Had a real nice time at dinner last night and the food was very good.  There were 10 of us (8 adults and the 2 grandkids) and we only ordered 3 large entrees and still came home with leftovers.  We ate very early - 5PM because of the kids - but when we left the line was out the door with a 2 hour wait for a table.  Wouldn&#39;t wait that long for a table but would go back there early and get in and out before the rush.  Haven&#39;t decided yet if I will cook dinner for Mike for his b&#39;day today - my guest room still looks like a storm went through here but I sure am having fun going through all our old cruise things.   <br /><br />Jim - great to see you here on the Dock.  Hope you and Kathy will  join us whenever you can.  It really is fun getting to know your fellow Cruise Crazies.   Hopefully &#39;08 will be a better year for all of us healthwise.<br /><br />Steve - great news about the boxer.  Glad she is doing better<br /><br />Ed - Guilty as charged as far as being a pack rat.  I did discard all the daily planners a few years ago when we moved but kept the first days planner from each cruise as well as the &quot;Meet the Crew&quot; paper they gave you on day 1.  However from my very first cruise in 64 before I was married I still have all the menus, all the daily planners and all the luggage tags as well as the cocktail napkins and drink stirrers, match books, etc.   Did keep all the invoices and Jim and I had a good laugh wondering where the heck we found all that money to spend on cruising.   <br /><br />Jenn - I&#39;ll try my best to be fiscally responsible and keep the good old greenback in circulation.  Jim says I do a masterful job at that&#33;<br /><br />Maria - how are things on good old SI?   I can&#39;t believe how it has changed since we left.  Son Dave tells us it changed long before we left - we just didn&#39;t see it.  Now I have to admit it is a real chore to go back there to visit Heather &amp; Caitlin.  <br /><br />Joey - are you packed for your cruise yet?  Don&#39;t forget to pick up all those new pants from the tailors before you leave.  <br /><br />Rose - Welcome back - how was your cruise.  We are anxious to hear all about it.<br /><br />Jackie - glad your first few days of work went well.   A quick get-away cruise for April sounds like a good plan.<br /><br />Well, time to get back to the files and finish up this mess.  Also have to finish with the Christmas decorations - I thought I was done in the guest room and I&#39;m sitting here right now looking at a snowman on the shelf.   Oops&#33;  I&#39;ll be finding things around here for weeks to come.<br /><br />Make today special.  Hope the weather is improving for those on the west coast.  We are expecting a mild front to come in today - a good change to get the wreath off the house and the blow ups put away.&#092;
