I have had the pleasure of sailing but once in my life(sigh)! A spec of light in a sea of black , Too kool .! I am green AR10..!

[AR10]

Lots of joy in it, except my wife drags her feet. She is afraid of water deeper than her bath. Afraid of wind, and a heeling sailboat (tilt)

So I have to wade through her fears each time, and depending on the weather, she might mildly enjoy it, (rare) or dislike it (often)
I sat out sailing 30 years because she did not want it. In my reclining years, she can go jump over the neighbors fence and live over there for all I care, I am going sailing. I do require a crew, but lots of bikinis like to go sailing, no problem.

Pale 56 year old dressed in long selves, mildly to aggressively pissed, or a tanned next to nude college freshman coed. Her choice. Lol.

You might want us to review and edit your Craigslist ad before you post looking for a sailing partner. Might be able to help you out there!

I am pretty fearful of large bodies of water but I would love to sit in a sailboat with a life vest on and enjoy the day. Throw me overboard with no life vest, I might have a heart attack and die. As for the bikini........forget it.

Okay, folks, I got my computer back and I'm ready to post more photos with the new camera I have that keeps me entertained for hours. LOL

My orchid....now with two blooms...

My naughty kitten.



Playing in the box my computer power supply came in. Notice he has his favorite "piece of Styrofoam". I bought him toys but he keeps bringing up pieces of Styrofoam from the basement. *shrugs*

I went to the forest preserves on a snowy day.

My car after a snowy day when it's not in the garage. I hate cleaning snow of my car. Fortunately, my daughter is in her new apartment and my car is back in the garage.

Winds,
You might want to keep styrofoam away from the kitty. If he ingests it it can cause some serious problems or even kill him. I nearly lost a cat to styrofoam.

The other day I went to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park and took over 40 pictures of the orchids and other plants. It is a greenhouse that was ordered by James Lick in the 1870's but was not assembled until after his death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatory_of_Flowers

This is not the best time to visit, not as much in bloom and all, but it was still a great afternoon. I won't be a "topper" and post the pics of the flowers, but here is a pic of the outside of the building.

Oh, geeze, I never thought of that. I'm going to have to take away his Styrofoam toys and find out where's he's getting his stash in the basement. Poor kitty, he's going to have to play with the cat toys from now on. Thanks for the warning. I never thought of that.

Please post them. I fully expect the Orchids in a greenhouse to be better than mine. I'd love to see the photos. I could use the joy of seeing a bunch of flowers in the dead of winter and snow here in Illinois.
