When tuners have a problem with their wrist planks, isn't that capstan trouble? In mayan way of thinking, all of this must come to an end.
Jerry, just remember. As of tomorrow, I'll be seven hours ahead of you and I ain't gonna let ya forget it!

I received this in my email today.......heartwarming to say the least. GP IF THIS DOESN'T PUT YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT...
a little happiness and a smile in light of the past week's horror
Had to share this one. Yellow Lab with a little Downs Syndrome boy who has likely never seen a dog up close before.
The dog is so gentle & keeps trying to engage the child. What a beautiful animal! If you only see one e-mail this week - hope this is the one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA8VJh0UJtgHere is the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHHDKvuJFSA

The "For Lease Navidad" is a hoot! For some reason it took me a few seconds to understand the point, ... but it was worth the wait.

Nope. Only a week this time. Hoping for a month or so next year. It never turns out the way I'd like for it to turn out. I'm to busy to be away for to long.

You can say that again! The weather down there was lovely. We swim in the ocean on the Atlantic side for four days in a row. The waves were so nice that we could ride them with a boogie board which I did for about two hours. Or we can ride the waves body surfing. I love doing that. I'm 56 years old, my two sons are 22 and 25, but, I lasted longer than they did. They tired out before me. Good thing too because I was tired when they quit. Exhausted is more like it! But it wasn't long And I was back out doing it again. What fun!

We were on Cocoa Beach. The water was fine there. Lots of people swimming with the sharks.

If you think the Atlantic is cold this time of the year, you should try around here in the summer!
