I plan to be there.

Mango and Banana are sick, so everything is tentative, but as of now I plan to be there.

one thing I should mention right away, seeing as you seem to never work. Being my housewife would be a full-time job, Frisco, don't count on more than 2 months of vacation per year. And at least a third of it would have to be spent with me.

I will be skiing down the slopes of Winter Park, CO that day.

Actually, I'll be flying on a plane to go skiing down the slopes of Winter Park, CO that day, but it doesn't sound as good.

Have fun guys and remember Joe's advice. Always bet on the guy with the most vowels in his name.

I was going to post a link, but the board is broken....seriously, it is. I hit the URL button, as I always do, but it keeps printing like this:

As I thought until I was about thirty or so, Jai Alai and Fronton are two towns that are in many states, and often right next to each other.

Signs on the highway always say:

Jai Alai
Fronton

(Fronton is the place where the game is played.)

Well, I really did think they were two towns. I though this for way too long. but there you have it.

I love Jai Alai. I was so sad when they closed the CT one down.

They did?

[Frown]

The CT one was legendary around here, in a "Northernmost Jai-Alai" kind of way. A LOT of people like to bring it up in conversation (at the Jai-Alai fronton, that is).

I am also jealous. [Frown]

Why do I live too far south to just hop in the car and hang out with you guys? [Grumble]

Yeah, like 5 years ago. It was a sad time. Well, at least until I turned 21 and had other gambling avenues open to me. [Smile]

Ela, you just finally got rid of me. Are you a masochist? [Razz]

Iccy, sounds good. I have no idea where I'm going or how I'm getting there. Gimme a call if and when you're sure you can go, and we'll figure things out.

Sure. I'll also call you if I have any other free time. I have rehearsal on Wednesday (if we were farther along, I'd invite you to watch if you wanted to, but we're still just at blocking) and one night this weekend I have to go watch our school's production of Little Shop of Horrors. This afternoon I need to take the girls to the doctor. Crud, that reminds me I forgot to make an appointment. >_<

Guess so. [Wink]

Plus, I'd like to see Icky and other central Florida clumpers who might be able to attend. [Smile]

I'm still mad that he and Cor came to south Florida and we just couldn't figure out a way to work out getting together (nobody's fault, just bad timing). [Grumble]

Okay. My father's at my house taking care of Mango, who is sick, and somebody called and asked for Joe. When he said "No. This is Joe's father," whoever it was hung up.

Weird.

Greater Orlando

(The Jai-Alai is actually in Maitland, which I think is ever-so-slightly closer to you, right?)

Mango seems better, so looks like we will get together, albeit a little later than post time.

Chris or anybody else, if you feel like joining us, just make your own way there (since I'm not going to hang out by the computer to see who can join us). Chris, if you still have my cell phone number, feel free to call me.
