Yes! Your memories and nose seem to be working smashingly! Mom used vinegar for a variety of things. Laundry to take out the smelly smells and to whiten things up! But she would also set it out at night to take odor out of the air! Dad made mention of your calls in route, however couldn't get to much detail because it was Jim's birthday and we had made him wait to open presents, it was 8:30 p.m., he was antsy! Had to cut dad off! Will call this a.m. Love you and stay safe!
Bloody Mary's have got vodka, worcestershire sauce (dash) and tomato juice in them. Virgin Mary's don't have the vodka. maybe the tomato juice was off! worcestershire sauce is a little spicy and could be why it tasted a bit of vinegar...
from your personal trainer Gary, I'm wondering if you're drinking LOTS of water? hee hee.
sounds like you are having fun. You write like you talk! Night Night
In Flight Hi,
Don't neglect to relate your thoughts as you fly over various parts of the world enroute to Singapore - I have really enjoyed your emails - include them in your Blog, as well. You should be near Singapore as I write this. Was that Mary Fran who blistered you a bit? DAD
Get that guy on the Bridge!! The only thing better than that picture would be to see the police, in those funny tall hats with their clubs drawn, running up in the background to chase you off!! Great stuff Gary. Oh, I've seen some of your destinations but, is NJ on the agenda??
am i not supposed to know gershwin?
please..i saw the houston symphony do an american in paris..
who's the one watching espn in one of the greatest cities in the world?
hm?
hi daddy. you sound like you're having fun.
Staying Connected Temps are rising in Houston. Records expected this week. Time of year even us die hards begin to tire of the heat and humidity.
Love the latest pictures. Very interesting especially with your commentary.
Lots of football surprises this weekend. Biggest not shown on the Web. Danny's team playing coaches archrival and Pres of the SCFL. In short 15 penalties us 1 them. Three times refs added time to the clock in the last 2:20. Buzzer goes off on last play Rams win 12 - 7. Ref calls us back and puts 1 second back on clock. Ravens run it in from 20. Rams lose 13 - 12. Kids were devastated. Will have to show you film when you return.
Back to the grind but only working 4 this week. B-day on Friday. Our good friends from Va coming in town.
Did you hear the latest on Chris? Lump in the neck. Results on Tuesday. Praying it is reactive tissue. Keep the prayers going.
Take car.
Wowie Kazowie! Gary you are doing an absolutely amazing job taking us through your travels. It is so much fun and the pics are great and you are extremely literate! And all this time I thought you were just a pretty face and a buff body. Keep up the good work--we miss you and stay safe but not sober!
What a Journey! Your trip, thus far, sounds and looks spectacular!Kudos on the photography; I'm very impressed. Scotland is now on my list of places I want to visit. For a girl who wanted to grow up to be a princess, the idea of a castle, atop a butte, overlooking a beautiful countryside, is quite appealing :-) Life here is status quo. Tuesday is looming just around the corner. . . Part of me can't wait to get the results; the rest of me is just frightened. By the way, thank you for thinking about Chris while on vacation - very touching! Continue having fun and staying safe. Twanies misses you (as does your gaggle of women friends).
Pictures Hi,
You are taking really great pictures. Did Judy teach you how to use the camera before you left?
I cannot remember you being a "picture taker"!!
Continue to have a great time. I hope you gave my best to Duncan and Iza (and, of course, Bill and Muriel). Love DAD
Very cool pictures at St. Andrews! Cubs won again today against the Cards! Have beat the Cards 9 times this year, so far! Going to the game tomorrow! Keep up the writings, we all love every one! Jimmy was even telling someone in our car pool about Uncle Gary in Scotland! Love ya!
The Memories Got a picture on the same bridge. Coming up 18th with my best friends from Asheville. Couldn't get any better. I am so envious. Agree with Kevin that we are living through your experiences.
Cubs are toast. Astros hanging on. I expect great stories from both you and Kevin when you get to Bankok.
11:30 cst. Becoming the norm rather than the exception. Crazy.
Take care.
Gary -
You need to keep your comments up to date as it's the first thing I look at when I get to the office - it's always disappointing when there is nothing new since I'm living vicariously through you.
As to your desire for the Bangkok foot massage, typical one lasts about 90 minutes and costs around 150 baht that’s about 3.60 in greenbacks. It’s almost criminally low so we usually tip very large and give them $5.
Finally, I think Cubs are toast you should transfer your allegiance to the White Sox.
See you when you get to Bangkok.
Go Cubbies Cubs Win! 8-2 road trip. A little too late though! Sounds like you are having a spectacular trip. Johnny scored three goals again today in soccer! He is now at 14 goals in 6 games! Look forward to your writings everyday! Might be the closest I ever get to Europe!
Berlin Hi, Sounds like a fabulous beginning to your jouney. Hope the pictures improve! Leave some fun for us - we're doing Prague, Budapest and Vienna in April, 2006. Is it a mistake not to include Berlin? Love, Dad/Marguerite
As I ponder what to do next in my life after finishing a nearly 20 year career in consulting, I'm going around the world to see good friends and new sights.... full info
