Walker: Nigerian Scamstress? Part II
Of no great surprise, Mrs. Mary Walker "well noting" my reply (but not understanding a word of it), responded affirmatively, even eagerly, thus setting the stage for the furtherance of her efforts to give me the business.
Uh huh.
Here is her reply to my initial response (as full of typos as the previous):
Dear Dr. U. R. Phulovit
Thanks for your message the content well noted. Yes, it upset us much my relation no help us though i think he was good positioned to help. after much delibration with my husban we decided to partner with you an i hope you will not betrad the trust because this is money business we need to trust each other i will love both of us to undergo mutual trust agreement so that we understand ourself (I'm all for understanding myself one day, let alone finding a woman who can, but I digress).
I have this oportunity to tell you that this transaction must be undertopmost secresy (under WHAT?) and confidential because as you know this is my last hope in life (oh sure, play the sympathy card). you may be away that our government does not care for civil servant hear in nigeran that is the more reason we use every opportunity we have hear in our country.
My regard to your famly.
My next salvo:
Ma'am: it is well that you have properly discussed this effort to give me the business with your dominated other, and come to agreement on proceeding with your effort. I am gratified to know that you are one in this.
As for trust, I have no doubt that I can trust in your desire to give me the business thoroughly, and I will likewise work tirelessly, since I don't own a car. Beyond that, I will leave no stone violated to reciprocate in a manure you are richly deserving of, and obviously feel entitled to. I couldn't agree more to your entitlement in this regard.
With that said, I forward you now my promised bona fides (passport photo, above right). When you next have speaks with me, kindly provide me with an update of all that is needed from me to you in an informational manure, so that I can, in the words of a fleet captain I was once commanded by, "make it so".
By the way, I have written a tart letter to your relation (via the Texus Rangrs), excoriating him for leaving his blood kin in the lurch; that's not a thing that the Addams Family would do, let alone Cousin It. Of that I am certain.
Dr. U. R. Phulovit
Next up: Part III and I did WHAT?

So I was looking through sites, and I realized that a lot of the teams aren't referred to by their name, they are referred to by nicknames.
Some of these names were easy to figure out, but for some, I had no idea who they meant. And some teams seem to only be referred to by their nicknames, while some are rarely used.
And so, using the wonders that are Google, Wikipedia, and numerous blogs and news sites, I have compiled what I believe is an accurate list of nicknames for the countries that are competing at this year's World Cup.
In alphabetical order, they are:
- Argentina – Albicelestes
- Australia – Socceroos
- Brazil – Seleção, Canarinha
- Cameroon – Lions Indomptables
- Chile – La Roja
- Côte d'Ivoire – Les Éléphants
- Denmark – Danish Dynomite
- England – The Three Lions
- France – Les Bleus
- Germany – Mannschaft
- Ghana – The Black Stars
- Greece – To Piratiko
- Honduras – Los Catrachos
- Italy – Azzurri
- Japan – Blue Samurai
- Korea Republic – Taeyuk Warriors
- Mexico – El Tri
- Netherlands – Oranje
- New Zealand – All Whites, Kiwis
- Nigeria – Super Eagles
- Paraguay – Albirroja
- Portugal – Selecção das Quinas
- Serbia – Plavi
- Slovakia – Bojovni Jondovci
- South Africa – Bafana Bafana
- Spain – La Furia Roja
- Switzerland – Nati
- Uruguay – La Celeste
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any nicknames for Algeria, Korea DPR, Slovania, or the USA. If anyone knows those, feel free to let me know.
I hope this helps the next time anyone reads a news article and they don't mention the country, just the nickname.

Can't help you with which theatres are/aren't posted, I live a mile from the defunct Showcase and had been there maybe twice since it opened several years ago. Obviously I find other ways to spend/waste my money.

Nothing beats Tata-Autofin in Hyderabad! (What about other TASS in Hyd?)
Wow, I am amazed. My car is now 10 months old. Purchased from Autofin, Secunderabad. As I posted earlier, the service, the costs everything about Autofin is really great. Till date I am satisfied. They remind me of service dates, have organized at least 2 camps, did a retrofit for E-III cars and religiously follow-up for feedback at least twice for every service done. In fact for the retrofit they called me up to get a date... then took the car and after getting it done dropped it back with me. Then again called up to confirm that it has actually been done. Thereafter with a couple of weeks sent an engineer home to check it was actually done properly! In the last camp they themselves came up with the fact that the cooling is a bit low and they have tagged a note against my car history so that in the next service the AC is checked for gas levels.
Latest is that they called me up yesterday and said that they want some time from me as they want to give my car a health check up. Since I hardly have any time in the mornings they actually agreed to send the guys very early.
Today morning a team of 5 came to my residence from Autofin. They said they got all their equiments and the van they use issued yesterday night as Autofin does not open so early. They worked methodically for the next 20 minutes in which they topped up the engine oil, checked the brake fluid and coolant levels, cleaned up the Air filter, checked and topped up the battery, filled up washer fluid and also reset the sprinklers, checked the circuits with a multimeter thoroughly, inspected the axles, tie-bars, and the wheels for abnormal wear-and-tear. After doing all these they even gifted me a memento from Autofin and also gave me a Privilege pass that will fetch me discounts from them in service and spare costs. All this for no cost to me! And that too at my residence at an odd hour for them.
Amazing! Kudos to Autofin... They gotta be the best dealers for Tata. I am floored. In fact my friend who took his car from Malik Cars 2 months after I did was telling me yesterday that he is planning to switch to Autofin from next service onwards.

RF Motors in Cochin gives excellent service too. I've had nothing but good experiences from them, and recently basilmabraham took his Petra there and received the same level of great service.

Hi Satish,
I think they may not be. As concorde, Khairatabad and Malik, Himayath nagar are the only two dealers selling and servicing FIAT cars...

