Well, it has settled down.  Had a call and they are over half way home, so they are beyond the point of return&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />MaryLou, That&#39;s a real bummer.  Roe got called into LV  last year and sat around for two days then dismissed.  Since I&#39;m over 70, they consider me too senile to serve on a Jury.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />   Actually I&#39;ve never been selected since I was a Federal Agent and a Commissioner of Police for awhile in Illinois.  Anyone who has carried a badge is excused.  They know we have a &quot;hang &#39;em all&quot; attitude.<br /><br />Still very, very hot here with no break in sight.  Weive spent most of today making phone calls and writing letters to get our HMO off the dime so we can get Roe up to Palo Alto for here treatments.  It&#39;s kinda like bouncing off a rubber wall&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> <br /><br />Joey:  Your trip up north sounds great.  Did you drive up or fly?  I&#39;d love to get up there if Roe really does have to spend eight weeks or so in Palo Alto.  <br /><br />Later,<br /><br /><br /><br />
