Taking a break today...
BUT
Come Back Tomorrow...
It's a
REALLY BIG POST!
OK....so everything is printed and we finished at 4:00 am on Thursday, just in time to get on the road...
Had a great two days in Philadelphia, MS at the Pearl River Resort...relaxed...played some cards...ate a great meal and laughed a lot...
The cards did not turn out great. We did get into a Texas Hold 'em Tournament with about 80 players. We lasted an hour or so getting more 4 & 7 hole cards...
We were in the #2 seat and the guy in #1 was getting some great cards. The gent next to us in #3 looked over after my last hand and said "Man, you had nothing to play"
Did spend some time at the Blackjack tables also and just road my own, leaving a few shekels behind...
Dinner was excellent...Presentation on my Spinach Salad was lacking, as they put all the other ingredients at the bottom of the bowl, and then tossed the Spinach leaves on top....Might have been a commentary on our asking for the dressing on the side...
Dressing was a Balsamic based, but with sugar, salt pepper and olive oil used...will have to experiment on the proportions...
We also had the Macadamia Nut Crusted Orange Roughy with a Buerre Blanc Sauce.
Darlin' Nancy had an Iceberg lettuce and tomatoes Salad and then the Petite Filet, with a nice sauce on the side.
We had a Stag's Leap 2003 Cabernet with dinner and split a slice of NY Style Cheese cake with a Strawberry Sauce.
Every female diner gets a red rose at the conclusion of dinner...nice touch...
Except for the group of over-served gents at the table behind us who were totally loud and obnoxious and ride...(wait did we just describe tables we have been at???)
Where were we...anyway, they left just in time...people were beginning to get a tad annoyed...
It was a grand evening overall...
OK, then after we picked up our car in Olive Branch we went and picked up the new iMac....YUP....we got it...
20" of bright beauty...as a matter of face, we are lying on the bed, the computer about 5 feet away as we type this...see, the mouse and the keyboard is wireless...the wireless keyboard is a smaller version, and we are not sure we are totally comfortable with it yet, but that is why they invented spell check...but we sometimes miss some of those - RIGHT ANNDI?
So, that is the good news...bad news is we might have lost everything n the old machine...might be much worse than we thought...all our music...and the programs ..my Photoshop and Illustrator were work related from a past job..they gave to me...but we do not have the disks to load on the new machine.
And MS Office is another program where the disc is no longer with us.
We have begun loading all the CD's we own and also trying to recreate some of the live music (bootlegs) we have...
I feel like Layla who lost much of her music, though she was able to recover some...
We have not given up hope yet though...we are hopeful the Pros can do something we can't to abstract the data...
So, no huge graphics abilities at the moment.... if you want to share your P.S. and Illus. discs for Mac... heheheh we will not tell...
Also hopeful to grab the USB turntable and get the vinyl loaded to digital...how is yours going Travis?
"Our" team won both games (played against two different teams)...
So, back to work...in the office that is...
