WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 16

[katypop]

It was a FANTASTIC show!!!! I kept telling myself I couldn't believe I was at a show with both Mandy Patinkin AND Patti Lupone...

They sang together and also solo for almost 3 hours with the only accompanment of a pianist and a basist... WHAT talent they all had... Packed house... and they got SEVERAL standing O's... I'm so glad I went...

I'm glad you had such a great night

Woohoo!! Checked in online for both flights tomorrow. Packed and 2 of the 3 bags locked. Legs defuzzed and hair washed. Lasst minute washing is in the dryer. Sitting here now with a cappuccino to relax. Just last minute things now. Will be setting off in 3 hours.

We will have internet access for all but the week of the cruise. Did I mention we are cruising!!! So, I will be checking in and checking up on all your antics!! Unfortunately because I don't farm, ranch or look after fish or an island any more we don't need 2 computers, so I will have to wrestle John's out of his hands!!

Marilyn and John, have a fantastic trip

I'm up early to prepare for my three way conference call this morning.

Yes, friends and neighbors, for the first time in recorded history our company is including a pool of funds for the sales assistants in their current sales incentive/bonus program. If we make the Olympic "budget" I stand to receive $500. If we only get to 80%, I'd get $400, etc. Currently we're at 85%

.

Great timing for a bonus! Happy planning!

But did he say the line at the end????????? When I went to see him, bubba said "you know he's not going to say the line" But he did.

You mean "THE" line?

Conference call done....no off to see "An Education" with Peg!

steeridge....cave...bottom of the boat....

We ALWAYS cruise in steerage. We find it a broadening experience.

 

[Tink rules]

Marilyn,

You travel almost as much as Betty Windsor.

Does John mind walking 2 steps behind you? And what DO you carry in that purse???

Have a fabulous trip, Marilyn and John!!!! ​

Funny how John and Marilyn look SO much like Mickey and Minnie...

I heard yesterday that there is some sort of tournament going on today?

Ping Pong... I'm sure it's on ESPN...

That's great news about the bonus (I'm sending you an email)

hey... I thought you said you were having a quiet day today??? (Liar!!! ) )

But did he say the line at the end????????? When I went to see him, bubba said "you know he's not going to say the line" But he did.

There was such a roar of applause at the end he could have been reciting the Alphabet and we would have loved it!!!

Yeah, but your steerage is usually on a higher deck...

For those of you not on Facebook. Sukie posted his latest entry to his blog this morning:

So, I am on my own today. Sukie is working afternoon/evening.

Oh what, oh what to do with myself?

I am taking a little jaunt up to Evanston to a camera store to get myself some accessories.

I find that a basic black camera can be very versatile if dressed up with the right accessories.

I suppose I could always telephone some redheaded tart I know, but the problem you with that is that every time I speak to her, I wind up booking another cruise.

 

[Tink rules]

Take Mrs. F out for a run... and when you get through a 1/2 gallon of gas (or get to Nebraska...) turn around and come back...

Call the redheaded tart's redheaded sibling and take her to dinner!

....when she found out you and Sukie booked, she said "I'm in!".

Ours was September. We just missed you.

You'll be platinum for 2011 cruising too....same as us. Is the Oct 2010 three day your last gold sailing? It will be our last.

No - hopefuly our November cruise will be number 10. We need to get 2 others booked before then (3 nights with FL res rates hopefully!)

Oops!

We had the unfound joy of making two trips to the Old Orchard Mall in Skokie today. That's more trips that we made in the last 6 months of 2009.

Sukie's iMac started acting up again. This was after I tried what the tech suggested I do. It was worth a shot, but it didn't work.

This time I also had screen shots.

So, I made another appointment at the Apple Store, which turned out to be 5:00 pm. We loaded Sukie's iMac back in the car and drove back out there.

This time I had a different tech, showed him the screen shots and this time, the crafty iMac which was as good as gold with the first tech in the morning, froze on the second tech in the afternoon.

The diagnosis is that something is wrong with the logic board, and so it will be replaced.

This is good news and I'm glad we acted quickly in light of there being only 41 days left on the Applecare agreement.

We're hoping that Sukie will get his iMac back next weekend, so that our house and computer routines can return to normal.

Bummer to have to make 2 trips, but good that it got figured out. Even better that it's still under Applecare.

Oh goody, a storm is coming. I will start tomorrow and be concentrated in northeast Illinois ... now where is it we live!

We are supposed to get 8 to 10 inches with even higher accumulations near the lake. Do you suppose they mean that great body of water about 20 blocks east of Eastwood Manor?

Legs defuzzed.....that cracked me up!

Have a wonderful time! Glad you'll still be able to post most of the time.

Ours is supposed to start Tuesday morning. I think I can get excited because usually when the weather guy starts talking about a storm more than 3 days in advance (they started talking about it on Friday), it usually does indeed come. They just said up to 12 inches with a good chance of even more. SNOW DAY WEDNESDAY!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
