Good morning from Stockton&#33;  After running the box office again yesterday afternoon, I know I wouldn&#39;t want to work there full time.  Man, it was wild yesterday.  Had a gentleman call up wanting to know about &quot;Damn Yankees&quot; i explained the plot and he said,&quot;well just as long as it&#39;s not about the Civil War and I&#39;m a man of color and I don&#39;t wnat no Civil War crap.&quot;  I&#39;m thinking not a theater person -then he wanted to know how many scenes were in it - I have no way of knowing thatm but I did tell him there were two acts.  That wasn&#39;t good enough and he read me the riot act for not knowing...sigh, you can&#39;t please everyone.<br />
<br />
After closing out at 5, I ran home so we could hook up with the Brittos for diner.  Went to a great place in Lodi call the Old Arena Bar and Grill.  I had the best duck bar none.  The chef came out to meet us and we found out that he lives across the parking lot from us in the same complex.  Too funny&#33;  <br />
<br />
We picke dup our cruise docs, shipped Wendy&#39;s off to her (copies of the important stuff only - we kept the originals) and also gave the Brittos their docs.  They suddenly had a &#39;Oh, we&#39;re really going on a cruise&quot; moment and started asking questions that I&#39;d given them the answers to months ago.  They are so lucky to have a built-in support group (i.e. us) to handle all their newbie questions.  I would have loved to have had someone to go to for our first cruise (before the Internet).  Anyhow, they are starting to get excited.<br />
<br />
now on to the tough decisions - how much money to bring and which tee shirts to pack.  I liek to make a statement when we travel.  One of my favorites is:  Support Bacteria&#33;  It&#39;s the only culture some people will ever have.  And, &quot;People say I have A.D.D., but I don&#39;t know - oh, look a chicken&#33;&quot;  <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a safe and sane weekend.  If you&#39;re taveling, drive safely.  if you&#39;re partying, be careful and if you&#39;re like us and just having a regular weekend, don&#39;t work too hard&#33;<br />
<br />
Now, I&#39;m gonna out to buy me some of that new cereal&#33;<br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />
