Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife Chris!  Wish I was with you!  But she is celebrating with her sister Marie,  just like Chris’s 21st birthday.   Mary Jane and I left Albuquerque.   Mary’s plane left ABQ ok,  but she had hours of waiting in Dallas before they could get a plane to fly out of there.  And I told her it was a good place to transfer because they would not have weather problems!   But she made the most of the airport stores available in Superbowl town.

My plane pulled out of the gate to get de-iced, it was -5 in Albuquerque.   But then they could not get both engines to start.  So playing around, then back to the gate.   An hour of blowing warm air on some valves and we were ready to go.   Luckily my connection from Atlanta was late arriving,  and the 2 hours between flights I had left,   and I was off to Florida.

The weather here is fantastic.   It barely got below 70 last night.  And a bright sunny day.   I was up early to get some work in and wait for my cabinet installer to show up.  When he didn’t I started on the phone.   You know the story.   So no cabinets installed, and they don’t look quite as I expected to see them tonight.

So I took a long walk on the beach to burn off some steam.   The walk was great,  but I have never seen so many man-of-wars.  There must have been thousands of them on the beach.  The strong south east wind blows in from the caribbean and keeps us warm,  but brings the man-of war up also.   So I walked carefully and enjoyed the weather.  The city beach was full, everyone enjoying paradise.

    Cabinets look good! It’ll be a nice surprise to see them all installed when I finally get there. Thanks to all for the birthday wishes.
