Hi Hap,

->  hn> NASA while the boat was in the drydock
->  hn> and my "space" was just a hole in the
->  hn> hull! So I was in Florida at the time (grin)

-> And no Disney World to go to yet.  Was Busch Gardens open?

 hn> Have no idea at all (grin) the Missle Lounge was
 hn> open in Satlelite Beach...I never got any further
 hn> than that!

And you didn't care to go any further than that at the time I suspect.
(G)

->  hn> closed, we had snow blowing in (the stadium
->  hn> is open on the sides even when the roof is closed)
->  hn> and it looked like a snowstorm in the park...happily

-> Even better if you brought hot soup and such like in your lunch.

 hn> No hot soup, sandwich and celery with an apple

You probably wished you had some hot soup then. (G)


->  hn> it was not sticking!

-> That's not fun, couldn't test your pitching arm with snowballs. Now that
-> would have made a fun fan fest activity.

 hn> We did have a speed pitch "booth" where
 hn> you could pitch some balls and have the
 hn> radar readout...Most folks threw in the
 hn> high 30's a few got up to the 70's.

I probably couldn't get too fast.  Ever see the movie "The Rookie"? The
scene where Dennis Quaid pitches a ball past the "Speed Limit XX MPH;
Your Speed ZZ" is funny.  Still a snowball pitch out would have been a
fun thing for the kids.

->  hn> visitors on each day so it was a really good turn
->  hn> out considering the weather!

-> Yes, and everybody had a good time, despite the cold.

 hn> Yes, The ones who came out were
 hn> dedicated fans and like me, they were
 hn> anxious for baseball! One of the new

I'm not as into it as I was in high school. Got more things to get my
attention these days but I still follow the Mets, if nothing else, by
the newspaper sports section.

 hn> kids we aquired during the off season
 hn> (Aaron Heilman) was there...then the
 hn> day after the fan fest, he got traded
 hn> to the Cubbies!

That's the way it goes, hope he hadn't gotten too settled in yet.
