe for a long time.

Kevin just needs to come up with a single version since I should not be drinking a whole batch by myself.

Wow... and I usually end up converting it to a double batch (what does that say about ME???) ... just made some last week... had to break in the new patio furniture, AND the new blender.

The new Landshark Lager is great for those margaritas... especially with the Margaritaville Lime Tequila! Mmmmm!!!!

Back from Disneyland....what fun we had! Had the first mini-meet for the Panama Canal cruise with another family.
But first.......I couldn't get logged in the whole time I was gone and wanted to say:


HAPPY (belated ) BIRTHDAY MARK!!!

HAPPY (belated ) BIRTHDAY MARY!!!

 

[Dancind]

Jim, I think that would be doable. Put all the ingredients except the ice in a blender, blend, and pour half of it into a jar. Freeze the jar for later, add ice and blend again. That would work, wouldn't it? I guess Mike doesn't drink margaritas?

Yes, Happy Belated Birthday, Mark & Mary! Sorry we missed it!

Hi Stacey, how was the weather and crowds?

Hi Stacey, how was the weather and crowds?

The weather was more perfect than what we could have asked for! Light jacket and jeans at night, shorts & t's during the day...not too hot, not at all cold. Much different than freezing like last year. In fact, my face is sunburned (yes, dummy me!).

The crowds were great on Thursday, Friday and even Saturday.....very manageable. Sunday (as expected) was a MADHOUSE! Worse than I have ever seen at any park, at any time.

How did Lisa's meet go?

Thanks for the prayers and pixie dust. She had a very nice meet and ended up 3rd in the State for the All Around. She was 2nd on the Floor, 3rd on the Beam, 4th on the Bars, and 8th on the Vault. Her best friend, Bugs, did fabulous and won the All Around (she also took first on vault and floor).

Now it is back to the gym to prepare for Regionals April 19-22 in Mississippi.
