Dave, Alaska Airlines. Our international travel is limited to Canada and Mexico. We can't get you from there to here...unless you take a right at the Bering Straight. (And while you’re there, can you stop at Bering Land Bridge National Park and pick up a couple post cards for Carrie & me?). I recommend traveling soon, while there’s PLENTY of light. Then we'd be pleased to pick you up in Nome or Kotzebue. From there, we can take you to many sunny sun drenched (and margarita-infused) destinations, the East Coast and even right up to Bruce & CST's front door.
And, we fly all over inside the state of Alaska, which is phenomenal to see, even from a coach seat at 40K feet. I highly recommend a visit. Every part of the state I see, I fall in love with. Each is different, but each magnificent.
Terry, still working on the husband about my early retirement. You know how much he likes my paycheck though. He says that given that I'm over 25 years from receiving social security, I should not be thinking about retiring. He's selfish like that.
The delay in my getting back on SJC this week was due to deep depression over Game 7. How are you holding up anyhow?
Bruce, thought of you today in Costco. The gross consumerism, the crazy people pushing each other out of the way to get the free samples of tiny pieces of unusual microwaveable frozen food, calling Search & Rescue before I pulled into the parking lot, letting them know that I likely wouldn't make it out alive... no wait, that's not it. I finally picked up Tim Cahill's book.
(Ok, I'm a bit behind. I've been reading history and current events for the last few years.)
Bob, I have a large wooden cross intertwined with Celtic knots hanging on living room wall. Does that qualify as a barbaric crucifix? Is the symbolism of empty cross (like most Protestant churches have) the same as the crucifix?
Terry, yes that nun DOES know about all those transgressions. And you still have not made a true and proper confession, so you’re still carrying around that sin. You better make an appointment with your local Catholic authorities soon (allow some time).
