Good morning from Stockton&#33;  Whew, never thought I&#39;d get here today&#33;  Some days no matter how you plan them, they are just destined to be crazy.<br />
<br />
Mary Lou - sounds like you had a fabulous show last night.  This is something that I miss in Stockton.  We lived in Reno before and were always having &#39;headliners&#39; in town.  Last one we had in Stockton was Neil Diamond and he socked the city for &#036;1 mill.  City Council lost about half of it in ticket sales.  The ytend to overlook that we are primarily an Asian/Back /Hispanic community and they would do well to bring those performers in.  Oh well, they never ask me...<br />
<br />
Today we hopefully have a walk through of the country club where we will be staging the scholarship dinner next weekend.  Chef is supposed to call, but I&#39;m not holding my breath.   The woman heading the silent/live auction would love to see the place, but I am guessing that we won&#39;t get much of a heads up before we have to set up. <br />
<br />
Am hoping to get to the florist today to pick up enough flowers to string togther soms leis for tomorrow night.  It would be great if Trader Joe&#39;s had its orchid bouquets in now, but they never do.  Tomorrow night is Ho&#39;ike Na HokuMai Kanoelani, a big hula festival/celebration.  Thankfully it&#39;s going to be warm tomorrow, so the little ones won&#39;t freeze like they do some years.<br />

Shari, I was sorry to hear about your allergic reaction.  Hopefully things are calmed down a little this morning.  Did maybe something sting you?  Kenichi swells up like a balloon when he get an insect bite.  once we had to cut a ring off his finger because he got a mosquito bite and the doctor was after he&#39;d lose his finger if they did relieve the swelling.  With any luck you will have smooth sailing from here on out.<br />
<br />
Meredith, your sunny weather will be back - think of this as a last hurrah before spring arrives.  Be careful going out this weekend.<br />
<br />
Here&#39;s hoping everyone has a grand day out&#33;<br />
<br />
