Nollster is organizing tee times at Tanglewood for Thursday. The Championship course is $37 to play all day. It's a great course with many great views of the beach!!  Looking to go off pretty early in the morning so we can get 2 rounds in. Please let him know if you are planning on playing some golf!

Well we're all packed and ready to hit the road.  We'll stop in SC on the way up and see you all tomorrow afternoon.  Be careful out there.

Looks like the golfers picked a good day.  It's been in the mid to upper 90's the past few days.  But we got a little rain yesterday, and Thursday is only supposed to be 85 for the high.

WillynHook - so Sharon has some might strong teeth and is the doer while Josh is the more creative force  I can't wait to meet these kids!

TP,

Regarding the sharing of the seat....did you end up sitting UNDER her magnificently large thigh and posterior or were you on top!?

That can make all the difference??

REgards,

It's just about midnight here Friday -- about to hit the sack, get 3 hours sleep and then get up and drive straight to Winston-Salem and hopefully be there by 2 or 3 p.m. Friday.

See you all if I'm not dead. (g)
