182 - 10 More Days..!

We got our tickets last night. We leave town on a motor-coach at 3am on Saturday the 14th (Valentines Day), heading to Newark Intl. Airport (almost a 3 hour drive), for an 8:30am flight, non-stop to Curacao! One flight, five and a half hours to sunshine and blue skies! I'll be taking a half day off next Friday, so I can get all packed up and ready to go.
Here's where we're staying!

I'm slowly adding programs to my new PC, it's fast as heck! I finally found out how to change the display to show temps in Fahrenheit and not Celsius.

I found one of those cool "Birthday Calculator's" online, and here's what it says for my birthday:

You were born on a Saturday
under the astrological sign Leo.
Your Native American Zodiac sign is Salmon; your plant is Raspberry.
You were born in the Egyptian month of Paopy, the second month of the season of Poret (Emergence - Fertile soil).
Your date of birth on the Hebrew calendar is 11 Elul 5716.
Or if you were born after sundown then the date is 12 Elul 5716.
The Mayan Calendar long count date of your birthday is 12.17.2.14.19 which is
12 baktun 17 katun 2 tun 14 uinal 19 kin
The Hijra (Islamic Calendar) date of your birth is Saturday, 11 Muharram 1376 (1376-1-11).
Celebrities who share your birthday:

Hi Dave ~~ I liked the one about selling the encyclopedias, "my wife knows everything. Some of those were
really funny. 10 days to go - Wow!!
Sorry about the trouble over the wallet. It's a double standard isn't it? They want our money instantly, but don't return it that way.
Glad you enjoyed the jokes - even lol
Take care, my friend, Regards, Merle.

What a beautiful resort.

Congrats on UCONN having the number one basketball team for men and for women. They just might stay there, judging from their recent performances.
