MY dad's sister Edna, my mom's brother Vince, and the birthday girl herself, Lucille.Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. We are on vacation this week.
We went to Kansas City Monday and Tuesday and had a BBQ at my parents house for my mothers birthday.
My sisters, Connie and Diann, and their husbands were there along with two of my nephews, Chad and Nick, and their kids.
Good food and good times.
Just glad they all left when they did....

Friday
We were trying to go to Yankee Stadium today. We wanted to go see the House That Ruth Built.
But the tickets on eBay were just going for too much $$$$$$. So we abandoned the idea.
The bonus to going was that the Kansas City Royals are in town to play the Yankees in a weekend series.
Just a couple of more days to work for this month. But I do have recurrent simulator at the end of this month.
Going to have to try and talk scheduling into letting me go home a day or two early.

Newark
Not much happening this week. Just sitting at the hotel in Newark.
August seems to be our slow month for the past few years.
I am going to get a limo ride from Newark to JFK. Then I will ferry an aircraft back to Newark.
Planning on going to Yankee Stadium tomorrow night. And as an added bonus, the Yankees are playing my beloved Kansas City Royals.
As some of you know, I used to have season tickets to the Royals (from 1977 to 1982). Then I worked for the Royals as "Event Security" from 1983 to 1986.
So now I get to go see the House that Ruth Built, and where infamous "Pine Tar Game" with George Brett #5.

Words of wisdom
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals.
So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.
Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first . The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now....what is the moral to this story?
The moral is..... If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get....
UGLY!
