Back from the grocery store with a whole lot of king crab for dinner tonight - I can&#39;t wait.    We had a real ice storm blow thru here this morning - at first they put schools on a 2 hour delay and then ordered them closed.  Ash was in tears because today was silly hat and silly socks day as well as the school olympics and she was running in the relay race.   Instead she will be coming over here shortly to make pictures for Poppy&#39;s b&#39;day dinner.<br /><br />Jim went into work today and received a nasty b&#39;day gift from his boss.  Word came down this morning that their entire department is being eliminated at the end of the year.  (all work is going electronic) Fortunately he doesn&#39;t really need the job and will never find one like this again (working every other week) but he really feels sorry for some of his co-workers.  Today Jim is 66 but he is at least 9 years younger than the next oldest person on the job.  Several of the men are in their early 80&#39;s so their chance of finding something else is very slim.   Well, it was fun while it lasted - maybe he can get his job back at the golf course.  <br /><br />Carmen (M) - have a great time in So. Carolina.  It has got to be warmer there than it is here.   Have fun.<br /><br />Rose - As you can see, our Dock is back where it belongs.  I wasn&#39;t able to start a new thread under Cruise Connections so Jason took care of it all for us.  Thanks Jason.  <br /><br />Carmen ® - I never thought about bringing foods to the crew.  Thanks for the great idea.   <br /><br />Sue - sorry about all the snow - stay in and stay warm&#33;<br /><br />Joey - thanks for the Valentines reminder - I&#39;ll have to print it and leave it be the coffee pot in the morning (along with the sale circular from our local jewelers)  lol.  Actually Jim is very good about those things.<br /><br />Jackie - we miss you here on the dock but know you are busy.  We look forward to you having time to tell us all that is going on in your life.<br /><br />Gotta go make lunch - Jim will be in shortly and I&#39;m sure he is very wet and very cold so some hot soup is needed.
