Good morning, Minnes. It is sunny but a bit cool, in that the wind is from the east this morning and there is a big iceberg in the St.John's harbor........which is just east of where I live. Still, for the next few days, sunshine and mid to high teens weather is predicted. For those going camping on this holiday weekend, it shall be fine weather for them this year. I shall be home gardening.

Dr, Macnutt etc
You can view this auction result to see the picture of the Crusader Rabbit comic, I didnt win, too high for me right now, although the guide would put this at $450 in mint, so this was a good buy for the winner. here it is
Just thought I would drop by and wish everyone a safe and happy weekend. It has been cool and wet here, but we hope to see sunshine on Saturday. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Good evening, all. I am still alive, just Macless. No word on the little Lombard at this point. It is nice to be away for some time and come back to find that others were thinking of you, though.
Thanks, minnes, for considering me at the brunch, which I missed I am sorry to say. Sounds as if the food was great. I hope I will get to the next one. A weekly event sounds like a great idea.
Dr. G., I appreciate the offer of a loaner Powerbook and will take you up on that this Sunday if that is okay with you. Hmmm, why not try the 17"?
Oh, minnes? $35 sounds outrageous to ship a little game to Canada. I wouldn't even consider it. I don't know who these Canadian customers are who pay it without question, but they are either made of money or highly addicted to gaming. Or both?
lotus, you may take some of our sunshine. The warmest and sunniest May 24th holiday weekend is predicted for St.John's (sunny, no wind and in the mid to high teens in temps) in the 26 years I've been here in NL.
Jeac5, take the AlPB 17" and use it for as long as you want. We were send a gross, after I chatted with Steve Jobs at Peter's gala event. I mentioned that compared to a new AlPB, all other laptops are "gross". He misunderstood, and send us a gross of each size. That is 12 dozen of each!!!!!!! So, if anyone wants one, come and get it as a "loot bag" from Peter's party.

Wow, Dr. G., what an offer! And, one I will accept easily. You know, when I talk to my soon to be 4 year old niece about her upcoming birthday in June, the first thing she wants to know after making sure there will be cake, is will there be gift bags? This is a gift bag I can get into!
jeac5, I don't think you would fit inside of this loot bag. The AlPB comes with it's own carrying case that we could have initialized to personalize this gift. I am in a generous mood right now. The breeder of Daisy and Rootie made us an offer we found difficult to turn down -- a free doxie puppy. Daisy's mom just had a litter last month. The breeder is Chicago would like us to have one of the males from this litter, at no charge, so long as she can get the pick of the litter from the first time Daisy has pups. This seems fair, so my wife is flying to Chicago on Aeroplan points on July 4th. We are letting our son pick a name. Since the LA Lakers basketball team is his favorite sports team, and Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are his favorite players, we expect Shaq or Kobe to be the name he selects. We shall see.

What a great offer of the free pup! I vote for the name Kobe. It has a nice ring to it. Jeannie will be having her first flight in August when I go to Virginia. Unfortunately, she will have to fly alone as I need to go down first and get settled. I am not looking forward to this adventure for her as she can be quite an anxious dog and dislikes being left alone. Not to mention the fact that she has an aversion to her crate. The last time she was in it was years ago as a pup when something (who knows what) spooked her and she came barreling out of it, never to go in again. I am trying to get her used to it again now, first just by having it set up as a fixture in the room. I expect it to be a traumatic experience for the both of us, but necessary. We shall see. I must go for now. Take care all and good night. [img]smile.gif[/img]
