Okay, waiting for the invite...

That all sounds delicious. My mouth is watering, and now I have to wait two hours for some sort of fast-food lunch! That's just wrong, Charlene!

Ha Ha!

That's all I'm saying! Having done a few, it's really not worth the unreasonable sense of entitlement that people put themselves through over it.

Hell, we were on what should have been Solstice's second sailing and I expected nothing - got nothing - and I was happy for it.

But you know, I did go to the gift shop and buy a baseball cap for $15.99 that says "Solstice Inaugural Sailings."

I sure didn't expect Celebrity to give me one, nor fault them for not giving me one.

Three weeks nothing. We have had 2 100 degree days already.

Yeah, what he said. What BOTH He's said.

Yuck! That's a real shame. It's been unseasonably cool around here for a few weeks. We even got a little drizzle yesterday!

Definitely trying to enjoy it, though, because soon enough we'll be matching y'all degree for degree.

Texas compared to LA... Hmm, at least you can go to the coast for the breezes. All we can do is go to East Texas for the humidity (Galveston is 7 hours away)

Oh, I'm not arguing or debating it. I love it here, and I wonder why anyone would live anywhere else?

Just don't get started with the whole earthquake discussion. I'd rather not have any warning when the next natural calamity is going to strike...

Good morning from hot & steamy Florida

Really bad storms yesterday. The space shuttle launch for today was scrubbed because they couldn't fuel it .....way too much lightening....5,100 recorded strikes in an hour.

Wow, really? Anyone for a nice game of golf?
