======================
Aloha Ruth!
-> 
->  hn> Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> 
-> & Guten Tag to you.
->
Naturlich!
 
-> ->  hn> in a word, yes! (grin) But you don't
-> ->  hn> get to replay the game!
-> 
-> -> I know.  I applied to be a Rotary exchange student while in high school.
-> -> Ended up being the alternate; #1 decided at the last minute not to go
-> -> (various issues there) but too late for me to go.  If I had, I wouldn't
-> -> have met Steve.
-> 
->  hn> There are a few things I would have changed.
->  hn> Mostly having to do with finances and such.
->  hn> I'd have to say overall, I'm more blessed in
->  hn> life than I have any reason to expect, and
->  hn> for that I am duly grateful! I can honestly say
->  hn> that I'd never want to go through my youth
->  hn> again though!
-> 
-> For sure I wouldn't want to redo it! But, yes, there are some financial
-> issues that could have been reconsidered.
-> 
I would have started investing earlier, and 
kept on investing as much as possible.

-> ->  hn> I made split pea soup last week...boy was it
-> ->  hn> good! Lots of smoked ham chunks in it!
-> 
-> -> Sounds good.  I'm doing rib sticking meals this week.  Tonight will e
-> -> the lamb curry over rice and a green salad.  Steve said he saw a low of
-> -> 26.1 on our thermometer this morning, official post one on the air field
-> -> was 25.  Wind chill factor brought the "feels like" down about 10 more
-> -> degrees.
-> 
->  hn> Yes, we saw on the weather that it was one
->  hn> degree colder in Tampa than it was here!
-> 
-> It's finally (!) warmed up here; today was in the mid to upper 60s. We
-> were probably colder than you. (G)  BTW, the curry was nice and hot
-> (spicy hot); it got my sinuses draining.  I made some jasmine rice to go
-> with it and counter balance the intense heat.
->
We did get up into the 60's one day, but it was
a short lived foray into warmth, it was 32 when I 
got up this morning and snowing up north...but 
it stopped and is clearing up nicely now...but cold
-> 
-> -> ->  hn> declined, my rotator cuff is not what
-> -> ->  hn> it used to be...darn it!
-> 
-> -> -> Steve has that trouble. I just never was a good pitcher (or catcher 
for
-> -> -> that matter).
-> 
-> ->  hn> I'm tempted to have mine treated, but
-> ->  hn> I really would not gain very much for
-> ->  hn> the procedure...it's not like I'm going
-> ->  hn> to play baseball anymore.
-> 
-> -> Steve had his done in 2004 at Tripler.  Still not 100% but better than
-> -> it was, tho he's not going to try out for the major leagues tomorrow.
-> -> (G)
-> 
->  hn> exactly, if I had a need for that shoulder to
->  hn> be heavily used again I'd have it done..as it is
->  hn> I won't be very likely to gain any real benefit from
->  hn> the surgery so why have it.
-> 
-> Wait until you have grandkids and want to lift them up.  That's when
-> Steve really realised he needed the surgery; he tried picking up a 7
-> month old Robert.
->
If it ever becomes evident that I need the 
surgery I'll get it, no need for it right now.
 
-> ->  hn> Pretty much the same here, we ended up
-> 
-> -> Only thing I might have watched it for would have been the 
commercials.
-> 
->  hn> I think you can still find them online, I didn't
->  hn> really pay that much attention to them.
->  hn> Or the game.
-> 
-> I've got better things to do with my time. (G) Shows you how much I
-> really want to see them.
->
Well, I haven't looked for them either so 
I guess we are alike in that respect!
 
->  hn> According to interviews, he was a very big Cubbie fan. But since
->  hn> he's been traded to them I suspect he'd never admit to being a
->  hn> sox fan anyway!
-> 
-> We'll never know. (G)  Spring training starts this month--counting the
-> days?
-> 
Days? I'm counting the hours!
Pitchers and catchers report this friday!
chat with you soon!
