->  hn> AND it was snowing this morning (27th) as well! This is the
->  hn> latest snow I can remember here in the great northwet!
->

(grin)

free

-> 
->  hn> Yummmmmmmmmm! Sampleeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

-> Some good, some not so. In my senior year, they first started a boy's

-> 
She was very lucky...most DI's don't like to be

who corrected him!! Keep your eyes forward and 
your mouth shut...First two rules of bootcamp (grin)!

our 35th wedding anniversary, the trip is my 
present to her. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
are work days for me at the Ballpark! Yay!!! Baseball
