Hi Gang,<br /><br />Another beautiful day in the Entertainment Capital of the World.<br /><br />Steve:  Know what you mean about the stock market.  I took almost everything out a month ago and put it in 5% CD&#39;s for the time being  We did the same 2000 and it worked pretty well for us.  This time it will probably mean the kids don&#39;t inherit quite as much.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/ninja.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ninja:" border="0" alt="ninja.gif" /> <br /><br />Roe will be heading out for another Doctors appointment shortly. (What else is new??)  Things do seem to be coming together on that scene.<br /><br />Getting ready for our church group cruise &quot;Boarding Party&quot; next Friday evening.  That is when I&#39;ll announce all the details.  This will be the 4th one Roe and I&#39;ve put together.  Ordered the cake at Costco last night.  It will say WELCOME MT. VIEW MARINERS.  I&#39;ve got lots of pictures of the Mariner which I put into a powerpoint presentation, plus we have a RCI video and video of our last group cruise.  Our TA and his wife are flying in from Shreveport, LA for the event and RCI sent a whole box of door prizes and another box of brochures.  The cruise website is up and running.  SOOO, I think we are good to go.<br /><br />Tonight we are going to a &quot;Pot Luck&quot; at church and I may &quot;Leak&quot; a little of the cruise info.<br /><br />WOW, I saw that RCI Transatlantic for &#036;399 on our home page.  Checked it out and the total for 12 days for two is &#036;1209.  That works out to &#036;50 per day each&#33;&#33;&#33;  Of course, you have to get to Barcelona on your own, but what the heck.  I just waited till the urge passed, but it is a heck of a deal.<br /><br />Joey:  Good news on CT.  Forget the polls on Prop 8, when are they ever right??<br /><br />Jenn is in the States.  Did anyone notify INS or at least Homeland Security??  LOL  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> <br /><br />Phone just rang, picked it up and dropped it and of course lost the call.  Probably John McCain calling me to have lunch.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Nope, they just called back and it was DISH Network, telling me they have sent us a new &quot;Smart Card.&quot;  That&#39;s OK, I&#39;d already planned to an Egg Salad sandwich for lunch.<br /><br />Later,<br /><br /><br /><br />
