Woo Hoo! I am all packed and ready to go. 
All I need to do now is go to work in the morning and somehow make it till 1:30 when I leave to go to the airport. 
Can you tell I'm a bit excited?

The lady who rides with me to work in the mornings gave me $20 today -- for me to go out to eat with or pay for a day's use of the fitness center at the hotel. Wasn't that sweet of her?
I stopped by the gym today to drop off "Rainman" and "Good Will Hunting". A few weeks ago my PT Eric and I were chatting and during the course of the conversation he mentioned he hadn't seen either of those. I felt strongly that situation needed to be rectified.

Guess what management was giving out today?!
FREE tickets to a local baseball team. These aren't just any tickets. These are Executive Level tickets - you get front row seating + FREE food in the Executive lounge. Hot dogs, burgers, nacho's w/cheese, ice cream, cookies . . .
The tickets also include parking passes.
There were about 10 different dates with 4 tickets/4 parking passes available.
I asked for two tickets for the July 5 game -- My dad's birthday!! Plus, because the game is so close to the 4th, they're going to have a fireworks show!
What a great way to treat my dad for his birthday -- and NO out of pocket expense for me (other than gas to get there.)
It will help make up for what I'm doing for him for Father's Day -- we're going to see the new Indiana Jones movie. Mmmm mmm Harrison Ford.

I was just telling my daughter today that Harrison Ford is still hot, even if he is amost as old as my father!!

I'm not sure how old he is, but I would guess he's about my dad's age as well.

My dad will be 65 in July, so I guess they are pretty close in age!

If you like fresh cherries, be sure to stop by a grocery store in CA and buy some. The ones we get here in Texas just can't begin to compare to West Coast cherries.
And I agree about Harrison Ford. Talk about aging gracefully! He's the Paul Newman of our generation!
