I'm going to take it easy today, since it's my birfday. (Not barfday—birfday.)
I'll be listening to the compilation CD a good friend sent me, and heading out to a real estate investment workshop in Santa Monica. Then I'll grill some chicken for my husband. (No, we're not going out this year. We're nesting.)
Please send prayer/positive energy to London and the Miami area.

I'm far too macha to let him do that. It works out well, since I'm the pyro in the family.

Happy Birfday!

Well, for some people the grill is a special-occasion cooking tool. For me, it's a way of life; I can't imagine giving up such a fun toy.
And I still use CHARCOAL! Yee-haw!

Charcoal is the ONLY way to go! Propane is silly. Not nearly so fun.
Depending, of course. Apparently some folks huff it for a high. A few days ago, a nice couple in Boca Raton came home from vacation to find a dead body in the back yard. The guy was wedged under the BBQ. His head was really jammed in there. Apparently he'd sneaked out back in their absense and overindulged.

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Your birthday mangoes are on the way. Seven of 'em.
It's all I could fit in the Priority Mail Flat Rate Box. You have to use that box, no other. BUT!...
You can send up to 70# for $7.70. The best deal around in small shipping, bar
none. I just learned about it.
I always used something trackable before - thus the FedEx's. Very reasonable at 3rd Day, but still much higher than the $7.70.
So I got to the PO yesterday to send them, and found out they'll do tracking - "Delivery Confirmation" - for an additional princely sum of $.45! So I got that, too. I could afford it.
These will be the ugliest mangoes yet. I had less to choose from this year. FPL cut a lot of branches off the mango tree, whcih sits by a power pole.
It's revenge. We're all hollering for them to bury the damn power lines and they don't want to spend the money. So they're decimating all our trees to get back at us.
Thus, the ugliest mangoes went in the box.
But boy are they good.
And these are very special mangoes.
They're Hurricane Dennis mangoes.
No, we didn't get the eye. But we had gusts that almost swept me off my feet. Right in front of the PO, too.
And on the beach, where I got sandblasted, beachcombing. It was great!
Happy birthday! Enjoy!
