Steve:  No better time to negotiate a new contract than right after your team won the National Championship&#33;&#33;  Bill Self is not fool, He will need a wheel barrow to carry the &#036;&#036; home.  Think the players will get a raise too??<br /><br />Happy to report that I&#39;m all finished packing.  Went overweight by about a pound and a half.  So, I moved some stuff to an overnight bag and all is well.  Just weighed Roe&#39;s bag and she is six pounds short, so she is digging out more stuff to pack.  Dropped Puff of to the neighbor&#39;s house where he will be bunking for the next two week.  He&#39;s in heaven hanging with his two best friends.<br /><br />Received an email today asking if I would accept the position of Chief Trainer for the State of Nevada AARP Safe driving program.  Told them I would, but no announcement till I&#39;m back from the cruise.  <br /><br />Got all the final &quot;Honey Do&#39;s&quot; out of the way today.  Darn, it&#39;s a lot of work to get ready for a cruise&#33;&#33;  Don&#39;t know what it is about these women who have to have the house spotless and shining before the leave on vacation.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes2:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />   Are there &quot;Cruise Police&quot; who come and inspect our homes while we are aboard ship??  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br /><br />That&#39;s it for now.  Will check in the AM if I get the chance.<br /><br />Is it time for the Midnight Buffet??
