Good morning.
Is that a traveling exhibit, Debbie? We did the Titanic museum in Branson a few years ago. I don't remember what kind of crew member I was given a card for, but my guy didn't make it. Cecilia's survived, IIRC.
Not much happened yesterday other than going to the storage place to put our luggage back and a nap. Please resist feelings of envy over our very exciting day.

Good morning and Happy Screw Up Dating Your Checks Week!
I wanted to go to sleep when they were done in Times Square, but Cecilia insisted on making sure the year was really over, so we stayed up and watched the Westminster Dog Show Agility Competition on one of the free streaming services. If you find yourself in need of an overdose of cuteness, I absolutely 10/10 recommend it.
We have tickets to see UT play UT-Arlington today. I only recently learned that's a thing, but I guess it is. It's not really in keeping with the prohibition on big entertainment during the mourning period thing, but a friend of Cecilia's invited us and it's been so hard for her to build a friendship circle here, that I don't want her to have to say no to invites on my account because she won't drive down there solo. I'm going to assume that there's got to be loop hole for cupcake games like this.

Happy 2024, Louis - yes, it is a traveling exhibit. The museum sounds much better. We love watching the dog Westminster dog competition. We watch on YouTube.
I slept right through the fireworks last night. They are so loud I can’t believe it. We had a quiet couple of days. There wasn’t a New Year’s Day swim today, it is to cold. Tomorrow should be almost 70. Ted turns 68 tomorrow, I’m trying to get him to decide on something he wants to do.
We watched some fireworks displays from world cities and so far London impressed.

Good morning. Happy birthday, Ted! Back to routine today, except that the alarm woke me up instead of me getting up 15-20 minutes ahead. I guess only one cup of coffee this morning before services. 🤷 The game was okay. The seats were 4 rows from the floor. Arena was half empty because I presume Texas fans had something bigger on their minds yesterday with the Sugar Bowl. The atmosphere at IU games was a lot more intense when I was in school.

Happy Tuesday, Brenda - Ted thanks you for the birthday wishes. I really want a spin bike, what brand did you get? Lori- enjoy your time in sunny Florida. Ted says thank you. Louis - a half empty event sounds sad for the players but great for you. Ted says thank you.
Today started with a good,breakfast of pancakes and French toast, then train ride to the lovely town of Gandia. Ted found a wonderful restaurant for lunch. Then back to the city to attend a remembrance service for our friend that passed away. Very full day.

Good morning.
So we're all agreed that nobody is going to tell Lori about what happens when freak snow hits in the South, right? 🤣
Reentry was okay yesterday. Busy day because we have to have payroll ready for review by Friday and everything changes with the new year; raises, new deductions, etc. It takes a few days when the payrolls after can be knocked out in an hour.
Hemming and hawing about scheduling my next Louisville trip. Maybe the last weekend of January...

Happy Wednesday, Louis - I think Lori is far enough south to not have any snow worries. Will Cecilia go to Louisville with you.
Today is quiet. I started with a Barre workout because my right shoulder is really unhappy with me. The weather today is very nice, sunny and 70’s, just perfect.

Good morning.
Cecilia won't be going on this trip. Louisville is mentally exhausting for her and she hasn't rebuilt her strength yet from the Brazil trip.
We're expecting yoyo weather in the 50's and 60's for the next week or so before an alleged cold snap (40's) kicks in.
She's going to take today to figure out something to replace the Israel trip, targeting mid-February. Thinking maybe a cruise from Buenos Aires (another bucket list item) to Santiago, Chile by way of Cape Horn and Terra del Fuego. We ran quick numbers on it and it would be a little more than the Israel trip, but it's also a week longer.

Happy Thursday, Louis - I hope Cecilia gets time to rest and recharge after her exhausting trip. Your holiday plans sound amazing. Your weather sounds like mine. The prediction says cold next Wednesday.
This I did Pilates following Move with Nicole on YouTube then LesMills has a new series called Bend, it is a 30 minute class holding stretches a long time. I love it.

Good morning.
A nice long stretch sounds must like what the doctor ordered, Debbie.
I did a telemed appointment to finally get instruction on what to do about this sinus infection, so I'm on the behind-the-counter Sudafed and Flonase. If things don't improve by Monday, then they'll put through a steroid prescription.

Happy Friday, Louis - I didn’t know you were sick, sorry. I hope the meds work. Telemed sounds really cool. We don’t have that. LesMills keeps adding new workouts and it’s only $120 per year.
Today I did body pump, I hope my shoulder doesn’t get too mad . The weather is beautiful but the humidity is terrible this winter. The three Kings arrive today, biggest day of the year for the kids. They arrive to the port by boat then a parade to city center. I can see them them from the terrace. So many people are getting the flu or Covid. I get my Covid booster on Monday.. it’s late because I was so sick earlier.
