I saw one word...Gerber. If that is a client of hers, you guys will do juuuust fine! The world runs on Moms and Baby Food! At least Gerber is a massive chunk of my companies revenue.

Man what a fun vacation for the kids. And to NOT know about it is great. I am going to do something like this when I have kids of my own!

Hey VH, no chance for getting there the 9th of June ... to many other things happening that I will need to be in PA for, and my assistant is the MIL of the young man that was killed a month ago, and she is taking her SIL's place on a Florida vacation that was scheduled at that time, so I HAVE to stay back and "hold down the fort."

Well... You didn't leave much room for messin' with ya...:redface:

Please extend my sympathies to your assistant and her family, from mine.

I have no doubt that we'll meet up eventually... hopefully sooner than later.

There'll be many "next time's"!!!

Let's hear it for the many "next time's"! Trying to work out something the middle/end of August around the panhandle or gulf coast of FL. Will keep you posted if it happens.

Definitely start a thread when/if you know it's happening. I've got a lot going on in August; but as always... I'll do all I can...

Well, it's day three, now. we started out at the Kennedy Space Center. Great day. Our lunch with an astronaut (Jerry Carr) was excellent. The food was suprisingly very good; as well as the company. Day 2 was spent at Legoland. Of course, the Kids loved the place. For adults, however, it's really just a whole lot of not so different souvenier shops with a few rides in between... Seriously, there are way more souvenier shops than attractions. Day three (today) was spent at Sea World. FANTASTIC!!! We spent more than an hour up close and personal with three dolphin and a trainer/handler giving us royal attention. It was just my family and I with her. We're now at our hotel, waiting for one of my childhood friends, who is now the executive chef of the Boston Lobster Feast Resteraunts (two) and one other owned by the same person. We're going to have dinner with him and his wife at the Orlando location of the Boston Lobster Feast.

I'll continue later; gotta go.

Re: Gotta brag a little about my wife

Well folks...I MUST take the opportunity to "spout off" about my wife. As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life, and that's definitely true, but in this day and age, it seems that divorce is more the norm than the exception and I'd bet a year's pay that each and every one of you know of at least half a dozen couples that have split. I will readily admit that I'm not an easy guy to live with...surprisingly enough, I'm prone to bouts of anger, impatience, immaturity...and the list goes on and on. However, I'm one of the very lucky ones! Being an air force guy for almost 30 yrs, I have my fair share of stressors in my life and my wife just takes it in stride. I met her when she was 17, we got married when she was 18, and 26 yrs later we're still together. But...let me give you just a few examples of why I think I'll keep her around...for years I owned motorcycles of one type or another...and I was kind of whining of wanting a Harley. Out of the blue, she said, well...lets go look at them. So we did...long story short, one visit to the local dealer and we bought a Harley with not only her blessing, but with her encouragement (and gents, you KNOW that's not an easy sell). Our tv went on the fritz...we went "looking" for a new television. She decided to buy ME the 62", flatscreen, LCD television (which she paid for by the way)... when I wanted to buy my bass boat, she didn't bat an eye, nor did she complain (remember she isn't much into boating)... took her for a ride in the bass boat and she wasn't comfortable (she can't swim well and being able to touch the water from a sitting position in the bass boat left a lot for her to desire). I off-handedly asked her if she'd be more comfortable on a pontoon boat...the answer was a resounding YES, with the question, "when are you going to buy one honey?" .... and lastly...for our 25th anniversary, I asked her if she wanted to go to Hawaii. She said no, she'd rather go to Vegas. I replied, okay...but we've already been to Vegas. She smiled and said, you don't understand...I want to go to Vegas....on the Harley!! Guys...you just can't buy that kind of happiness. Hehehe... I think I'll keep her around!! Oh ..and in case you happen to think I'm "whipped" ...of COURSE I'm whipped...I'm married!!
