GOOD AFTERNOON One and All.

Its 36 degrees here, the air isn't so close to solid, and I even think I saw a bird fly by the window! I FEEL GOOD!!!!

-A crisp salute to the Military folks on board to day.

-A firm handshake to the guys here.

-And a long intimate kiss, followed by a 5# chocolate box assortment, and two dozen roses for every woman here!
(I said I was feeling good didn't I?)
