T minus 2 days

So now it's official: Sponge Bob Squarepants is confirmed to be in attendance at the Boat Show on Saturday, well you know, there's just no passing THAT up is there? Might have to get a picture of moi with him hmm??? Stay tuned...
So, Dave and I are counting down the minutes even though we're still two days away from leaving and a whole 4 days away from attending. A week away, is after all, a week away. Just thinking of putting on shorts and t-shirts, slipping the toes into flip-flops is all this body needs to go into instant R&R mode. I'm sure that visually seeing greenery and sunny skies and warmth will help too ... as I look out my cubicle window right now all I see are shades of grey... grey skies, grey buildings, grey roads, and yes, even grey snow.
We're both extremley anxious to go see the show, did I mention that? We don't know whether we should opt for the full 5 day pass that would allow us to go any ole day... we're kind of wondering why the first day is double the price for attending?? What's so special about the show on Thursday that makes them charge $30 per person ?? A 2 day pass is $30 (but not valid for Thursday). Damn money making profiteering shows !!
Nonetheless... I'm sure it'll be a huge venue, and not at all comparable to the local boat show we've been going to. The local boat show is where Dave and I had our "first date" of sorts, two years ago, this month. Kinda nice to reminisce about that. Kinda especially very nice (smile) on the two years too!! It is also where we met Hubert Marcoux, who was, sadly lost at sea a couple of months ago.
