I enjoy crossword puzzles, but I don't have the brains for the NY Times versions. I do enjoy the TV Guide puzzles.

Vixmom, is your new office any closer to your house?

TCB · « **Reply #125 on:** November 23, 2014, 09:37:06 PM »

I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, or did until I started adopting cats.

The two do not work well together.

I don't quite understand those jigsaw pieces with many thousand of pieces. Some of the pieces that you can't even figure out what is the color supposed to be.

Oh dear, I hope Vixmom hasn't fallen asleep at her computer!

I have a dear friend (okay an ex) who lives in Arizona. We had a nice two-hour chat on the phone this evening. He is a very nice man, but he comes from wealth, so we don't always see things in the same light.

Vixmom! Wake up!

TCB · « **Reply #131 on:** November 23, 2014, 09:50:02 PM »

i really don't think that will help.

Anyway, my ex asked me to go on the Queen Mary II with him next summer. I am .not going to hold my breath. This is not the first time he has invited me along on a cruise that never came about.

The biggest problem is the fact that really hates to fly. That was no big deal until he quit drinking. The only way to get him on a jet was to more five or more drinks in him before boarding. And he alway flew First Class, because they would bring him another drink before take off.

He was in a plane crash when he was serving in Korea.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** November 23, 2014, 10:04:43 PM »

He still insists on flying First Class, although now it is a ridiculous waste of money.

I mean, no matter how nice the china and the silverware may be, it is still airline food.

TCB · « **Reply #137 on:** November 23, 2014, 10:12:39 PM »

So, basically, he goes and books these cruises, but when the time comes, he is so nervous about the flying that he cancels the trip.

Three year ago, he booked a cruise on the Queen Mary from Southampton around the tip of Africa and ending in Australia. Cunard even threw in the cruise from New York to Southampton. So all he had to do is fly from Arizona to NYC.

Only problem, he would have to fly home from Australia. A month before the cruise, he called them up and cancelled the whole trip.

Yikes! Why even bother booking the cruise to begin with? $:-\$

I spoke with DR Kate. Unfortunately, she and her husband and dog had to leave the house. The fire marshall came and said something about needing another way to exit in case something happened. It looks like they'll have to replace the roof. They're staying with her husband's sister.

I think he really believes he can do it, but at the last minute he chickens out.

George, when did you get home?

Patiently (not) awaiting George's thought on the Sandy CD and perhaps an Amazon review?

I have only listened to it once (and loved it), and want to hear it again before commenting (most favorably).

Tonight I ushered for a couple of flamenco dancers, Mariana Collado and Carlos Chamorro. Their "band" consisted of two guitars, a violin and two vocalists. It was a wonderful evening! So much energy. They got a deserved standing ovation.