Satish, Autofin very much sells and services Fiat cars. Their service station is located at bowenpally cross-roads. You know Sony Dhaba? Its bang opposite to that. After Autofin the Nagpur highway begins, with a very visible skyboards and all.
By the way here is an update people. My car had a brake problem when it was 6 months after purchase which they attended to very well (I posted the experience elsewhere in the forum). Now my car underwent its 4th free service at the end of 2 years. I asked them to take care of the brakes as I felt that although it works fine there is definitely some scopes for improvement.
When the car came back after service the brakes are as they were earlier. As in, they work but then they were even before. Just that the stopping power is not equally distributed. When Tatas called me up from pune 4 days after the service I told them so. Today Autofin called me up and profusely apologized that they could not satisfy me during the service. They have promised to send in their recovery vehicle with two mechs at a place of my choice (they will call me up to confirm the place and time once they manage to find an open slot with the mechs).
I think it is just fantabulous service. I am sure if and when I buy my next vehicle, and particularly if I am in Hydbd then, a Tata will definitely figure high on my list for its A.S.S. Talk of an oxymoron. Oxymoron not for me but because of the way people go ballistic about Tata service. Also, when you see that the car is now 2 years old has covered more than 20k kms and still underwent its free service... haa haa haaaa... muuuuuhhh... I love the feeling.

That's truly a good experience with the A.S.S. guys of Tata. Zappo, this report of yours has made me rethink/change my stance when it came to the various service centers in India. Good to know that the customer is really treated like a king and it's not just a poster hanging in the customer lounge at the service center.

I know suren. In fact within Hyderabad also there exists a difference in service levels of every dealer. When I was looking for a car I visited Malik, Concorde as well as Autofin. Malik people are very glib talkers. I somehow felt that they are pretty slippery and try to avoid tricky questions. Their service station being at Tolichowki also made them a bit difficult for me.
Concorde on the other hand has that high-and-mighty attitude about themselves. Even asking them about corporate discount brought about a lecture on how Concorde was established by Tatas themselves and they are the best when it comes to Tata cars (and by extension one need not ask petty questions on discounts and stuff). By comparison the Autofin people were the ones who were most inclined to complete a deal.
The same attitude as I have discovered over the last couple of years extends to their service as well. Of course they were much newer when I bought my car (and hence eager to establish themselves). Today they are chock-a-block full with the number of customers they have. They sure fail at times. But they are immensely graceful about attending to any issue when brought to their notice. That is what is most heartening about them.

Malis Cars - My experience
I have had a very bad experience with Malik cars at Himayatnagar.
There were upteen calls before the sale of car.
On the day of the sale of the Car:
1) I was not given the Owner Manual
2) The Speedometer was not working and I had noticed after 4 days, they wanted the car for 1 day to get it sorted out. This implies the PDI was just a Crap.
3) The follow up on the RTA work was my responsibility.
4) The guys were not taking my calls in the first instance. I had to make repeated attempts. I went up the management levels to meet the GM, who appeared to have moved in recently and was empathetic to my probems.
5) The Style 1.1 SLE had no provision for Number plat fixing either on the front or on the rear side.
6) I asked for at cost for a few provisions - handles on the rear seats, like the one on the left front seat, Power windows for the rear doors. The response for discouraging.
The list just goes on and on.
I would not recommedn any of my friends to go to them. This is because, after I made a complaint at GM level, the service level is just the same.
Very Thick skined persons.......
I bought my car on Aug 22, 2007 and done so far 956 KM and is due for its first service and am wondering where to go. I am geeting a milage of 10Kmpl (!!!!) with A/C all the time in Hyderabad.
May I request for either the contact phone number of Auto fin, which seem to have provided you an excellant experience of handling the car.

Ummm... My experience with Autofin has always been with Tata cars. I do not know though how competent they are with Fiats. Yes they do sell and service these but then I rarely ever see Fiats being serviced there.
You have to book your car for service on 9949038105. Remember they are heavily loaded on almost all days. So if you book today you will probably get a date some 12-14 days down the line.

Today the scene is somewhat different. They are beeeg (I am not surprised). They have moved to a place that accomodates 3 times more vehicles for service than earlier. They do not accept vehicles for service on an adhoc basis as earlier. The service dates are always filled up at least 10-12 days in advance. So those things are gone. However the good thing is that they still listen. They still follow up after service. They still work dilligently.
As I noted on the Autocop thread, yesterday I took my car back after service.
My experience. They were supposed to have delivered it day before yesterday, evening. However the delay was because I wanted the fog lamps to work (which were not for last couple of months) and their electrician was not able to find the fault. They asked for a day and said their master electrician will come the next day and he will definitely get it back in shape. Sure enough that guy did it the next day. In the process they had to take down the whole bumper and the front grill. Go through the circuit with a toothcomb.
I thought they will charge me a bomb for the labor this time. So what happened? They did not charge me any labor at all for the fog lamp repair!!! On top of that the Invoice shows they changed a part of the wiring and a relay FOC. I asked about it (since the car is not in regular warranty any more). I was told that the service engineer decided that the wiring was faulty from the begining and so was the relay (I retrofitted the fogs, though genuine accessory) and hence they changed it FOC.
How many service stations do that? They do not do charity but where there is a genuine case they are more amenable than the rest. That is my take on Autofin.
P.S. : I also got a Rs.500 rebate as I had the rebate coupon that they dole out if you get your insurance renewed through them.

@Zappo... This is indeed great! When will people realize that being diligent and caring actually brings them more customers and better sales and word of mouth publicity. Pretty much everything they want!

Jena shared this idea months ago and I have wanted to make one since. Its using the my acrylics organizer and then I made sections inside for the different kinds of cards, and I think it turned out cute. I totally copied her use of the Stylin' papers because I have been hoarding it because it is discontinued now and never to return, but I love the pink and black. Thanks Jena as always for your darling ideas and inspiration and thank you kids for cooperating enough today for me to actually finish something and get to take pictures AND post them. What a productive day. :)
I also got to finish putting together this Just Because card kit and I really had fun doing it. I love this paper to this kit and now I have a bunch of cards made that I needed to send out. The stamp set to this cute is really cute too! See I told you I was productive.. lol.

