Hi Gran,
I lurk lots, post little, and try to say nothing too sharp.
The newly weds took off without getting their final set of photos from the photographer -- They were all of the big prime-rib bash we held for everyone. I'll have a pic or two to post when they come. We had bagpipers marching around the pavillion, violin and piano music, singers and guitar players, and a gazebo with a sound system. About 400 people showed up for the 3 hour gala.
A few nights ago I went over to check on my daughter's snake at their apartment, and I took the heating lamp and set it on the carpet when I opened the cage. Then it stayed there for two days turning on and off with the timer -- and it resulted in a deep, round, black hole in the carpet. I figure guardian angels were blowing on it to keep the fire from starting. So I am exceeeeeeedingly upset at myself for letting that happen, I'm sure I will have to pay somebody to come in and repair the carpet.
This is the going-out-in-style with a severance package after the successful sale of the company.
Cheers.
Ouch ! Hope the severance was sweet enough to buffer the sting.
