Howie is retiring

picture this...
hobie's liver panel came back and the
numbers were "remarkable"!
he's really getting there! (hobie is my cat)
his #'s were over 2800 last december and
this time....180!!!!

tonight we (gary and i) are going to attend
howie's retirment party. gary and howie
have worked together for more than 25 years.
i'm going to sneak my camera in and see
if i can't get some shots. this is a crazy goup
of people! who knows what'll happen!

did ya catch gray's anatomy last night?
i don't know about you, but i'd get that darn
check in the bank.
also, sidebar.....i thought that "izzy" quit the show
at the end of last season??? that was the rumour
anyway.


big weekend ahead! my niece, amanda, turns 6!
her "kid" party is saturday, late afternoon....they
are going to "build a balance", i mean "build a bear".
have you been to this place? you walk in, grab an
animal body, stand in line for the stuffing. place a
little satin heart inside it before they sew it up,
select an outfit (shoes & hat too) and then the child
gets to sit at a computer, name the bear and fill in
all your information in case it gets lost so it can be
returned to you! total........$$$$$75 IF you're lucky!
well sure, you can probably get out of there for
under 30 but just try!!!
i'm going to be there with my camera covering the
whole thing...it's really fun. you can book "parties" there.
then this poor 6 year old is having her tonsils out
on wednesday! ugh! poor thing.

okay, this will piss nicki off but gary and i are considering
staying at Lunata on 5th. nicki and i stayed there
last spring. great spot right in the middle of the
action on 5th avenue in playa del carmen mexico.
a block off the beach!
here's a few photos....