Redout is a tribute to the old racing monsters such as F-Zero, WipeOut, Rollcage, and POD. No bollocks: get in the ship and slam that throttle.
Think you know the meaning of fast? We challenge you. From the first moment, you will feel the enormous amount of power coming from your engine. Hovering a few meters above the ground going over 800 km/h is no piece of cake. There's no racing on rails here: each input will apply a physical force to your ship. This means you will feel every turn and every twist in the track.
A sharp low-polygon style blends meshes and terrains with the latest state-of-the-art shading and lighting effects provided by the Unreal Engine 4, creating beautiful and instantly recognisable aesthetics. From dirty suburban environments, to eerie frozen landscapes, to vast desert plains, players are immersed in the melancholic, dystopian atmosphere of a semi abandoned Earth.
Every developer needs to choose how long a title needs support for. I don't think we have ever questioned our love for Redout nor we are willing to start asking ourselves when it's time to stop caring.
This is why we are at another crucial point in the history of Redout, updating the game once again for free, improving every aspect we can and providing additional content for players who are asking it.
In short, this has changed with updates 1.5.0 and 1.5.1:
- The entire game has been rebuilt for Unreal Engine 4.17.2, which has an insane amount of optimizations and improvements all over (read more here) and FMOD 1.10, which grants better audio in the game and a state-of-the-art downsampling from 5.1 to 2.0, which removes the need for a manual switch between the two audio outputs and allows us to make the game 2Gb lighter.
- Progression through the game has been updated according to community-feedback and playtesting sessions, especially in terms of wall physics and friction, which now is way more powerful at higher levels and speed.
- We put a lot of effort in optimizing the game, which now has a 15% improvement under any circumstances and in every track of the game.
- We just added the Space Exploration Pack to our collection, which adds two new environments, 10 tracks, 2 bosses, 3 liveries and 5 exclusive ship colors. Read more about it here. Also, it's 10% off for this week.
You can read more details about our progress here.
And don't forget we just hid 45 bunnies in all levels for the community to find.
Redout is currently available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC for $39.99/€39.99/£29.99, with a Nintendo Switch version to follow soon.

To whom it may concern.
I wish to inform you (the readers) that I will be discontinuing the production of content for this blog.
The reasons are many but it is apparent to me based on what I can see and the feedback I get that the return on my investment of time to write these articles does not justify the effort involved to continue.
I will leave this blog up for those of you who wish to share any existing articles, but until my personal situation changes or until I hear from a compelling number of readers who want more, I hereby tender my resignation so to speak.
Good luck in your endeavors. I hope you are able to develop the mindset of a business owner on your own.
For Small / Medium-sized Business Owners.
If you are the owner of a small to medium sized business, you have to learn how to think differently than someone who is content being an employee.
As a business owner myself, (actually I own a couple) I try to encourage those who want to own a business but are being held back by doubts, fears, and uncertainty. Maybe something I've learned will help someone else. Good luck. I'm pulling for you.

Stand Up!
|Image: graur razvan ionut / FreeDigitalPhotos.net
If there's one thing I probably hate more than anything else in this world...
It's the limp wristed, rubber spined, sideways talkin, good for nothing, flip floppin, can't make a decision if their life depended on it type of person who allows polls and popularity of ideas to dictate how they think and act on an issue.
I mean, come on!
Quit letting everyone else do your thinking for you.
Make a freakin' decision! Take a stand! Even if it's unpopular. Even if someone will say you're wrong. Even if it means you risk "offending" someone. Quit being so politically correct that you become ethically incompetent.
There's an old country song by Aaron Tippin that says "...you've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything..."
But it's true. You have to know what you stand for. You have to know what you believe in.
Those who know me, know that:
- I'm a believer in the free enterprise system.
- I'm a believer in the sanctity of marriage and that if you make a commitment to another person, that it's a commitment for life.
- I'm a believer in the value of life and, contrary to what some groups would have us think, abortion is not an option.
- I believe that there should be less government intrusion into our lives.
- I believe that our current banking and financial systems are in need of a major overhaul.
- I believe that our healthcare system in this country also in need of an overhaul, but I also believe that the infamous "Obamacare" plan is not the answer and should be repealed. (And believe me, if you knew my family's medical history you'd think that I would be one of first in line to sign up for that plan, but it goes too far in all the wrong areas and doesn't go far enough in the right areas).
- I believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the living Son of God.
- I believe that not only is it a right protected by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but I believe it is the responsibility of every citizen to own and learn how to properly use a firearm.
- I believe that it should be unlawful to sell "unsweetened" ice tea.
- I believe it's totally okay to be "random" from time to time.
Have you ever had to take a stand on an issue, even though people told you that you were wrong to do so? Have you ever changed your position, not to accommodate someone else, but because you learned new information that shifted your perspective on the issue?

Yuri on Ice episode 10 was mostly about the characters Viktor Nikiforov and Yuri Katsuki having a grand tour around Barcelona. Not only does the anime series creators boast about the accurate figure skating and pole dancing stunts, they also pride themselves in making detailed background art for several episodes.
Yuri on Ice episode 10 also paid homage to the well-known tourist spots found only in Barcelona, Spain. Thanks to some accurate pictures from Tokyo Otaku Mode, viewers can now appreciate the anime and Barcelona even more.
Recreating Real-Life Landmarks
The episode starts with Viktor narrating the episode and showing where the skaters are checked in. To our surprise, the hotel actually exists in real life and is called ?Barcelona Princess Hotel? (which they changed to ?Prince Hotel? in the episode).
First up is the scene where Phichit Chulanont takes a selfie of himself with the ?Sagrada Familia? as his background. We can also see how majestic and beautiful the architecture of the building is especially when it is lit up during the evening.
In the next panels we can see Viktor and Yuri touring around the streets of Barcelona. In this chronological order, we can spot Yuri and Viktor taking pictures in front of Sagrada Familia and eating an authentic Spanish dish called paella.
The third panel is taken on top of Arenas de Barcelona which used to be a former bullring that has been converted into a shopping mall in 2011. The exact area where they are standing is the rooftop terrace of the complex. Behind them we see the Plaza Espanya, the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Venetian Towers.
We can also see some landmarks in the scene where Yuri and Viktor just finished shopping and Yuri sits down a bench to rest. This landmark is known as Casa Batllo, which is located along the Passeig de Gracia, is considered the most luxurious shopping street in all of Barcelona.
The next scene is where we see Yuri Plisetsky being saved by Otabek Altin. They go to a place that has a high balcony. This building is known as the?Sala Hipostila? (Doric Temple). As Viktor narrates how the Russian Yuri and Otabek have something in common, there are a few areas shown in the background that resembles ?Park Guell.? Furthermore, the scene where the sun sets also shows a Barcelona landmark called ?The Hansel and Gretel gatehouses?, is located at the entrance of Park Guell.
We can also map out that the scene where Yuri is looking for a present to give to Viktor is actually the ?Fira de Santa Lucia Christmas Market? which is located in front of the famous Sagrada Familia cathedral. The cathedral is also the background art in the scene where Yuri and Viktor wore their ?promise rings.?
Also Read: Yuri On Ice Episode 10: Yuri To Perfect Quadruple Spin As Season Finale Nears?
Come to think of it, most Yuri on Ice episode 10 backgrounds are of famous landmarks of Barcelona. The anime truly paid particular attention to details to make the feel of the episode more believable.

