Good morning Cruise Crazies&#33;<br />
<br />
I hope everyone and theirs are well.<br />
<br />
The weather in New York is beautiful today and I&#39;m debating taking the car in for a checkup or just relaxing. I do have a little time to take it in before my vacation. There are no serious problems, now. A few weeks ago when I would warm up the car while it was in park, the sound of the engine seemed to wan, the dash board lights would dim and then the sound would become stronger again. This caused some concern when it happened several times while the car was warming up. Despite the warm up episode, the car would run flawlessly. Presently, the car warms up normally so I think I have at least one more week before I have to take it into the shop. Wish me luck.<br />

Yours is the example to follow when looking for a job. <br />
<br />
I&#39;m sorry to hear about that wrist. I hope they find a more permanent and satisfactory solution.<br />
<br />
Be careful with that sleep walking.<br />
<br />
Congratulations on the extension of your home.<br />

How was the stir fried chicken?<br />

Has there been any positive news on the Ambien CR? <br />
<br />
I&#39;m really sorry about your insomia. For someone who&#39;s been functioning after being up for 35 1/2 hours you sure sound up beat. You&#39;re a good sport to let your kids slap you awake. I&#39;m glad you got 10 straight hours sleep. <br />
<br />
My roommate takes Ambien and I&#39;ve never heard him walking through the apartment. Occasionally, he does cook at 2:00 or 3:00 AM and there&#39;s a heavy smell of bacon that permeates my room. It&#39;s a little disconcerting since I&#39;m a vegetarian. I think he takes the Ambien immediately after he eats but he wakes up anyway and cooks. Hmmm. I&#39;d better check and see if he&#39;s awake on that the next time I smell bacon. When I questioned him about whether or not he&#39;s aware of his cooking so early in the morning, his response is he&#39;s very aware of when he&#39;s cooking and he&#39;s cooking because he&#39;s hungry. He claims that because he used to work at night (about 7 years ago), he&#39;s used to eating at 4:00 AM. None the less, I&#39;m going to be more vigilant because there&#39;s a four year old in the apartment. Nothing, noises or smells, wakes him up.<br />
<br />
It&#39;s great that your husband can take you along with him on a business trip. I hope you enjoy your time with your friend in Staten Island but if you get to New York City I hope we can have coffe, lunch or something before you go back home.<br />
<br />
Congratulations on missing that nasty snow.<br />

There&#39;s nothing like having a great grocery store or supermarket in the community. I live in New York and there are some nice supermarkets but I love the supermarkets in Florida so much better. It&#39;s great to smell the fresh baked goods coming out of the bakery of the Florida Superstore. The stores in Florida seem huge by New York&#39;s standards and the one stop idea works very nicely. There&#39;s just not enough real estate space in New York City for supermarkets to have all of those departments. They do the best they can with limited space.<br />

Thanks for the information on the fesitval. Congratulations to you and your little sister on the first place gold medal for your group. I don&#39;t know about the hip-hop dance competition show down because I&#39;m way over 30 years old. There wouldn&#39;t be any competition there.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work and good luck in future competitions.<br />

I knew there was something creative about you. Congratulations on your playwriting award.<br />
<br />
I hope the scholarship dinner and auction is a smashing success. The auction items seem really interesting. I also hope the rain comes in for you.<br />
<br />
I hope to show you the wonders of New York one day. I understand about the wide open spaces and that&#39;s why I go out to sea and vacation as much as I can. But, I love New York&#33;<br />

It sounds like it was a rough weekend with the twins yet very enjoyable. My hat is off to you because I can&#39;t shop like that for anybody. You are one dedicated and faithful person. All the best to you and your twins.<br />

Hang in there. <br />
<br />
I&#39;m sorry you don&#39;t want to come to New York but if you ever got here I&#39;d like to show you some parts you might like. We&#39;re not as bad as you might think.<br />

I hope you enjoy hours and hours of relaxing time in your paddle boat. Just imagine, you can take mini-cruises in the lake every now and then. It would be great to take a picnic basket and have your own Lido deck.<br />
<br />
Does the community allow fishing in the lake?<br />

I agree with you about NYC.<br />
