MISTER 67

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 73 this AM with a high of 89 and sunny skies. Interesting days, I hated homework, tried to get it done in study hall. I’m constantly dieting but I had my gall bladder removed 4 years ago and your metabolism gets messed up and it’s hard to lose weight as you don’t process food and fats in a normal way, I’m about 10 pounds over where I’d like to be. One of those Greek guys my ancestors knew with a quote that’s spot on. I’ll pass on the salad even though I love Feta cheese, just don’t care for pears. Maine is one of the few states I haven’t visited so haven’t experienced Bar Harbor. Monday’s are early tee times for our golf group, we lost a few more snowbirds over the weekend and are down to around 3 foursomes for the summer. Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 72 this AM with a high of 88 and sunny skies. Good selection of days though we don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Interesting quote. Today is Greek Orthodox Easter, Christos Anesti. What a thrilling finish at the Kentucky Derby. Have a great day and stay well.

We prefer smaller ships, even though we are down on HAL right now the Eurodam is our favorite ship.

This will be our 74th cruise and we never had a bad one, just some have been better than others.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. It’s 69 right now heading up to 88 with plenty of sunshine. Good selection of days. I’m not sure about the quote. I would try the meal. A week to go for our cruise on the Enchanted Princess, hope everything is good, I’ve read some great reviews and some not so great. Today is the Run for the Roses, the 150th Kentucky Derby, here’s a hot tip, I’m going with the favorite Fierceness. The problem with the Derby is there are way too many horses and if a horse has a lousy post position way on the outside the horse might be boxed out or have a hard time making up ground getting close to the rail, IMHO the Preakness and Belmont are better races because they usually have only 9 or10 horses. Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 71 this AM with a high of 89. A couple of strange days. The quote is pretty good. Carrot Cake is a favorite of mine but it has a lot of calories. We have been to France and the French Riviera but not to Marseille. Margaret Mitchell most definitely deserved the Pulitzer Prize for Gone With The Wind, I read the novel in 1963 in High School and did a book report on it, the movie is also great and we have watched it over 20 times. We spent a beautiful 4 hours at Englewood Beach yesterday, more people than I expected as some snowbirds are still around. Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. A warm 73 this AM heading up to 88 this afternoon, highs in the 90s coming up next week. Good selection of days. The quote is right on the money. I’ll pass on the meal. I’ve been to Montevideo, the one in Minnesota not in Uruguay. Had a Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde round yesterday shooting a 35 on the front nine and a 44 on the back 9, wheels sort of came off but I did get it back on the last 3 holes. We will make it to the beach today. Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 69 this AM heading up to 85 with abundant sunshine. Excellent selection of days. Meh on the quote. The meal is worth a try. Juneau was the first stop on our 2000 Alaskan cruise on the Celebrity Galaxy, it was cold and damp that day, once was enough. We didn’t go to the beach yesterday as our dentist office called and they were able to move up my appointment which was after our May 11 cruise, I had a piece come off an upper right tooth so the dentist was able to put a temporary crown, procedure took about 90 minutes, not a lot of fun, the permanent crown might be in before our cruise. Have a great day and stay well.

We won it all in 2005, I remember beating your guys I the first round of the playoffs 3 games to none, in fact we went 11-1 in the postseason which tied the Yankees with the best postseason record ever, we beat the Angels 4-1 and then swept the Astros for the World Series Championship.

If you were a White Sox fan you would know how I feel, at the pace they are on they are going to wind having the worst record in modern day Major League Baseball history, the 1962 NY Mets right now have that distinction finishing with a record of 40-120.

Mel Blanc was amazing, he was great on the old Jack Benny Program.

Actually though I left Chicago over 30 years ago I’m still a White Sox fan, talk about hurting all over, the White Sox are pathetic, with a pathetic owner, a pathetic GM, a pathetic manager and pathetic players.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 69 this AM with a high of 86 and lots of sunshine. Never heard of Beltane Day but who hasn’t heard of Bugs Bunny, one of the most iconic cartoon characters ever, Whats up doc. When I was a kid and went to a Saturday matinee with 25 Cartoons, Bugs always got the loudest cheers. Good quote. Pass on the meal. Going to grab some sunshine today at the beach. My Lightning were eliminated in their first round playoff with the guys from the other side of the state, oh well, now I can concentrate on the baseball season. Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 65 this morning with another sunny day coming up and a high of 84. Good selection of days. Great quote on real friendship. I’ll pass on the meal. My parents were married 79 years ago today and I showed up 10 months later, my father was in the Navy and came home to Chicago right before Germany surrendered, he was injured at Normandy when his ship stuck a German mine off Utah Beach, he was one of the few survivors losing many of his ship mates. He returned to England where he recovered from his wounds and spent his remaining service time there before returning home in mid April of 1945 and my folks married a couple of weeks later. Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. It’s 69 this morning heading up to 83 with sunshine. Very good days. I’m not sure about the quote, the percentages might be skewed a bit. I’m in on the meal. Heading off to church in a couple hours, it’s Palm Sunday in the Greek Orthodox Church. The Lightning are still alive as they beat the Panthers 6-3 yesterday but the odds are still against them winning the series as they must win the next 3 games. Have a great day and stay well.

Yep, 7 days.

It was working on my I phone but not the I pad, now everything is back to normal.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. 66 this AM with a high of 86 and more sunny skies. Good selection of days as is the quote. Though I’m not wild about cauliflower, I’d give the meal a try. 2 more weeks until our cruise on the Enchanted Princess to St. Thomas, San Juan and Princess Cays. We finished in 3rd place and cashed in the last Men’s Golf Assn. tournament of the season. Tough scramble format with everybody teeing off from the Senior tees but for every birdie the team made we had to move back 1 tee box so by the 7th hole we played the rest of round from the back tees which was sort of brutal for some old fogies but we managed 3 more birdies and never made a bogie, if you did bogey a hole the team moved up a tee box. We wound up with a 65 which considering the game I thought we did quite well but couldn’t believe when we were finished that the first place team shot 60, trust me, that was phenomenal. Have a great day and stay well.

Cat, it doesn’t look good for the Lightning.

Jazzy, I’m not holding my breath on the Lightning coming back to win the series.

Your photos bring back memories of our Greek Island cruise from Istanbul to Athens on the R 1 in 1999 which was one of 8 identical ships built by Renaissance Cruise Line, not sure if you are sailing on the original R 1 but the ship looks like it has held up extremely well after 25 years.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. It’s 65 this AM heading up to a warm 87 with the usual sunny skies. Good selection of days. Some chuckles with the quote by Mel Brooks who is one funny guy, his Young Frankenstein is my favorite movie comedy of all time. Not sure about the meal. My Tampa Bay Lightning are toast as they have lost the first 3 games of their playoff series against the Florida Panthers, the Bolts need a miracle. Today is our last Men’s Golf Assn. Tournament of the season. Most of the Snowbirds have already headed north with only a few still here. Traffic has thinned out and the restaurants aren’t as crowded, hallelujah! Have a great day and stay well.

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte. A pleasant 64 this AM heading up to 84 with sunny skies. Good selection of days. I’m not sure about the quote. Pass on the meal. We have been to Santorini, one of the best Greek Islands. Had a good round yesterday beating my age by 1 shot with a smooth 77 with 2 closies but my 3 teammates struggled and we finished last in the team game. Have a great day and stay well.

We have sailed on the Equinox 6 times and agree with everything you said except we aren’t wild about the production shows, a couple of them have been around for 6 years. The Equinox is a wonderful ship and one of our favorites and look forward to see what she will look like after the dry dock.
