Not always easy for me to reach so it helps to be married to someone that is 6'3" with arms longer than mine. Mine is wood but after 10+ years of having beds there are some weak sides that are starting to push out slightly. I also keep a ladder in the garden. 😆 My OT daughter that works at a nursing home is not too thrilled about the ladder but loves tomatoes... 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably be better off as a bench coach or some other assistant type job rather than manager. This will be his last job in Baseball,I assure you. Stranger outcomes in sports have occurred.In the 60’s I played two seasons of Semi -Pro Basketball.The team that I was on had the opportunity to play a team comprised of several members of the St.Louis Hawks.Every guy on my team had the best game of their lives and we won by 3 games.They demanded a rematch and we lost by many points.However,we had the win .

I'll tell you what, I will let you keep Adventure there if I can keep Allure in Ft. Lauderdale. 😁 Allure needs to stay in Galveston at least through January.

That changed when they started to routinely beat the Yankees in the playoffs. 😊 Duly noted. Was the original name based on the gun or the malt liquor drink? 😁 I still think the Brewers are in the NL. My late friend Dave,a Mets fan moved to a suburb of Houston where all of his new friends rooted for the Astros .Dave never gave up his love for the Mets.

Unfortunately, it's just a short 4-nighter to Cozumel over the holiday weekend, and Andrew will actually be missing school on Monday when we disembark and drive home. We are happy to be able to squeeze in a 2nd cruise this year even though it's a short one. That should be a nice trip and they do the cooking and cleaning for Thanksgiving makes it even nicer 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far people have reported the food is bad. We will see. If the food is real bad, check out Giovanni’s. Personal opinion but I think it's better than Jamies on other ships. It's never disappointed me. Ossobucco was one of the better dishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 20 years that I have been living in my condo development nearly every person I have met moved here from Brooklyn and are Mets fans . On the block my house is on nearly everyone moved here from the Bronx and all of them are huge Yankee fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