A new Bill from the office of Senator Richard Alston, the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, is set to increase competition within the telecommunications industry. One of the specific aspects of the Telecommunications Competition Bill 2002 focuses on the accounting practices of Telstra, specifically requiring the communications company to reveal both wholesale and retail costs of a number of its services.
The accounting separation aspects of the Bill are aimed at addressing concerns within the industry regarding anti-competitive behaviour by Telstra. "These new rules will give Telstra both an incentive and an opportunity to demonstrate that it's price and non-price arrangements promote efficient competitive outcomes and do not involve unfair discrimination or price-squeeze behaviour," said Senator Alston's office in a statement released last week.
Alston's office is confident that the Bill will result in a more competitive and informed market. David Quilty, a spokesperson for the Senator's office, is quick to point out that the government's proposed accounting separation framework is not in response to any guilt on Telstra's part, but more of a preventive measure.
"The main concern is that Telstra does not treat its competitors, which access its network, equitably," said Quilty. "Telstra isn't necessarily guilty, but if it should engage in price squeezing then other carriers simply would not be able to compete."
"Telstra is also in a position where it can treat itself more favourably, by providing services - such as the repair of faults in the network - for itself before addressing the concerns of other carriers," he added. One of the aims of the Bill, said Quilty, is to establish a level playing field for all telecommunications carriers.
Other aspects of the Bill include measures to encourage investment in broadband infrastructure and other key services, the provision of better and easier access to the industry by reviewing the ACCC's arbitration process, and improving the process by which suspected anti-competitive behaviour is monitored and addressed by the ACCC.

Hebgen Lake starts out just south of here in a fairly open area. It is formed by a dam along the Madison River, and after the dam, the river goes through the Gallatin Canyon.
In 1959, a 7.5 on the Richter scale earthquake caused an enormous landslide that blocked the river downstream, trapping over 200 campers and killing 28 people. (See http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/gallatin/specialplaces/?cid=stelprdb5127785.) Here you can see how a large chunk of the mountain just slid down.
The river was blocked and formed a new lake between the dam and this landslide. The campers were trapped because the road to get in and out was blocked and water was rising because of the river being blocked. Most were able to get to higher ground, but it took a while for the forest service to rescue them and lead them out on an old unpassable road. Made me think about having to leave my motorhome and all of my belongings in such an emergency.
This graphic shows how the canyon profile was forever changed.
Anyway, this was an interesting place. I stopped at several pull-offs to look at the interpretive signs and take pictures. There is a visitor center but it is closed until May 2014.

Mentality ~ Empress
Baby pink matte
I've actually got three Mentality polishes to show you today, and I was going to put them all in one post, but I thought it got a little too much picture-wise, so I've split them up into three posts, all of which I'm going to post today.
Empress is the first one up. It's described as hot pink, but personally I think it's too pale to be called hot pink. In my world it's baby pink. The formula is really good, but it can be a bit of a challenge to apply the polish anyway because it dries up wicked fast, so you don't have many brush strokes to deal with before it's too late. I'd say four or five brushstrokes, and then time's up and you have to move on to the next nail. Talk about luxury problems, haha! Anyway, the pigmentation is good, and I used two coats for these pictures.
Here's what two coats look like:
It's a nice, calm pink that can't offend anybody.
It does clash a bit with my skin tone in my opinion, so there's no way I can wear this on its own. Not that I ever do that anyway.
So what I did was to dot with a true hot pink at the base of my nails. I used a Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish called Magenta Moves, and I made my dots various sizes, like a reverse dotted gradient. I topped it with a layer of H & M Quick Dry topcoat, and here's what my mani ended up looking like:
I used these polishes:
I have come to really like Mentality's polishes. This one isn't my favourite, but that's because it's a little too pale to slip quite into my comfort zone. I will keep it though, because it's a great base colour for nail art.
I have to make a note about the H & M Quick Dry topcoat. I have never ever experienced a topcoat that dragged so much in my nail art design. I used the lightest brush strokes ever, and it still pulled on the dots like crazy. I will keep it and use it as a regular topcoat but I won't ever use it with nail art again.

