Just think you will never be able to take a vacation or go to a wedding or do any of that if you tell them you will be there on the 4th of each month.

I was in Egypt a couple weeks ago including Nile cruise, To Vegas on wed, to Dallas for semi annual review of apt project I have and grand sons' graduation, home for a week then cruise in Norway, back for couple weeks, to utah in early July for sons' wedding then bringing them all to cruise off fl, and home for 3 weeks and then big cruise in the Galapogos islands.

Also found out today that the 10 trees on the property were cut 1/2 way through and the neighbors saw him trimming trees last Wed.

Anthony, I'm back in FL for onr day then going to a seminar and expo in Vegas wed.

the addendum that "...upon 7 days notice he must sell them all to me" may actually come back to roost (a poultry theme).

i still can't believe they are having an elvis themed cirque du soleil show....ugh!

I'll be attending wed auction prepared on 2 others , if they go through.
