Jackie, We love the Diamond as well.  We have done 22 Princess Cruises to date but also have not been on the Sapphire as yet.  Been checking prices and they are looking good.<br /><br />Joey: I guess the answer is as often as we like.  Once in awhile someone wants to throw a ton of money at me for a seminar and if it is somewhere I really want to go, I&#39;ll accept.  Other than that I&#39;m retired.  Roe retired from Pulte Homes about six years ago.  Several years ago, Roe was diagnosed with a very rare type of skin cancer at the Mayo Clinic.  Her mortality was something I had never considered, I&#39;m several years older.  That hit me like a ton of bricks&#33;&#33;  Two weeks later my accountant said to me, &quot;You know you don&#39;t have to do this anymore if you don&#39;t want to.&quot;  Within 30 days I had sold out my business to my partner and pulled out a consulting and training company I had started and began to consult when and where I choose.<br /><br />Those two events made me realize that there are far more important things in life than working and chasing the buck.  I decided I was going to spend every moment I could with the woman I love&#33;&#33;  And, that&#39;s what I&#39;ve been doing.  I thank God everyday for giving me my soul mate.  Sorry for the long story, but we are enjoying each other and what we love to do while we can.<br /><br />We are not kids.  I&#39;ll be 74 this year and she is 69.  Neither of us have lost any mobility and other than the normal aches and pains are in pretty good shape.  BTW, Roe and I may be coming to California before too long.  Her Dr. wants her to get electron beam radiation at Stanford to try and put this cancer into remission once and for all.  They have been controlling it quite well for about 16 years already with UV treatments here locally.<br /><br />She is probably the only 69 year old who floats on a raft in the swimming pool in a string bikini under Doctor&#39;s orders&#33;&#33; That&#39;s really the only reason I put in the pool.  I&#39;m blond and blue eyed and have had three basil cell cancers removed over the years and I try and stay out of the sun.  I go out for a swim and then get out of the sun ASAP, she on the other hand floats for hours.<br /><br />Steve:  Love the uniform picture thing.  I still have my BDU&#39;s from the time I spent with the Green Berets and they still fit&#33;&#33;  Also have my jump boots and airborne helmet just in case they call me back&#33;&#33;  Watched the National Memorial Day Celebration from DC this evening and have to admit I had tears running down my cheeks at the end.  Too many memories of too many good men who died too young.<br /><br />Almost Midnight here in LV and I still have to walk the dog, so I&#39;d better sign off.<br /><br />