NCL Escape - Day 1
(Embarkation & Sail Away)
Off to the ship we go in the free shuttle from Miccosukee Resort & Casino. With only a 30 minute ride away, we were dropped off right in front of the port entrance. That was a bonus as there were many people at the entrance trying to get onboard and of course many people getting off the ship from the previous cruise. We arrived at 11AM and headed through security to check in.
With only a ½ hour wait, we were the first group to get onboard. As soon as we are onboard, guess who we run into? Klaus!! Klaus Lugmaier, Norwegian Cruise Line's top hotel director, is an expert when it comes to launching new ships for the line. He is the head of every ship on NCL and their functionality. He was in the middle of doing some training but it was a real treat to see him.
Then we we went to the internet café. Couple of bargains here but glad we waiting to purchase it onboard. You have the opportunity, which is not offered on NCL's "My NCL" log in page, to get the Unlimited Internet Package for $209! Well worth it for a 7 day cruise and did I say "unlimited?" You can be on the internet, forget to log off, etc and not get charged!
Next stop, visiting the different public areas. Even though most are not opened yet, you have the opportunity to explore the ship, visit different public areas and make reservations for dinner. Perfect opportunity if you didn't already pre arrange them. After the visit to the public areas, we went to Jimmy Buffett's Margaretville to try a famous Margarita! Margaritaville is a song that Jimmy Buffet wrote back in 1977. This song was written about a drink Buffett discovered at Lung's Cocina del Sur restaurant on Anderson Lane in Austin, Texas, and the first huge surge of tourists who descended on Key West, Florida around that time. In the United States "Margaritaville" reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and Even though it was a little pricy, it's a nice experience to just get one drink. Then it was off to the Garden Café to have some lunch. I love the Garden Café as the food is fresh, drinks are abound and the mango iced tea is refreshing.
Next to the assigned Munster station for the drill. This is mandatory and everyone who is a passenger, including crew, must attend.
After that, we headed to the cabin and had some nice surprises awaiting us. Bon Voyage celebration decorations in our room with a cake! Ok, diet is out the window at this point but well worth it!
As the day went on, you get the "Freestyle Daily Schedule" to check out all the activities that are onboard and plan your schedule ahead of time. Don't worry though. I will post the schedules they had per day so that you can read them over should you be on this cruise at some point.
Since there was so much to do and see the first day that if you have never been on a cruise, it can be a little overwhelming. Since this was my 72 cruise and JC's very 1st one, it was a great opportunity to show him all that the cruise ship and cruising has to offer. Plus, he has a personal tour guide!
The majority of our day after was going to poolside for the sail away party, hitting the casino, eating dinner at O'Sheehans and just having fun!
You meet so many great people and get to interact with the staff and find out some great information and learn something new every time, even for the seasoned cruiser.
The Welcome Aboard Variety Show at night is a must on your first day onboard. That is a great show to see. The show not only features all the ships crew but you get a taste of every show onboard, for example the Brat Pack, After Midnight, and special guest Brenda Braxton! A really great event, so don't miss out on that! Then, before you go to bed, make sure you check the Freestyle Daily Schedule to plan what you will do the next day.
It's boring on a cruise??? I think not….
Please feel free to comment as I would love to hear from you. Tune in for day two of our cruise on Norwegian's newest ship the Escape!
LIVE feed!

At the time the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was hosting the media at the party's Kokomlemle office, Accra, to respond to President John Mahama's political tirades, suspended National Chairman Paul Afoko was busily challenging what in his opinion were flagrant breaches of the party's Constitution.
He addressed himself as chairman of the party, although he is unable to convene National Executive meetings or even come to the office at the party headquarters.
There was heavy police presence at the venue of the press conference as he sulked over the indefinite suspension slapped on him by the party.
So prominent was the security cover that it prompted a journalist to ask how a suspended party chairman could organise such state security agents against the backdrop of the cost of using the venue for the media briefing.
Expectedly, Mr Afoko refused to answer the question.
He announced that he would go to court for an interpretation of the party's Constitution, having exhausted all the available channels in the political grouping to quash the 'step aside' action slapped on him.
He said he was turning to the court of law 'before these series of illegalities affect our fortunes in the 2016 elections.'
Continuing, he said 'This I seek to do not for Paul Awentami Afoko but in the interest of the party. This I seek to do for the protection of all party members and elected officers including the presidential candidate and for the preservation of our party's integrity and domestic credentials.'
The suspended chairman warned that 'if we allow our party to be ridiculed and bastardised the way some people seek to do, then we will have a party without a soul.'
Mr Paul Afoko, who at a point in his delivery almost broke down in tears, said the National Executive Committee sitting on October 23, 2015 was an illegality, having ignored the party's due process on the suspension or removal of an elected person from office.
He quoted lavishly portions of the party's Constitution to substantiate his claim when he for instance explained that 'The disciplinary committee, without any referral from the National Council, illegally invoked its own jurisdiction. What makes this worse is that some members of the Council of Elders from which the complaint emanated against me are also members of the Disciplinary Committee.'
Turning to another supposed breach, he said 'In further breach, the 1st Vice Chairman went ahead and convened another illegal National Council meeting when according to the Constitution and convention, I should convene and recluse myself where the matters concern me.'
Paul Afoko was supported at the high table by the 3rd Vice Chairman of the party, Sammy Crabbe and Daavi Ama, a former National Treasurer.
NPP Dismayed
The NPP, in a statement, expressed dismay that Paul Afoko had held a press conference raising issues which are currently before a court of competent jurisdiction.
A statement issued by the party's Director of Communications, Nana Akomea, shortly after Paul Afoko's press confab, said 'The party is therefore surprised that Mr Afoko will canvas, at his press conference, those same issues before the courts.'
The party has therefore urged all officials and communicators to desist from speaking on these matters on the airwaves, as they are now matters before the court.
Mr Afoko, the NPP observed, 'made reference to these court matters when he issued a message on Monday, 2nd November, 2015 to members of the NPP National Council urging them to stay away from National Council meeting on the basis of this court action.'
The aforementioned case was brought before the court by Tweneboa Kodua and two others – lawyers representing Mr Afoko.

DC Music Stuff
Fort Reno closed up shop for the summer with a terrific show by Metropolitan. Possibly the best set I've seen them play. I'm digging their new disc more and more every time I play it. Punchy, melodic, rockin' music. Judging by the number of folks up and dancing with reckless abandon, I'd say it's quite popular with the kids too.
There are a couple of DC-related video things coming up over labor day weekend.
First up, on Sept. 5 at The Black Cat, Positive Force DC is presenting something they're billing as "Vintage DC Punk Video Night". It's a benefit for Jobs With Justice. I'm not sure what this includes, but it sounds promising. Positive Force has been putting on shows since I was a kid. There could be some killer footage here. I need to find out more about this. For $5, I'm sure it's gonna be worth it, no matter what they're showing.
One Sept. 6, AFI is giving you another chance to catch "930 F Street," the documentary that's basically 87 minutes of reminiscing about the old 9:30 Club. If nothing else, you should go to check out the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring. It's an awesome theater. And don't complain about it being in the 'burbs. It's walking distance from the Silver Spring Metro.
And while we're reminiscing of the DC punk of yore, Black Market Baby is slated to have a new compilation out on Dr. Strange Records sometime this fall. It's gonna be called Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda. No track listing, but it's supposed to be a mix of some of their more popular songs, along with some rare and unreleased material. BMB CDs aren't that easy to come by and if you try to pick up their Senseless Offerings LP on eBay, you'd better be ready to plunk down a cool $100 or so. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this one. Check out some sound clips here.

