Good morning all.  Tonia, I am so excited for you, Robert and Ed.  Hope you all have wonderful sailings - how could you not???  How much fun it is going to be for you to watch your friends experience cruising for the first time.  Yes, today is &quot;fun circus day&quot; as Scotty calls it.  I put my camera in my purse - not sure if they will let me take flash pics inside the arena, but have it just in case.  I really don&#39;t care that much about pics of the elephants, clowns and all the other stuff - I want photos of him experiencing it for the first time.  We will be picking him up at 5:00 and taking him to dinner before we head over to the Coliseum.  The circus starts at 7:30 and I don&#39;t want to get there too early because I don&#39;t want him to be ready to leave before it even starts.  It is cold and rainy here today - really looks like a fall day.  Hope the winter weather holds off a bit longer as we are driving to Galveston in 20 days and do have to go over some mountain passes to get there.  Greg is out now getting motion lights to put around the house.  I have both Brinks and ADT coming out before we leave for vacation.  ADT monitors our system now, but I want to see what Brinks has to offer also.  Mary Lou, I hope you have a wonderful &quot;girl&#39;s only&quot; weekend - it sounds like a lot of fun and I am sure Ashleigh will love the special time with mom and grandma.  Maria, if possible, maybe Ken can check in and let us know how you are doing after your surgery - you will be in the hearts and prayers of many of us here on Monday.  or maybe he can call or text someone and they can post here.  I know you guys have met Cheryl and Wayne before so maybe he would feel comforatable touching base with her.  I would be happy to send you my cell phone number if she is going to be out of the loop and he can text me.  So Rose, what did you do for your &quot;me day&quot; yesterday?  Well, guess I will go get some things done before it is time to get ready to spend my evening with Ringling Brothers....
