Just wanted to say hi everyone and get caught up on what I've missed.
We've been home for a couple days..but the heat from CA followed us back to MA.

San Fran was great. We caught the Monday night Red Sox game in Oakland...Jon Papelbon actually signed my wife's (wow...hadn't typed that yet...scarey) ball cap!! Great guy..wished us the best on the honeymoon. Lots of pics to get developed!!
Sonoma was great for her...ok for me...there's only so much wine and cheese one guy can take!! lol
Then it was on to South Lake Tahoe. Lots to do...we did some sight seeing and took a dinner cruise on the lake. The casinos there stink...I'd be better off taking the hour drive to Foxwoods!!

But other than the ball game..there was little in the way of cards..or sports.

So instead..we tanked up on seafood at Pier 39 and Irish coffees at Buena Vista. But officer..I only had 7 cups of coffee...lol

All is good...getting ready to add $10K in Jordan's to my Ebay store. And still trying to get back into the groove...
Not much different with PSA either...still waiting on 2 huge subs....common guys..the wedding bills are coming!!!! OUCH...

    Welcome back; hope the honeymoon isn't really over....wasn't the Buena Vista incredible? I wish I had a piece of that action.

    As long as you've mentioned it - what is it with women and wine country? I know it's supposed to be romantic, but where's the romance in vintner after vintner trying to get you to buy their dessert wines?

    Congrats. I wish I had been paying attention as you hit all my stomping grounds (SF, Sonoma and Tahoe) so I would have loved to give you some recommendations. Next time! Anyway, congrats to you! We are at 5 years of marriage today. 2 kids later life is a little different than 5 years ago! Enjoy!

    Cool story about Papelbon, glad to hear he's unaffected by his recent fame. I agree about Foxwoods, we are pretty lucky to have one of the biggest casinos in the world right in our backyard...

    Thanks for all the well wishes!!

    Some pics came back today...others hopefully this weekend.

    Now to unbury my scanner!! My desk looks like a disaster..more papers and bills from the last 2+ weeks...can't wait to get to the basics and just scan and list...lol


    MorrellMan..Buena Vista charges for the week..hot off the the calculator... $243.00 THAT'S alot of Irish coffee baby!! lol


    what is it with women and wine country? I know it's supposed to be romantic, but where's the romance in vintner after vintner trying to get you to buy their dessert wines?

    I can't figure this one out either...I did a couple of taste tests...they all stunk until Sebastiani!! They are now making and "unoaked" line...so there isn't that bitter taste.
    Other than that, the Mrs. did more than her fair share..while I drank coffee.
    But there is something in the air there...the women love it!! The do not disturb sign got alot of use!! Amen to that...lol

    And SETS..no Mike C had a couple but pretty much behaved himself! I had his daughter out dancing with my girls 1/2 the night though....they seemed to have a great time. We did get to go out for seafood a couple of days before...so it was a good trip!! And we got alot done with the listing software..so that will help you out in the long run too..lol
