Any natural disasters in Joannie's area? She has been quiet lately...

I don't know, but I played a little joke on her when I left for vacation and if she ever finds me here in NY, I'll be the victim of a natural disaster.

I likewise don't know about Joannie's area of Oklahoma, but here is SE Kansas (and SW Missouri and Iowa and Indiana, etc), we have people shopping for Arks! We haven't had the destruction like Iowa is experiencing but we are only a few inches of rain short of our annual average.

I'm back. Glad you guys missed me, steaks and picb. Took a little trike trip. Did 6 states and 1500 miles (no interstates) in 7 days. And did not get rained on. AR, TN, MS, LA, TX and OK. Had a great time, but unfortunately, it will take me a month to catch up at work.

Wasn't this the trip you were taking on your motorcycle? Sounds like a great time!

joannie

Yes, we went on our trike. Had a blast. Spent some time on Beale Street in Memphis, visited the casinos in Tunica, MS, took a dinner cruise on a riverboat on the Mississippi River, traveled down the Mississippi Delta to Vicksburg, toured the city, then went on down to Natchez. Visited a couple of tribal Indian mounds, a Confederate Civil War Cemetary, then wandered back across Louisianna to Tyler, Texas, then home. Met some really nice people along the way. It is surprising how much more fun it is to travel when you stay off the interstates.

Welcome back, Joannie! I missed you! Glad you enjoyed your time away. My vacation starts Friday. Woohoo!

joannie

Q, be careful! It's really soap when you get back.

HRQ

True, but I will be rested and possibly even have a tan, so I seriously doubt anyone will want to hear me complain. x:-)

So thats the kind of vacations you take when you dont have kids? Sounds fun. Welcome back, Joannie.

Now get to work. Can you imagine how many e-mail forwards you have to catch up on?

joannie

Paul, you will be glad to know I deleted all 368 of them without opening a single one.

I'm proud of you. You should get some kind of chip or something.
