  1. There is a fee for everything these days. Taking art? Art supply fee in addition to whatever other artistic thing you want to do. Chorus? Need to have matching outfits for the entire group, for each different theme they are performing. Not to mention plays and musicals. You have to supply your own costume. Here locally, the wrestling team gets no support in the athletic budget so the team runs fund raisers all the time. Mats are expensive, uniforms every few years, travel, etc. But don't criticize the basketball team. Beautiful hardwood floors with a practice court that the coach and Athletic Director preciously guard so you don't walk across it in street shoes of spill a drink on it. Floors that are lovingly swept and oiled by the maintenance staff. They get full funding in the budget. They tried to cut the band and chorus programs all together. Alpo is right, other than a sousaphone, tuba or drums, you supplied your own. I played the trombone my mother used in high school. It was near to an antique. I learned later it was not a "cool" instrument to play unless you liked playing marches. Drivers Ed used to be in the school curriculum but now it is user pay and done during non-school hours. It's all a racket.
  2. Happy birthday 40 Rod. Have a better than average day.
  3. Mickey Rooney subscribed to the axiom of finding a woman you don't like and buy her a house.
  4. As a rule buildings even near lakes are at a higher elevation than the lake. We always referred to going down to the lake as the house was on an incline above the lake.
  5. I drove past this hotel while at EOT. It is right off the interstate. I stayed at the HI in Cave Creek which is about 15 miles from the Ben Avery. We felt really safe and protected. I hope they get their equipment back.
  6. I'll continue to send word to the big chief in the sky to look out for you both.
  7. I'm late to the fire but I'm going to send some prayers up for both of you. I'm also glad you are both receiving good care.
  8. I've had a passport since college. Went on a trip of Europe with a group of students and had to have one for that. Just kept it current over the years for business travel. Need it for travel in and out of Canada (ya hey?) and Mexico these days. Mom and I want to go visit my sis and BIL down under one of these days. It is a good form of identification as well.
