For many of you today is a holiday - schools and businesses closed - so enjoy your day off.  <br /><br />We will be going to Ct. on Friday to stay with Paige &amp; Colin while their Mom &amp; Dad sail off to Bermuda on the Explorer to celebrate their 10th Anniversary so the early part of the week will be full of chores and the usual errands and things that won&#39;t get done for a week while we are away.   We are looking forward to spending some alone time with the kids.  I hope things quiet down enough on Wall Street so Dave can go away with a clear mind and get to relax.    He&#39;s really under a lot of stress with the way things have been going.    His Company feels that we have not seen the worst yet.  Several large companies are due to release less than stellar earning reports this week.   <br /><br />Cheryl - Welcome back - I&#39;m glad you had a good weekend and your MIL&#39;s birthday party was a suprise.   I&#39;m sure your house was freezing when you got back.   We did just the opposite one time - went away with the heat turned up and a warm front came through.   Opened our front door and it felt like a sauna.   Never did that again.<br /><br />Steve - great review of your trip.  Sounds like a good time was had by all.   Good luck at the Dr. today and congratulations on your selection to the Board of Elders.<br /><br />Ed - It sounds like your selection of a new pastor is coming to an end.   Good luck with the personal interviews.   <br /><br />Jenn - Hope you get the Cable problem fixed.    When are you planning this next trip?  It sounds like fun.<br /><br />Deb - Glad to find another Amazing Race fan.   Any favorites yet?    It was a pretty good show last night and some of the contestants are beginning to show their nastier sides.   <br /><br />Falina - Glad you got all your paperwork straightened out.  Hope you have an eary week.<br /><br />Andrea - so happy to hear that Rachael is doing better.   What a scare that must have been for everyone.<br /><br />Sue - hope you got some rest last night.   You were very tired last night.<br /><br />Martha - enjoy your day off today.   I&#39;m finally beginning to make some headway in the seasonal clothes switch.<br /><br />Joey - What&#39;s on your agenda for this week?   You have been pretty quiet lately.<br /><br />Robert - I hope you are finally rested up from your Galveston trip.   It won&#39;t be long now til you and Annie get that cruise&#33;<br /><br />I wonder how Jackie &amp; Tony are making out on their SA adventure.<br /><br />Tonia - Kevin - Shaunna - Carmen - Rose hope you have a great day.  I know I&#39;m missing someone - I&#39;m sorry.  My CRS is acting up again.<br /><br />Make today special
