Off to Manila

Hi Everyone,

  Unless plans change, Randal and I are off to Manila tomorrow to visit our friend Carol and to do a last round of chores that can only be done in Manila; like buying Randal shoes that actually fit and a blender that really chops ice and doesn't destroy itself in the process. Thanks to the Chef/Owner of Aresi Cafe we have the name of a restaurant supply store in Makati so there is hope.   I am looking for a slow cooker, though they are available here too, so that's less important.  But I do need new bike pedals; mine are beyond repair. 

  We will go Thursday and plan to return Sunday.  That will give us time to do chores Thursday and Friday and go seeing sites with Carol on Saturday.  We would like to stay and visit with Carol longer, but too many boat chores. 

  If you haven't yet noticed, it is baseball season.  I have been refraining from posting daily Red Sox scores on my email.  I figure, if you care, you already know, if you don't care, you don't want to know, and if you are a Yankee fan, you hate knowing.  So unless there is a really huge reason to write about the Sox, I'll just keep it to myself.  I'll just say that my new little red (Red Sox) ring  and red bangle seem to be bringing them luck. That and digging up Big Papi's shirt from under the new Yankee Stadium.
