JimnKaren Posted January 21, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Once Garrison and crew came to Chicago and I went to see them. An unforgetable evening. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkm Posted January 21, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Oh Chester, I loved this chapter! I can't wait for the next one. Are you all sitting together for dinner????:confused: Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterh Posted January 21, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Nancy - we're on our way to PEI, a full day away. Did your crocuses come up this week? Jim - GK promised to come back to NH again, and we'll be the first in line. I haven't forgotten about your project - looked at it the other night, and will get back to you soon (how do you define "soon"). Garry - We won't know about that until we get to the dining room - tomorrow, with any luck. In case you missed the message... that book is just for you. If your friends want to read it, they can get their own... (marketing 101) chesterh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching the boards tomorrow for the next chapter. Chester, I wish they sold your books on the ship. I think it would become a "ship best seller." If I let someone read it and they like it, they might buy the next one you publish.;) Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offtune Angel Posted January 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2006 chestah, As ever, you make my day. I'm looking forward to the next chapter and I'm eagerly awaiting all the "other" ones. Kris and "the Mothers" look good, especially considering how water-logged they were just a few hours earlier. I think for really, really popular nights -- such as GK shows and free champagne Captain's toasts -- that the guests for each sitting should be issued a coloured card indicative of their Dinner Sitting and have to surrender that card at the theatre entrance. Those with the incorrect card would have to wait -- and those with the correct card would have seats. Of course, my opinion is somewhat affected by being SRO victims -- in heels -- on our last cruise.:D "turry" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regnig Posted January 22, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've always been a GK fan. I watched a taping of his radio program once, believe it was on PBS, and like your mom needed to wipe my eyes a lot. Looking forward to another chapter tomorrow --- perhaps. I've got my money on a table snafu. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindone Posted January 22, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Chester--- I don't have crocusses, as my mother used to call them, but it looks like the forsythia is budding!! Strange winter it is! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterh Posted January 23, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Garry - Of course, I wish they would, too. Feel free to put it in the suggestion box. I don't think there will be a "next one," barring a genuine miracle or two... Thanks, "Turry." At least I was wearing my flats, so it wouldn't have been totally unbearable to stand... Barb, tomorrow is today now. The tale will be told momentarily. Nancy, Kris and I took a walk today. The forsythia is ready to burst, and the willows are fooled, too. Sounds like fun time for the commute tomorrow. Oh, boy... chesterh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
