Robert - being shot down 3 times would make even the most &quot;manly man&quot; nervous about flying. I completely understand.       I hate flying which is why we are driving to Miami in 2 weeks.    Hopefully you and Annie will be able to take a Cruise Crazies cruise before too long.   It would be great getting to meet you.   <br /><br />Jackie - that Cuisinart Griddle looks terrific.   I&#39;ve had my eye on it during their closing sales also.    I did pick up some oversized table linens which I needed but will wait for more discounts on the griddle.
