First thing you are going to notice the weather is hotter when doing the Southern Caribbean because it's closer to the equator. Probably be a eye opener for you coming from Canada. I'll be sure to leave the touques and mittens in the igloo back at home. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to give me a "Where as" plaque. I said no. Of course, yours may not have the silly verbiage that ours do. But they look the same. I am confident that we will meet up again. The Soggy Dollar will be a repeat destination for us. 5 hours ago, bobmacliberty said: Thanks for sharing this Greg. Very cool video. The music that he chose does a great job of reinforcing his point about the vastness of the universe. That's what I thought too. I could watch that all day long. 3 hours ago, dani negreanu said: Thanks, Dave, and Jim ( @Jimbo) for asking. As of yesterday afternoon, we're under missile attack alert. The radius of the alert is 80 km (from Gaza strip). We're in the 75 km zone, so quite far, but not far enough..... We're invited to a very dear friend's birthday this evening, they live southern than us (40 km from Gaza strip), but we decided to go. We're taking with us a big blanket, in case we'll need to stop the car and lay flat on the road... Thinking of you Dani and hope and pray for your safety. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted August 6, 2022 #67078 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Busy day today with emotions. This morning we said goodbye to the mother of one of my life long friends Ron. This afternoon we will attend the wedding of one of my coworkers for 40 years son who I’ve seen grow up. At the funeral we got a picture taken of the 3 amigos. We all 3 are drummers who went to school together and lived together for a long time. I met Ron(right) in 7th grade when we took drum lessons from the same teacher. We played together in a Percussion Ensemble through the conservatory of music’s gifted student program for 7 years. He and I went to college together also at the conservatory and were fraternity brothers together. I met John (center) as co drum teachers for a music store in town. We became very close and John and Ron and I moved to a house and lived together for several years. 3 Drummers John playing with George Benson and his wife R&B and Grammy Nominated singer/pianist Oleta Adams, (also sang with Tears for Fears) and Ron long time Broadway show percussionist for Starlight Theater. And me off and on as a professional drummer before going into broadcast television. So great to reconnect. Lifelong drummers, brothers and roommates. Friends for life. Now onto the wedding. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing the differences in the world… we carry a blanket in the winter in case we get stuck in a snow storm. The plan is you hope not to need it, but you are prepared. I pray that you do not need yours as well. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talk to Jack's sister in Israel a few times a week. You never get used to it. I hope you're able to enjoy the birthday celebration with laughter surrounded by friends. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted August 6, 2022 #67087 Share Posted August 6, 2022 On the covid front: Jack is symptom free and tested negative today. Yay! He's going to wait until testing again tomorrow to be sure. And me? Today is day 5 of covid and symptoms are not as severe. It's also the 1st day of normal temp. I'll test again tomorrow with Jack. Nose very stuffed and slightly runny. I am surprised I'm not as tired as my friends got. I've been binge watching Brooklyn Bridge tv show episodes on you tube. I can't wait to restart physical therapy for my ankle. I've been walking all over the apt. with a walker while the wheelchair sits empty in the corner. I'm so proud! However, I still need more work to gain more strength so I can stay longer on my feet. I can't remember the last time I took a happy pill. Proud of that also! 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryfat1 Posted August 7, 2022 #67092 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Here on the Majestic Princess. Wifi on ship not good for cruise critic uploads. Might not be able to upload more pictures after tonight until first port. Here are some sample pictures but without detailed explanation for now. We got 3 obstructed balconies and cabin steward came and was open to open all connections as well as inside connection with the boys. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey & Sophie Posted August 7, 2022 #67098 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Today was not a good day for one of us in this household. Yesterday we had our 2nd booster of Moderna. We're on the Harmony this November so the booster will have plenty of time to percolate before we leave. John had no reaction at all. He hasn't reacted to any of the shots except just a bit sore around injection site. Me... not so lucky. Tummy likes to do that somersault thing whenever I move. We went up to bed about 4 am and at 6 I got nasty chills that lasted about 6 hours. My joints are so sore from all that abuse. Still doing the somersault thing too. A wild storm blew through during the night which was oddly comforting. Got in a little nap this afternoon, after watching 3 Days of the Condor for about the 20th time. I'm starting to feel better so I should be ready to go tomorrow. John was so concerned...he got take out for dinner for us. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called Nicks Place in the Westchase district of Houston, just off Westheimer Road. Another good thing is that they have all day breakfast. Sometimes I like breakfast food for lunch or dinner and sometimes I like to sleep in & I''ll miss the hotel breakfasts that usually ends at 11 am (or 10 am in weekdays) https://nicksplacehouston.com/ And I made the mistake of looking at the menu online... sitting here at work and my tummy is growling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
