I guess I don&#39;t have to ask what most of you will be doing this weekend.   Even though the Giants will be in the super bowl I have very little interest in the game - may watch a bit to see the commercials but otherwise will find something else to do.   <br /><br />Jim had a great birthday despite the news from work - our crab was yummy last night and he loved all his Giant gear as well as his other gifts.   He is upset about his job but it will last til the end of the year so it&#39;s not like he will be out of work tomorrow.   As I said yesterday, he is more upset for some of the &quot;older&quot; men there.  Deb was stunned when he told her last night.  She generally has the inside scoop on what is going on at the bank.  <br /><br />Shari - Sunshine - yeah&#33;&#33;&#33;  Enjoy the warm weather.  It must seem tropical to you after the cold that you left.  Have a great time with you brother and enjoy the sights.<br /><br />Steve - hope your shoulder is OK today and not too sore.  That is great news about the last lesion they removed.  You were due for some good news from the Dr.    Now you can concentrate on getting ready for the cruise.<br /><br />Ed - Welcome back - can&#39;t wait to hear all about your cruise.   I hope someone got a pic of you walking around with Crazie this morning.  <br /><br />Ray - glad things have quieted down and all is quiet and you can do some sightseeing.  Enjoy your time there.  Sounds like you have a great weekend planned.<br /><br />Jackie - thanks for  pointing out the up side of Jim loosing his job, but that is why he went back to work in the first place.  After 41 years of marriage we really still enjoy being together (every OTHER week)  lol.  <br /><br />Jenn - hope the panic attacks are gone - they are the pits.  I only have them when I fly so there is a real easy solution to that problem.   Hope you were able to relax some yesterday and had a good nights sleep <br /><br />Cheryl - Jim retired the first time when he was 55 - that lasted about 6 months.  He thought retirement meant he could follow me around like a little puppy dog 24-7.  Someday I will have to tell you all the story about the day he decided I didn&#39;t know how to properly cook pasta.   Then he went to work for a company that needed a broker for 3 months - that job lasted 2 years.  Since then he has been content to work at a local gold course during golf season but left that job for this job with a local bank.  He will probably go back to the golf course next year if they will have him.   The pay is lousy but he gets all the free golf he wants&#33;<br />Greg sounds like he keeps pretty busy so it should not be a problem when he retires. <br /><br />Joey &amp; Carmen - get packing&#33;   The Monarch won&#39;t wait.  <br /><br />Ed &amp; Carmen - let me know how the hand-off of Crazie goes.   <br /><br />Hope everyone else is well and has big weekend plans, even if it is to sit in front of the TV on Sunday.<br /><br />Make today special.  I&#39;ll be back later on.<br /><br />  <br /><br />