Michigan's "One Court of Justice"
Michigan's concept of "One Court of Justice" was introduced in 1963 by Article VI, Section 1 of the Michigan Constitution. Under this principle the judicial system functions as an integrated unit consisting of one supreme court, one court of appeals, one trial court (known as the circuit court), and several trial courts of limited jurisdiction.
Each court performs a certain role within the judicial system according to the jurisdiction given to it by the Michigan Legislature. This jurisdiction is outlined in various Michigan statutes. In addition to establishing "One Court of Justice", the Michigan Constitution authorized the appointment of a state court administrator to assist courts with administrative duties and tasks.
Organizational Structure
The Otsego County Judicial System is comprised of three different constitutional or statutory courts. These courts are the 46th Circuit Court, the 87-A District Court and the Otsego County Probate Court. The Michigan Supreme Court appoints a chief judge in each of these courts who is empowered to exercise administrative authority over court staff and court operations of the respective court.
With the approval from the Michigan Supreme Court, all of the elected judges serving Otsego County entered into an agreement called a Concurrent Jurisdiction Plan, whereby the entire judicial system operates as a unified trial court within Otsego County. This merged court system results in a more efficient use of judges and court personnel, simplifies case handling, reduces repetition, provides for better service to the citizens in Otsego County, continues to curtail the rising costs of the judicial system where practical, and results in a reduction of receivables due the court.
Judges are elected for six-year terms and judicial workloads are based on time, event and location. With the exception of centralized administration, court personnel are generally assigned to a specific division. However, based on needs, staff is transferred between divisions as necessary at the direction of court administration.
One court administrator is appointed to assist the three chief judges with all administrative matters of the judicial system. The court administrator meets regularly with all judges to discuss and review policies, goals and objectives of the unified trial court, analyze problems, and to seek solutions to challenges when needed. To assist the court and provide a conduit for communications between the courts and county commissioners, the court administrator meets regularly with commissioners to discuss issues. The court administrator regularly meets with staff to provide updates on changes in laws, court procedures and to keep staff informed of events that affect the Otsego County Judicial System.
Court policies, procedures and rules are governed by one of the following authorities: Federal and Michigan Constitutions, Federal or Michigan Statutes, Michigan Court Rules, Michigan Supreme Court Administrative Orders, directives from the State Court Administrator's Office, directives from state regulatory agencies, or local directives from the Chief Judges.
Budget Process
The Otsego County Judicial System is funded from a variety of sources. For general court operations a unified general fund court budget is approved for revenues and expenditures of the courts. In matters dealing with juvenile justice a separate Child Care Fund Budget is approved. Fro account monitoring purposes, a separate Friend of the Court budget is approved since some expenses are reimbursed (approximately 66%) by the State of Michigan based on a formula measuring child support collections state-wide. In addition there is a 215 Fund budget to offset some expenses for Friend of the Court operations.
Other budgets encompass expenses for jury boards, law libraries, and various grants the court receives to run a Drug Court. All revenues collected by the Trial Court are deposited with the county treasurer. Revenues from the court are generated through various fees assessed for clerical filings, criminal or traffic judgments, and reimbursements from the State or from various grants. The State pays the salary of the judges. Court staff is classified on an employee classification system established by the State Court Administrative Office. Depending on the staff position and funding source, some salaries and benefits are reimbursed from 16.5% to 100% back to the funding unit.

This is nothing like my experience in college. I was wondering if it was all fictionalized, but apparently it rings true to some of you.
The only thing that seemed reasonable to me were the parents. If they're told their daughter needs to run fast and lose 10 pounds to keep her $40k/yr scholarship, I could see why they might pressure her to do so.
As far as eating disorders are concerned, I agree it's better to talk to the person. Talking to the coach makes it sound like she's trying to take her teammate down a peg. I also don't understand why she would try to change rooms -- the first thing I would do is yell at the roommate for leaving the bathroom a mess!
And finally, as far as rich kids partying -- at first I was pissed off about this myself when I got to college, but I basically realized that these people are helping me get good grades -- someone needs to be at the bottom of the curve. Their partying doesn't hurt me, so why should I care?

