How did the Honda feel??? It must have been a wonderful day to be out in the countryside! People in Alaska have the same problems with darkness. For the fishermen who work mainly in the summer, they usually head to Hawaii in the winter. Still waiting for that European bid... painful!!!!!! How is everything else going? Are there any new discoveries that you can put your name on? I expect to see that sometime. As for here... not much is new. Work, eat, sleep, workout, work, eat, sleep...

WOW! I have reread this a number of times and it only gets better with each reading. Not too often am I at a loss for words. This is such a wonderful and moving essay and I do not have the words to express how much I appreciate you posting it. You brought up a very valuable point, about taking the drugs that are pushed. The side effects are sometimes so much worse than the problem. When you hear one of the side effects of a depression medication might be suicide... you have to wonder. Thank you!

Exciting weather... we had some pretty exciting thunderstorms in Florida yesterday. The power went out five times, with the last time being the longest. From about 22H30 until 05H14. The good news was that the thunderstorms brought in some cooler weather, so the house did not manage to get too hot. Back in Tennessee today.

My how time flies!!! Adulthood is so over-rated. Yes, you can do what you want when you want, or so you think, but that is only after you have taken care of your other responsibilities and that is if you are not too tired. Working to pay bills is a big junk of time.

Dear Krisluvsdogs, Wishing you a magnificent birthday!!!!! Hope this day is more than you expected with all your birthday dreams coming true!!! Of course, you will be unable to escape the ritual, so here goes... HAPPY HAMMIE BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY HAMMIE BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY HAMMIE BIRTHDAY DEAR KRISLUVSDOGS, HAPPY HAMMIE BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!! Now, make a wish, blow out all the candles and let us get this party started!!! Have a wonderful birthday!!! Horatio

The Armin van Buuren stage photographed amazingly well. What a stage!!! Again, thank you for posting the pictures and text, I really enjoyed you including me and everyone here.

The festival was held in Bicentennial Park. This photo was from the main stage, but there were five others I believe, possibly six, can't remember. We stayed at a friend's apartment at the Icon Brickell, it's attached to the Viceroy Hotel. Perfect location - it was a short five minute walk from Ultra and right in the heart of downtown Miami. We also had friends staying on South Beach, so on Saturday and Sunday we hung out there and went to WMC pool parties at the Shore Club and the National Hotel. Monday and Tuesday we stayed at the Icon and recovered from the wild weekend by laying at the pool all day. And now I'm back to reality, in the library on a Saturday night. Fantastic!!! I know exactly where you were. The photograph makes Bicentennial Park look so much bigger. Thank you for the photographs, they are wonderful. In particular, I really liked the second photograph. You are a natural for making your photograph composition perfect. I hope that you never give up this talent as you post some of the most wonderful pictures!!!

HAPPY HAMMY EASTER AND PASSOVER TO EVERYBODY!!!!! I just wanted to wish everybody a wonderful holiday, both Passover and Easter. May you all know that I am thinking of each and every one of you and wish you all the best during this special time of year! Horatio

LOL... you are good!!! As I was posting my post, you were uploading the photo. WOW!!!!, where was the concert held? That looks like a huge stage set-up. Great minds think alike!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such good news that you had a fantastic mini holiday!!! But... you did not upload a photo! I would love to hear where you stayed and where you ate. I lived in Coconut Grove and loved Miami.

Good news on the education front... I am a really fantastic professor who is a genius with computers. Here is a guy who can speak from experience. Yeah!!!

Well, I did it. I signed up for another course. Nine weeks beginning yesterday. I must admit that I like taking an online course, but it seems like you need to do more work than if you attended class. Cross your paws!

Snowstorms.... ohhhhhh, I feel so sorry for all those people who were blanketed with the white stuff. I hope the warmer weather arrives for you soon!!!

Okay... procrastination has gotten the better of me. Tomorrow is the first day of classes and I have not decided if I want to register. GRRRRRRR... why can I not make up my mind????? To go or not to go... that is the question.

That should teach you! Be careful what you post... if Facebook likes it, they own it. And you cannot take it back. *imagines Mega Wolf's boyfriend hearing they are engaged on an advertisement by Facebook* Ohhhhh... surprise! Wonderful that you stopped back in. I was wondering how you were doing. TBFOF stopped in on my topic. It was terrific hearing from him!

You were reading my mind!!! Congratulations, if all went well. If not, we are here for you!!!

I am just waiting for the bid. Uuuuggggghhhhhhhhhh. They said it was coming in January and this is... almost APRIL !!!!! As soon as the bid opens, you have a couple to four weeks for it to be open, then they place you in training, after you pass training, then you get a month to look for a place in Germany, then comes... the move!!!! So, in reality, maybe six months before I am actually there, if they were to get the bid out in the next couple weeks. And a year or two sounds right... they have been saying this for years and years. They opened the bid and I was locked into the B-777, now I am just waiting for the next bid to come along.

March 23rd is getting really, really close... *wonders how Topazia is doing*

Okay... we are on our new daylight hours, but guess what... a cold snap is arriving tonight! GRRRRRRRR!

Today we are hanging Easter Eggs from the tree in front of our window. Hopefully the cheery colours will urge spring to come faster.

Last night a play, Alabama Baggage, written by Buddy Farmer, with co-star Jody Fasanella, opened to a raving success!!!!! This is Buddy Farmer's third play and hopefully there will be many, many more to come. Jody blew the audience away with her performance! Let us wish them all a wonderful, long run at Theatre Asylum in Santa Monica, California!!!!!

Sounds like your life is going great!!! I have my paws crossed for your to get your second co-op and preferably your first choice of locations! You will have an amazing time at the Ultra Music Festival!!! Please do stop back in and let us know how it was, and perhaps you will have some pictures to upload. Toto never stops by. :-( Tell her we miss her and hope she is well and life is treating her the best. As for me... same old stuff. Not much new. Flying to the same destinations, which gets a little old. The B.777 has a limited number of cities because it only makes the big bucks on the long haul flights. USA to _______ (fill in the blank, as long as it is twelve plus hours away). I liked flying the Airbus as we had a zillion cities to choose from. For example, if you got tired of Lubbock, you could pick Spokane. I rated my cities on which ones had the best jogging routes. As for China, the smog is so bad that I never want to run outdoors. Narita, Japan has a terrific jogging route through the rice paddies and you can make a route either three or five miles long. There is not much smog, so I enjoy that city. Paris is always great because you can run along the Seine and that is spectacular. I have about three cities that I can enjoy my jog in and that is really limiting We are supposed to have a bid to fly Europe and I plan on bidding to fly there. Hopefully it comes along soon. I really look forward to living in Germany!

Very true! At least there are some people who come and visit me. :-) So, what is up with you?

Okay... this is the craziest weather. Cold, then warm, then cold. GRRRRRRRRR. I want the heat of summer!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! It is snowing today! Horrors! If it is snowing in Tennessee, it must be a blizzard in the Midwest! They are already without electricity in many places, and now more snow!!! Oh my!!!!!
