Or two. Paul and I just got back from Michel and Brad's wedding. What an incredible event! Not a raindrop fell from the sky, after the weather report predicted rain all day. They were both incredibly happy and the party was such a success. There were friends and family from all parts and times of life.

I'm trying.Had a fabulous weekend at the beach. The weather was probably the best it's been all summer. We went to the beach both Saturday and Sunday. Michel cooked herself into oblivion with steak tenderloin and Brad almost knocked himself out bringing home 3 pound lobsters.

Actually it's not that funny, but it does make me feel like a rocket scientist! I was flying with a San Francisco cockpit crew, who were both weird, to say the least.

Finally, the day was here. Except for the snowy weather, everything went without a hitch.
The walk-through was quick and easy; the closing was even easier. I met Brian (the lawyer) for the first time. We were out of there in about an hour, with only a mild

It's not possible, but somehow I must have been in a time warp and it did happen. It wasn't my driving day. 1 hour from LGA to the Triboro Bridge, roughly 1/2 mile.

It wasn't as bad, (for me) as I had expected. It did net me a $100 tip, and I didn't even have to listen to any shit for it! Great layover...saw the movie CHICAGO.

Need you ask why I wish I was there today? Today I did a Chicago turn, which usually is quite undesirable due to the short flying time: 4:47. WELL, today it was worth 7:47. Our noon flight out of ORD to LGA was cancelled and we were relegated to the the 5pm (Yuch, dinner flight). So, what to do in O'Hare for 5:30?

Whew, it's done though. I researched all sorts of loads for Michel to go to St. Thomas, via San Juan.

Less luggage on a trip is not necessarily a bad thing. For $25 you can buy the essentials and make it through a short night in LA. It wouldn't have cost $25, had I not forgotten my suitcase!

Mr. Serra was out next door neighbor in River Vale for years. We used to play with his kids, hide in the woods, and swim all summer long. I was on a layover in SFO, and he has been living there since 1989. Mrs. Serra passed away about 6 years ago.

However, as I've been watching TV these last few days, I can't help but comment on the Dell Guy. I'd love to know who Dell's ad agency is, because they suck. I want to shoot that guy every time I see him. If I'd ever even contemplated buying a Dell, it's all over now. They are the most annoying commercials I've ever Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12052445124179124012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522484.post-821633802002-09-26T17:24:00.000-04:002002-09-26T17:27:02.000-04:00EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE BULBSUp again early,...6:30am, so I decidee to be functional, so off to Home Depot to buy bulbs. It seems I always think about spring flowers in the spring, but by then it's too late to plant. I got a little carried away, I think I bought about 200 bulbs!

For all 4 of you who read this blog, I thought I'd update. I don't really remember what happened in the last 12 days, but I'll try to recap.It was great to go back to Wildwood for the NJ State Fireman's Convention.

I do use the term loosely. A brighter part of the day was a great weather day, and being able to be out there with my sweetie.

The Jackals game was fun. Great tailgate...relaxing and just like camping..peeing in the woods and all! The Jackals won and are in the first round of the playoffs starting September 4th.

I hope none of the many drugs I am now injesting are not illegal. I was greeted at the jetbridge door with a friendly face who said, "Hi Sue, I've got you tapped for a drug test." Oh, wonderful.

First, no one should be able to have as much fun as I had in my last 3 weeks. It must be illegal. 2 euflourious! weeks at Ortley Beach. Joey Harrisons made the beach an observers delight.

I did make if through my first trip back. Actually, it was a pleasant trip, with a good crew and fair to midland passengers. The passengers usually ruin a good flight! I had a great layover. It was about 73 degrees, so off to the beach I go. California is fantastic as far as their bike and running paths.

It's been almost a week since my last blog....and I feel like I'm at confession! I must say I'm enjoying the time off from work, but I better get back soon, because this is quite easy to get used to being a woman of leisure. I return on Monday.

I decided to break down and see Dr. Volpe yesterday, and damned glad I did. Seems bronchitis is the diagnosis and the cure will be levaquin. 10 tablets for 10 days...guess that means no wine for me. Judi told me that it made her dizzy

Got some kind of a cold germ in my travels and now am forced to pop pills: zinc, vitamin C, cold remedy and any other that seems to calm the symptoms. On the lighter side I went to the doctor today to get a bone scan and the good news is that I have higher than average bone density. So osteoporosis shouldn't be a problem...that should be the least of my worries!

What a stupid idea! Staying up late so I could sleep late. I first woke up at 5am, read my book til 6am and then dove under the covers to try to get a few more hours. Well, I was up at 7:20; I guess it looks good on NY time, but I'll be up til 2am.

Just coming off 6 well earned days off and it's like I never left. I hate the 5 o'clock trips. I'd like them much better if I could come in pajamas.

The SAAD trip has come to an end. I had a fantastic time with my 3 kids! It was time to bring them back to their rightful parents, because 2 of them were broken.

Well, the plan was in place: We were to board the Voyager III at 9:10am to go to the Stellwagen Bank to view whales and possible seals. So far so good.
