Book Board Chat

Hi Everyone.
Well my new used refurbished monitor died on Saturday. Poof, just went black. Told a friend what it had done. Turned out is was just a loss of video from computer to monitor. So after a pull the plug cold shut down, me in cold sweat from computer withdrawal, and a restart I am now good to go.

First on agenda.
a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! FURTIMA/ DIANE

Heard interview on weekend with author of book that sounds interesting. It is called "Another Man’s Treasure"
Good article here.

MYSTERYHORSE, DUPO - I looked up that horse extravaganza, Cavalia. There are tickets starting at $34.50. The RENDEZ-VOUS VIP PACKAGE is the higher end of the two special packages and that one is $189.50 for the matinee on weekends and $10.00 less on weekdays. The Rendevous include food, barn access, ( meet and greet? lol) and a Cavalia souvenir.

When I went to ST. Louis to see the Lippizans, from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, the last time they were in the US, I vacillated on which ticket to buy. I decided that though I had been incredibly lucky to have seen the THE Spanish Riding School perform two of the previous three times they were in this country this might be my last chance and therefore I was going to do the top end ticket of $150. In the end, Mom gave me the ticket for my birthday.
I asked DEAD-HEAD, who lives in St. Louis, if she was going to go. She ended up going also and I stayed with her. We had front row seats and it was awesome. That was the time that I also met DUPO and her DH.

JIM - Thank you for the pictures. Sounds like a great trip. Isn't the space and the light just incredible up there? and the air is so clear etc etc. Don't know why I thought you were on a ship. Knew it was early in year for that.