DD: Sure is, my sweet nookie wookie, delicious XXXXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXXXXXX, my. . .
HBB: Ohhhh, babay!
DD: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [A.S.S.: Following five minutes of conversation have been redacted as inadmissible pillow talk and not related to case.] The ball and chain has left for work and I got ahold of the cell for a few, and I simply had to chat with you.
HBB: Oh thank goodness. I have been longing for your call. Our short sojourn in Miami at the café just wasn't enough to satisfy me.
DD: You will never know the amount of subterfuge I underwent to get some time alone. Ha! She thought she had left me safe in the hotel room. Silly woman, doesn't she know that there is no lock beyond my powers! And I would not be denied being with you.
HBB: I still think Mama might have seen that I was gone and Chickadee is very suspicious. She kept asking about the long, wispy hairs that were caught in my tiara the other night. Good thing there was a pageant going on near that silly nerd convention. What is up with that?
DD: My SXXXX loves those things. She gets all excited and jittery at the mention of Star Trek and Battlestar Gallactica and anything scientificky. She practically was XXXXXXX herself when she found out she might have a chance to have a picture taken with George Takei. And let's not even talk about the Power Rangers. It was pink this, and yellow that ALL NIGHT LONG! About the only thing that would have excited her more is if Neil deGrasse Tyson asked her out. She is such a science hussy. I mean, if David Hasselhoff called, she would XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in the back seat of KITT.
HBB: It's such a shame. She really should be watching pageants.
DD: I know it! I have to sneak all the time to catch your latest episode. It makes my pine for your XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Oh my XXXXXXXXXXXXX little XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
HBB: [Inaudible recording, but sounding something like cooing].
DD: Plus she hangs out with those Tejada characters whenever she is down there. Downright subversives, I tell you. Did you know that XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and apparently XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX when XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. It is positively aberrant.
HBB: You wouldn't hear of that stuff in Georgia, I tell ya!
DD: The trip down was terrible. A long layover in D.C. Made even worse because I was afraid we would not be able to consummate our rendezvous.
HBB: Heavens no! I'd have crawled all the way to Washington to be with you, my furry ball of fun.
DD: I mean, I love sitting in her lap, but with that plastic in the way. . .no fun!
HBB: Stop it! Right now. You know I don't like hearing about her. She just doesn't understand our love.
DD: I know. But you have to forgive her. She has always been good to me, except when she posts unflattering pictures of me. . .and she doesn't even give me a kickback on the profits.
HBB: Shame! But it's ok, cause I have enough money for us to escape to Brazil and live out or lives on the beach.
DD: Blame it on Rio. You are my Wild Orchid. My Samba Princess.
HBB: [Inaudible recording, but sounding something like cooing].
DD: SXXXX is a bit naïve. I've been sneaking out for years. I mean, why the heck does she think I sleep all the time when I am there, and that I sometimes look dazed and confused? I still remember that smoky jazz café, when you came sauntering in on the arm of XXXXXX XXXXXX. But one look from you, and I knew it was a match made in heaven.
HBB: Oh, my little crumpet. My Yankee Hunk of Hirsute Happiness. I remember it well.
DD: She still doesn't know it was me scratching on those Jay Z recordings, or that I was the main filmographer for over 100 porn & MTV videos, and that Bloomberg regularly consults with me after hours.
HBB: You are such a renaissance cat.
DD: It was hell though, getting out of those cruel bonds in order to escape the shackles placed upon me by SXXXX at times, shackles of jealousy and owner-love. [A.S.S.: Contact has been made with the NYSPCA over possible violations of animal cruelty laws.]
HBB: I rubbed away the pain.
DD: Yes, you did. Those fingers were so nice.
HBB: And that raspy tongue just XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and awakened every XXXXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
DD: And she left me alone for really long stretches. She said she was out with her friends, but I know it was LeBron. He wins a couple of championships and he thinks he's Michael! Or even Kobe. He needs to get over himself, or he'll be right back in Cleveland.
HBB: He was at Florida Con too!
DD: A geek of the highest maginitude.
HBB: My gosh, I didn't know sports and nerdiness mixed.
DD: I still can't fathom her love of sports.
HBB: Oh my. I need to take her to a Tupperware party.
DD: And recently she has been reading some poems by this nefarious Jotenko. He must be some Russian communist spy passing himself off as a member of the literati. I am on to him. I think I might know who he is.
HBB: He does not have long to live then.
DD: I'll bury him so deeply the search for Jimmie Hoffa will look like kids in a sandbox.
HBB: Did you like the lobster and caviar and fresh catnip I sent?
DD: Indeed I did. SXXXX simply does not understand my love of fine dining and extravagance. Do you remember that party at Brad and Angelina's? Class all the way. Especially the afterparty.
HBB: Heeeeeeehehehehehehe. I thought you'd never get my XXXXX off.
DD: It was chewy, but I prevailed.
HBB: Yes you did! [Cooing] Angelina was so kind to lend me one of hers.
DD: So, when will I see you again, my little peach cobbler?
HBB: I think there are some pageants in the Big Apple soon. Will you be able to sneak out.
DD: No problem, snookums.
HBB: Oh, my hero.
DD: I want to speak with your writers. I have a few ideas of how we can best use your talents.
HBB: They just don't know my marketability.
DD: Oh, I think I hear someone coming in. SXXXX must be taking another half day. I've gotta go.
DD: You know it babe! See ya soon.

Wow, Rie! Sorry about the fight and the lousy flight, but the rest sounds fun. I hope you're taking some time to rest now, though. Crits can wait a little while.

Before even attempting to help you, it would be good to know what EVERYTHING is you have tried before. Or give us a link to that said thread.
3. Re: Installing FlashPlayer 11......"failed to register"pwillener Oct 18, 2011 2:18 AM (in response to PerthHelp)
I see now; the SubInACL created massive errors.
The only thing I can suggest is to try running SubInACL again, with 'Run as Administrator'. This is actually a higher privilege that just running it under a user with Admin rights.
4. Re: Installing FlashPlayer 11......"failed to register"PerthHelp Oct 18, 2011 3:21 PM (in response to pwillener)
There is only two users on this computer and they are both Administrators.
I'll have to try again when I have some time (away from work that is)

From a recent news feed...Families of our nation's fighting forces are struggling much more against the scourge of foreclosures. The rate of foreclosures in towns where soldiers and sailors live is increasing at nearly four times the pace of the national average. That's more than during the Vietnam War, the Korean War and World War II, according to data from Realtytrac.com.
Realtytrac.com says foreclosure filings in 10 towns and cities within 10 miles of military facilities, rose by an average 217 percent from January through April this year, compared to last year. Nationwide, the overall rate during the same period was only 59 percent.
The biggest surge was in Columbia, South Carolina, home to Fort Jackson, where the Army trains recruits for combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. In Columbia, properties in some stage of foreclosure rose a whopping 492 percent from a year earlier. The second-biggest strike against homeownership was a 414 percent increase in foreclosures in Woodbridge, Virginia, next to the historic Marine Corps Base Quantico.
Foreclosure filings were up 300 percent in the cities around the Norfolk, Virginia Naval Base and the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base near Oceanside, California, RealtyTrac said. Foreclosures have more than doubled in Havelock, North Carolina, site of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Other military base cities experiencing foreclosure rates above 100 percent include Carlsbad and Barstow, California and Columbus, Georgia.
The Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act protects soldiers and sailors from losing homes for nonpayment of mortgages only while on active duty and for 90 days after they return home.
However, military families were frequently targeted as subprime mortgage customers during the housing boom because of their frequent moves, frequent calls to duty, and low military pay, making them more likely to have weak credit application credentials.
However, military families were frequently targeted as subprime mortgage customers during the housing boom because of their frequent moves, frequent calls to duty, and low military pay, making them more likely to have weak credit application credentials.
I'm not sure if the RealtyTrac people capture the full extent of the damage that being at war has caused int he housing market, because a good number of the men and women serving in the two war zones are now being drawn from the Reserves and National Guard. There are certainly many stories about what happens when a National Guardsman gets called up to serve in Iraq and has to leave his job and family behind. Some companies (but very few) make up the difference between the service pay and the pay that the employee would normally get, while they are on active duty. Otherwise, it's tough for the family that's left behind to cope sometimes and many Guardsmen and reservist may return to pre-foreclosure situations, with maxed out credit cards and delayed or non-payments on the house.

