Morning, All&#33;  We are headed into another sunny day in Stockton.  It Never Rains in California had to be written about the San Joaquin Valley.  A friend e mailed me from New Hampshire that they were in the middle of a 12-hour rain storm...sigh, in our dreams.<br />
<br />
Started putting out feelers for a good restaurant in London&#39;s theater district for our night out on the town.  I&#39;m of two minds.  There is a great restaurant across the street from the theater, but it&#39;s very expensive and &#39;the place&#39; to be seen.  Two blocks away is a cheaper, but more niche (It&#39;s called Fish&#33; - guess what they serve) place.  Then there are pubs.  I&#39;d sort of like to make it a &#39;British&#39; evening and go to a pub, but then it would be a shame to miss a dining experience.  On the other hand, when we go out to an expensive restaurant, we like to make that the evening - would we be missing something by also going to the theater?  It&#39;s a delightful problem to ponder. <br />
<br />
Had fun over at the theater yesterday, I caught the box office up on all its paperwork and got everything mailed out to our patrons.  Cynthia has been slacking lately, but it could be due to school - finals and all, or just spring fever.  don&#39;t know, but the producer wasn&#39;t happy yesterday with her performance.  She&#39;s just young (20) and seems to reflect the less-than-stellar work ethic that we were all brought up with.  she works her hours - period.  she does the minimum required for her job - period.  You can&#39;t really fault her because she gets it done, but she doesn&#39;t do any more than she has to.  Oh well, not my problem.<br />
<br />
got a nasty letter from the disability people saying that they hadn&#39;t gotten all the stuff they needed from two different sources and they were going to disallow my claim if they haven&#39;t heard from them by the 29th - both companies I spoke with never received a single request from them.  Their response was immediate when I asked for info - sort of makes you wonder, doesn&#39;t it?  I&#39;ve got a call into my former employer to read them the riot act this morning.  I think the disability company has forgotten who the customer is here.  <br />
<br />
Thanks for everyone&#39;s wishes for a healthy husband.  He woke up Wednesday morning feeling fine wth the exception of a low temp.  Me, I still don&#39;t feel 100%<br />
<br />
We having a picnic this morning down at Weber&#39;s Point, then I may wander across the street and pick up tickets for &quot;Priates&quot; - I&#39;ll leave Shrek 3 for another weekend.  Why do all the good movies seem to come out at once?  <br />
<br />
After that (and a nap), we are going to head out to Sacto for some shopping at Chris&#39;s favorite store (Frye&#39;s Eletronics), then to dinner and a show with friends.    <br />
<br />
Got good news from my brother&#39;s doctors - they did a biopsy on his liver, thinking he was in failure only to find out it was something completely different  that can easily be treated with a drug.  His liver is fine - the man has move lives than a cat.  <br />
<br />
Have a grand day all&#33;<br />

P.S.   MaryLou - your story of the ripped screen in your grandaughter&#39;s room reminded me of one of our adventures.  When we first moved to Stockton, we only had one parking space at the apartment complex, so I parked my Buick Skylark out on the street.  Christmas Eve there was a drive by shooting just outside our complex and I discovered a bullet hole in my car the next morning.  If it hadn&#39;t been there to stop the bullet, it would have ended up in a little girl&#39;s bedroom, hitting right where her bed was (the cops figured all this out).  I was mighty happy the Buick was there as that would have been a Christmas present no one would want.
