I have been known to cover one eye with my hand a lot. Along with the references to the Captain being the perfect man......doesn't talk back, he tells me how great looking I am, never complains when I gain weight..........

We usually don't buy any alcohol on the cruise because we don't want to carry it home. However, my MIL does and she says it is a great deal (you know then we just carry hers home )

Heather- your family looks great. When Kristin first said medieval times I was thinking of something else. In Carver Ma every August/September they have "King Richard's fair". I don't like to go. There is no silverware so everyone eats all this messy food outside with their hands. It's always hot and crowded with people dressed in full costume (visitors included). Lots of people do love it!
We also have the Medieval Manner in Boston. I think this more like what you did. It's an interactive dinner show. The only reason I don't go is because the "court jesters" or the "King" can call you up or out or can choose any manner to embarrass you in front of the "court". I'm just not brave enough. I even sit in the back at comedy shows. Can you say wimp? Sometimes that can be me! I'm glad you had fun. The picture is really cute.

 

[kritter]

Hope everyone had a fun day and relaxed...We hung by the pool..that is finally looking better...

Does anyone have any pcitures from the holiday weekend that they want to share????

 

[princessh]

The show was the best! We took Timmy with us and he had a blast. Tim is really into music, so we go to several concerts a year (most he gets free from work as they sponsor a local venue) and I have to say this was one of the best concerts I ever attended! We have seen them once before and they were great both times. It amazes me that after all these years they can still hit those notes!

It was like a interactive dinner show. You have a knight to cheer for. They do all sorts of sword fighting and jousting. It was really neat. Contrary to the look on Jacob's face, the kids both had a great time. Jacob keeps asking to go back again!

 

[captaincrash]

I hope you dont' get into trouble with the wife for posting her picture, does she follow this thread at all????

Well... my caption did say "worlds greatest Mom!"... and she is wacked with a fever and sinus pain since wednesday. SO - I did show her and she gave me a sweet smile... no kiss...or hug. Nothing. Just the smile. I guess that is what happens after 22.5 years with your "best friend". I had been hoping for a little more of a reaction...

And no - as far as I know she almost never reads this thread... as if she did she would probably have stern words for me when she notices I was well over a thousand postings....!!!!! Plus more then a few hundred on this thread alone. PLUS she knows about my other wandering internet interests elsewhere on the web! I have a passion for phtography - so I'm always looking at things about photgraphy - computer processing techniques - equipment test reports and such .... plus ebay browsing. HECK... what else can I do when it's late at nite or in the early morning with everyone asleep and not in their offices????


and....

Hey... I missed that ... we've been to some of their concets --- I had not noticed that they were still touring. I should look up their concert tour schedule! And this quote is from Wickipedia:

Depeche Mode is an electronic music band from the town of Basildon, England, founded in 1980. They have been one of the longest-lived and most successful bands to have emerged during the New Wave and New Romantic era, though they are more akin to what was known as the 'Futurist' scene; many of their videos have been heavily rotated on MTV. As of 2006, it is estimated that Depeche Mode has sold over 72 million albums worldwide. They have influenced many of today's popular recording artists, in part due to their innovative work, recording techniques and use of sampling. In their home country, the UK, they are still thought of by some as an "Eighties band". Though massively influential in the modern electronic dance scene, they remain in the alternative genre.

The three current members of Depeche Mode are:

Martin Gore (primary songwriting, vocals, guitars, keyboards)
David Gahan (lead vocals, recent songwriting)
Andrew Fletcher (keyboards)
Former members include:

Alan Wilder (production, keyboards, drums, vocals, occasional songwriting) from 1982 to 1995.
Vince Clarke (primary songwriting, keyboards), from 1980 to 1981.

And.... I thought that was pretty entertaining ... a collector of hobbies... I wish that were MY state of mind sometimes....

15) What is your favorite hobby / passion / pastime? I'm a collector. I collect hobbies

Maybe I should follow your lead and start on collecting more hobbies??? I figure I'll live a little longer if I can take your approach to a favorite pastime with your hobbies!!!!

AND on another note - my DD participitated in her first swim meet yesterday. She came in dead last in one event against the 6 year olds 2nd to last in the other event she swam in against the 6 year olds. It seems all of the 5 year olds in the other heats also came in dead last. It's tough I guess as the 5 year olds have had 2 weeks of training and lessons while the6 year olds have had a whole season plus 20% greater age for size and strength. Sigh... So I was sooo happy to have just seen her make it across without stopping and emerging in great competitive spirits. She was totally unconcerned about how she placed. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

AND last nite... she developed a fever. Today she had it continue. SO - my spouse is guarded about my taking her to the Anime Expo tomorrow. We have an award ribbon presentation for her doing the race (fever or none) and then I'm planning on doping her with Ibuprofen and taking her to the Anime convention ... in full costume. So far - Alicia is just sort of looking at me over this with a wary level stare and warning me not to let her over exert herself. I think I'm being a nut about this.

So - we'll soon see if my actions were a huge mistake - or I give in and NOT go - as I cannot go without her as she was so looking forward to going in her costume - it would be sort of unfair for me to go without her.

Sigh.... TTFN!

 

[kritter]

Tom,

Wow sound liek you have your hands full right now a sick daughter and a sick wife nothing can be worse than two sick women...

Kristin