Away from Politics.....I'm about sick up to Here.
In case you didn't know, both Wollfie the Elder,(formerly known as Bigger Wollfie), and my Dragn are Percussionists...fancy word for drummers. He being the "Quad" player with the High School marching band, and She being the Band Director at the local middle school.
Yup.....she was Wollfie the Biggers teacher two years ago......you'd almost think I planned it....nope. But, anyway, I ran into this and thought they'd get a kick out of it....I know I giggled almost as much as the musicians in the video.
Thus, I give you: Sweet Georgia Brown with Tractor on Percussion:
Heh.....replaced by fifty year old technology.....who'd a thunk?

Well, what do you think about a sea? Do you like it? Is it wonderful for you? Okay, if you like a sea very much and even want it to be a part of your home design, so it is very suitable for you who love this design because the furniture which is created by Caroti can be an appropriate choice for you. Then, if you use the products of this collection, you are able to make cool sea themed rooms. On the other hand, there are also excellent solutions for your home office, a living room and some bedrooms. Thus, we think that it is very useful for you, right?
In relation to this kind of bedroom, you are allowed to make your kids, including girls and boys, very happy and change their room into wonderful world of pirates and brave captains. It is so amazing, isn't it? By the way, especially for kids, it is provided single beds which are as ergonomic bunk beds. After that, it is better for you to know that all of those beds are decorated by various sea themed items.
In order to make it clearer, we have an example. You are able to find a luxury bed with integrated ship wheel. Then, this bed can also be combined with other attractive furniture and even it can help you to manage a chic bedroom for boys. On the other hand, if you have a want to design a bedroom for girls using some sea themed ideas, you are suggested to give your attention to very delicate and beautiful furniture set which is completed with a canopy bed.
For the additional information, the bed in this kind of bedroom uses a unique style. Usually, it uses ship style for the bed itself also the headboard of it. If you see it directly, of course you will be very interested in this design, especially your children. You can prove it!

Off the Ferry and Into the Woods
Day 32, July 25, 2008-331 miles. Off the boat--at last! While it was good at first, and never was bad, it got old. Maybe a cruise with someone special to keep you warm at night, or maybe with more on-board things to do it might have been less boring. But I did get bored looking at mountain after mountain.
The ship docked on-time at 7am AK time. The instant we hit the ground, the time changed to Pacific time, so in reality, we docked at 8am. Having been up since 5:00, drinking coffee and eating a big breakfast, I was ready to get into the hold and get the bike untied and pack the bike. It felt good taking the hold-down straps off the bike and getting it ready to go.
The bikes worked their way out of the hold as they were able. Since space was tight, and since they were in two columns, and since they had to be backed out of the space, it was not bad getting them freed. Everyone got off the boat with no mishap.
We had arranged for all the bikes to gather at the top of the parking area for some pics and goodbyes. Somehow we had bonded pretty well for folks who were strangers just 5 days ago. I guess the tales of adventures and the instant understanding of events helps people to "feel" what the other is describing. In any event, we had become friends in a few days.
The pics were taken, goodbyes were extended along with good wishes for safe rides, and we were off for the third leg of our adventure.
We had pre-arranged for Juan and Dick, two who were riding Vstrom 1000s and lived in the Seattle area to guide us to Ride West BMW. Dick has been considering a BMW GS Adventure bike and he wanted to ride one. So, we left as a group, got gas (cheap at $4.35 for regular), and started our journey south to Seattle.
They knew a road that ran parallel to the water, through some mountains and connected to I-5, the main artery for folks traveling north or south through the far west. The road was fun; lots of curves and elevation changes. Challenging enough to keep us awake and alert.
When we broke out of the mountainous area, the land became flat as a pancake. The topography changed much faster than in NC. Shortly we connected with I-5. South on I-5 about 60 miles, and to the dealer just a short distance from the interstate.
I went to the service desk, talked with Eric, who remembered my dilemma and had gotten the tire ordered, and went back outside to remove the wheel from the bike. It came off eaaily (BMW rear wheels on their R bikes are simple to remove. 5 lugs like a car, and it's off!)
Eric had agreed to work me in and in about 45 minutes, the new rubber was mounted and balanced, and I was ready to re-install the wheel and get on the road. No problems reinstalling the wheel, so we were ready to go about an hour after arrival. Not bad at all.
While waiting, the general manager came up to talk, and he wanted to show us some rides on a map. We went back inside and in about 15 minutes, we were amazed at all of the options we had--they have great roads out here (far west)! Too many for us to take advantage of many of them. Too bad!
So, we said goodbyes to Dick and Juan and got on I-5 for a while. We had decided to ride south and east to Mt. Ranier, just to see if we could ride on it. I had been there with friends and my ex-wife 19 years ago, so I wondered if I could remember much of it. As it turned out, I could remember some pieces, but not much.
The ride itself was great. Lots of turns and elevation changes; some places fairly challenging. We rode into the Mt. Ranier National Park at one of the accesses, renewed our annual passes to parks, and rode as far as the pavement went, to Sunrise Lodge. The ride to the Lodge was good, and even more challenging than the other roads. FUN! The RT has such good, abundant power, and terrific brakes--it's fun to ride it hard on challenging roads. These roads had lots of abrupt rises and falls in the pavement, working the bike's suspension pretty hard. Glad to have on-the-go ability to change the suspension for different road conditions. The RT is a great touring bike! I'm happy with my decision to buy it on July 30 of last year.
Because it was now getting later in the afternoon, and Gary was beginning to get low on gas, we did not do the loop to Paradise Point. Maybe another time later...
We rode south towards Carson, on the banks of the mighty Columbia River. The roads from the park to Carson were awesome. The first roads were average roads cutting through the countryside, but soon they turned into a roller-coaster ribbon of asphalt that went for about 80 miles. I can't describe them adequately, but picture a narrow road through a huge forest of Fir trees right up to the edge of the road (felt like riding through a tunnel much of the time) and winding left and right, up and down, for miles on-end. Throw in some hairpin turns, and it was a blast! The RT's suspension was tested to my limits. Leaned more than I had ever leaned on the RT, and it never failed me! Thank goodness!!
Finally, we arrived in Carson at about 8:30, found a room in the Econo-Lodge, unpacked the bikes, walked a few blocks for our exercise and dinner, and called it a night. Slept well!
Tomorrow--??? I don't know where we're going, but I believe it will be fun!
