Good morning all.  Howard, so great to see you here - I can see why you don&#39;t spend much time with us.  The world needs more wonderful people like you.  Drop by any time you can, we are always happy to see you.  Maria, I think the Lumberjack&#39;s competition would be such fun to see.  We used to go to the Dallas State Fair every year when we lived there.  Here in Colorado, it is held in Pueblo, so a few years ago, we made the 3 hr. drive and decided it definitely was not worth the drive so haven&#39;t been back.  County fairs are not a popular thing around here - in fact I can&#39;t recall seeing any advertised.  Hope you guys have a great time.   Rose, good luck on the diet - I know what you mean, my goal is to get far enough below goal before cruising that I can eat whatever I want while onboard.  Oh, who am I kidding, I am going to eat whatever I want while cruising regardless of whether I get below goal or not&#33;&#33;&#33;  Keith, good luck on your business trip - hubby hates those ones that he considers hand-holding, where he is trying to appease someone.  Mary Lou, hope you do something fun for yourself on your &quot;free day&quot;.  How long is it until cruise time - I know it is less than a month but wasn&#39;t sure of the date.  Well, I am going to tear myself away from the forum and go run my errands.  Have a great day everyone.
