Quadrant or continuum? Something to ponder before you fall asleep. Maybe you will dream the answer? Drink enough beer and you won’t care. If you are worried about it during sex you’re doing something wrong. So the solution is more chocolate. ---

I’m going to toss something out here just for the heck of it. \*\*FCD \*\*and I have been talking about doing a cruise into or thru the Panama Canal next year or early 2016. A HS friend of mine is a travel agent and she said it takes 8 cabins to get a group rate. So I’m asking around to see how many might want to give it a shot. If this happens, she will be the point of contact and she’ll handle everything - I’m just the instigator. 😃 There are 10- or 11-day in-and-out cruises that start and end in either Ft Lauderdale or Miami, and there are LA or San Diego to/from Ft Lauderdale or Miami - 14- or 15-days. My friend will also be able to handle flight reservations/transfers/whatever. No, I’m not getting any kind of finder’s fee - just looking to save some $$ if possible. First step is to see if there’s enough interest - I’ve thrown it open to local friends and family already and I figgered, what the heck - maybe some Mumpers would be interested. I don’t want to turn this into a thread of its own or take over the MMP with it. But if you might like to play, send me an email or a PM. Even if I can’t pull together a group, I intend to go with my sweetie. Oh, and the point of the group is to get the savings, not to hang out constantly. Heck, you don’t even have to acknowledge anyone else as far as I’m concerned. However, just the thought of a sea-going Mumpfest… :eek: 😃 ---

**MOOOOOOM** I don’t know about that. I picture a group of drunken, rowdy Mumpers takin’ over the ship and headin’ to the high seas to live the life of pirates. **HAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!** 😃 Oh and howdy from da cave. I was gonna make some tacos but OYKW says he has a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for fajitas so he’s takin’ me out for Mexican. I can deal with that! **spaz** microwave explosions are indeed way cool. Unless you’re the cause of the explosion and have to clean it up. Then, not so cool. Maybe I’ll take a nap and dream of chawklit, beer, and sex. ---

You’re losing it, \*\*bear \*\*- \*\*Spidey \*\*was the one trashing the microwave! 😛 We did a late lunch, so I don’t know what we’ll do about supper. At the moment, I don’t much care either. 😃 ---

The sky has just opened and the wind is blowing so strong, our front windows are wet. There’s a porch roof over our front windows, but it doesn’t seem to matter at the moment. Glad I’m inside… ---

And in less than 5 minutes, it stopped, but not before knocking loose a bunch of limbs and sticks - we’ll have to clear the yard before we can mow. ---

Steak, chikin, and shrimp fajitas have been ingested. Da bear is stuffded. Our local Mexican place makes fine fajitas. So it was **Spidey** who blew up a microwave. I bet **Spaz** would enjoy that however. 😃 ---

No, it was **Spidey** who watched someone else’s lunch go **BLORP** \* in the microwave. Mine was (loosely) covered & didn’t make even the slightest bit of mess. Interestin’ ride home, in a span of 10 minutes it went from dry, to roads totally underwater, higher than the curbs, to needing both wipers & sunglasses on. - To clarify the sound was **BOOM** , the visual; however, was more of a **BLORP** ---

**Spidey** any event that includs a **BOOM** and a **BLORP** is definitely worth seein’. 😃 In other news, I remembered the power bill was due so I paid it online. Go Me! ---

One more day. Can I make it? Then it’s three days of not driving and sleeping in all day. It has been awful windy which puts a damper on water activities. So, today we were slow at irk and even though I had a million things I could have been doing . I was in my office playing on my phone when a someone tapped on the door. I said come in. It was the Director and there was Lucky Louie right on top of my desk sleeping. He said oh! You have your baby today. Whew! Vip’s were visiting and he was just giving the heads up. So I went to the front office and thank Og Louie was quiet. I haven’t been to the real grocery store since hubby left over a week ago so I’ve been scrounging. Tonight I have another fish concoction. This one is tile fish. I marinated it in a Caribbean citrus marinade and baked it. I hope it will be good. Smells good. Firday can not get here quick enough. Tis been a long week. I will jet early if we are not too busy but with perfect weather forecasted I may not be able to. Gotta go eat! Have a good night all! ---

Irk is slow and that makes it irksome. I get to take the truck in tomorrow at 7:30 am to get an oil change and tire rotation. That will be three early mornings this week. I’m supposed to go out with my friend Saturday night to celebrate our birthdays, her husband is going to be the designated driver, but all things considered with my health issues I don’t know about it. I don’t want to let her down. I’d rather wait until after any procedures that need to be done get done. \*\*Doggio \*\* That looks interesting, where do I get some. ---
