the Tonya Harding moment is too funny Pete. Even though I hope it didn't hinder the rest of the trip. Please don't tell me you were gripping the knee and crying "why?why?"
Thanks for telling the morons of your displeasure with their birdbrain idea of "keeping" the beautiful, and LIVING starfish! I love you for this...as I am SUCH an animal lover! Live and Let live. The are the same folks who take pieces of petrified wood from the national forests, or pieces of coral from the barrier reef...etc.
They still never cease to amaze me, and I thank you for the sense of protection you exhibited for these "voiceless" creatures.
Also...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, "TELL ME YOU ARE TAKING THE NEW 7=NIGHT WESTERN CARRIBEAN CRUISE"!? We are booked on the Magic in July, and I have no idea yet WHAT excursions will be offered, etc. You are so detailed and helpful with your posts...it would be appreciated more than you know.
You are a comedian Pete...the Jersey TP Ref. was hilarious...just like all the other inimitable things you wrote. You are "one of a kind", and a pure TREASURE to read! Thanks for the happy hoist, and all the supportive enthusiasm!
