I am here and the weather is beautiful. Well, a bit overcast, but nice and warm.

Mark and I are NAUI certified, have everything downstairs, right by the luggage.

Wish I was going and hope you all can enjoy it!!

Since my family was planning to go to Missouri without me, I had planned to swap with one of my partners at work so she could at least spend time with her family.....Everything is set... Right!!!

WRONG! Just before Thanksgiving I dislocate my shoulder.... My partner gets stuck having to take back her shift (I lose Newyears and Newyears day)... I spend Thanksgiving with a splint on me arm and eating tacos and leftover hamburger helper...... My partner say's it's alright and no hard feelings as long as I was able to rest and get some sleep.....

Did I mention me and my missus have triplets plus one 6 yr old???? Did I mention the triplets are two and a half years old???

Family returns... Insanity starts and rest stops!!!

I go to the doc today, where I find out that I have atleast another week at home..... Now don't get me wrong, I love spendig time with Maggie and the Monsters... But now I swear that I feel like I'm trapped at home, sick as a dog and actually wishing I was at work

Sorry... Had to vent!!

No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!

For all those heading to PIP....

Have a safe trip, have a great time playing pyrate, and come home safe and sound! :(;)

Don't have to tell you to have fun...figured that was a given. ;)

And Rats, I feel for you, mate. But there is always next year.

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

Ransom, I second that. <_<

No one feels as bad as I do, as I was in the area just 36 hours ago. ...and I planned to attend! I saw it all go down in KW last year, and discovered that my wool costume was not appropriate for tropical climes. This year I planned to convert to all linen, but the car needed new axles, brakes, and some other major repairs , and my job commitments also cut me short. All about time & money. ( I just want to say F work!)

To make matters worse, I even tried to catch the "green flash" on Englewood Beach in SW Florida but to no avail....however nice sunset just the same:

The only thing 'piratey' I saw was a parade float full of pirates in Venice, Fl. for the T-Day weekend parade on Saturday night...any of you crew out there on it? Just curious.

To make matters worse, while lounging about the house, I heard voices saying something about car insurance.
