Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[h20skibum]

And just like that, that $100 my grandson got, was spent on sports memorabilia.  
 

When he was over to our house, he asked if I had any from when I was growing up.  I said no, all my baseball cards ended up in bicycle spokes, then were thrown away. (Oh, what some of those are worth now!)

 

So I told him, all I have is a 1960 Pirate’s World Series pennant with a team photo.  Both his, and my SIL’s eyes lit up when I gave it to them.  It is now hanging in their man cave. 

 

And yes, that is Roberto Clemente in the bottom right.

Did anyone else see the story about a passenger attacking a magician onboard quantum.   He was upset when the magician did a fake kiss to get a card out of the mouth of a woman, presumably his wife or partner.   

Poor magician.

Yes I saw it on Tony's video two nights ago. I didn't see what ship.😂Yes poor magician.

Speaking of winning things, it appears that my niece won the “Hunt Like A Girl Plus One” contest. (I know that probably sounds politically incorrect in more than one way).  

 

Anyhow, the contest was sponsored by NSSF and Beretta, and the winner gets a four day, all expense paid trip to Kansas, and it includes safety training and hunting.  The “plus one” means they can take another woman with them to introduce them to, or make them more confident in hunting. She will be taking the custodian from her school, who retired this year. 

 

There was a 10 day, online voting period that ended last Friday, and you could vote once per day.  She managed to get almost 4 times the votes as the nearest competitor.  It probably helped that her hometown newspaper had a front page story, with a voting link. 

 

She won one of their past contests, and they get a lot of nice gear to bring home with them.

The East Coast of the US is expected to be getting a Noreaster tomorrow.

Parts of NY may get as much as 18” of snow.

No, I didn't even know he liked country music. His friend does and the opportunity for free seats came up. He loved it, they had a great time

I know about the south and snow.  I took my family along to a conference in Mobile, Alabama one year, thinking we could get away from the winter.  As it turns out, it snowed while we were there, and everyone was in a full blown panic.  They closed everything for a little dusting. 

In the South, forcast snow is coming and the bread sells out at the store! 

I used to audit school districts.   One time at a rural school the superintendent called off school before it started snowing after another superintendent called him and told him how much it was snowing at his district miles away.  😳 

I thought that was crazy but several hours later I looked out the window and I was snowed in.  😆

Lucy not happy with us going away. Where did they go?

My part of NY will get either 2-4" or 8-11", depending on where the infamous "rain/snow line" sets up. Living about an hour inland & higher elevations, that line is almost always to the south of me (more snow) but once in while it's north of me (more rain).  And since I live in that portion that's variable forecasters are always divided.

 

On weather maps where they show the regions that are getting 2-4", 4-8" and 8"+ and so on? It seems like the line dividing those regions runs right thru my house. 😄

My daughter who has a residence in Delaware County just called me and said that her area expects about a foot of snow.

Congratulations to your niece, and what a great idea to bring her school's retired custodian!  I'm all for anything that promotes girls doing things that are traditionally male focused.  There is still too much of a stigma, particularly between girls, of girls doing "boy things".

Today would have been my mom’s 100th birthday.  She, at least, made it to 91

I worked for a company that never closed because it was snowing.They expected all the employees to find a way to get to work .I actually did not have any problems getting to work but getting home was unreal.Many nights I left my office at 4:30 and did not get home till after midnight.

I just made my entries for March Madness.This year I did it through the company that one of my son in law works for .

He laughed when he heard my picks However,I told him there are always upsets .

Sailing in 3 days on our rock and romance music charter on summit out of Miami, we are required to take a Covid test which we did this morning and we are both fine. Flying to Miami Wednesday staying at the doubletree with view of the pier. 
Visiting my brother in Fy Myer for a couple of days after cruise, he has a theater there and we will see one of his plays.

  Bad news is when we get back we are having our kitchen updated new tile , appliances, counter tops , so I will be in a construction zone for about a month . Currently planning a trip Memorial Day to New York City then on to Buffalo, we haven’t booked that yet .
