    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!

    Last year, I had a patient drive down to Fla, and as soon as they hit the state line, they pulled off the exit, and all the kids changed into their bathing suits and tee-shirts.

    Boy oh Boy! Were they ever excited! They were so excited that they got back on the wrong on ramp, and went back over the Georgia line before they realized what they had done. (Plus the fact that it was still another 6 hour drive 'till they hit the beaches!)


    Have a great trip!!

    sounds better than when I was there last

    It was in May, bout 9pm and the fireworks were going off. Yay! I love fireworks. Wait... What's that scuffle? Oh, its a bunch of not too bright parents fleeing through the densely packed crowd in the dark with their screaming infants. Turns out small babies don't like fireworks. Who knew?
    Glad you had a good time.

    We had an incident with small children several years ago at a town fair here. There was a TV news helicopter flying around all day that people could buy rides in. Later in the day the National Guard flew in a couple Hueys and parked them where they could talk to people and show them around. Later, the TV chopper took of to allow room for the Hueys to take off. They started the turbines up and a ring of people, some including children and children in strollers, formed around the choppers maybe a dozen feet from the end of the blades. The blades started up feathered and when it warmed up and they were ready to lift, the blades bit the air and the air blast hit. As you know, a Huey is an entirely different type of helicopter than a puny TV chopper. The air blast was so big it blew over a couple of strollers, then all the parents fled in a big rush leaving some of us there enjoying it. Nobody was hurt, but there were more than a few scared parents. Naturally, this has prevented the Guard from bringing them in since.
