All Hail The Chair

I volunteered to join one of the committees that were formed in my condo association. This is actually a pretty big deal as I never volunteer for anything. I learned my lesson when I was young. I volunteered when I was 17 and the next thing I knew I was in the Navy for six years. I haven’t raised my hand since.

The condo board formed four committees - social, communications, facilities and budget. Guess which one I joined. No not the social committee, I don’t like people that much. I joined the communications committee. We are chartered with setting up a newsletter, web site and generally communications process for the building. We had our first meeting last night and although there is a lot of work involved, the group seems very sharp and we should have some fun. Oh, and they elected me as the Chair of the Communications committee.

The Rose and I are going to a vodka and caviar tasting tonight at Morton’s Steakhouse. Morton’s is having these tastings across the country in the month of March. I am not really sure what to expect, but since The Rose likes caviar and I like vodka, it seems like a good fit.

Speaking of The Rose, here is a photo of us in Myrtle a few weeks ago. I love it when the beach is deserted. No crowds, just the two of us, a few surfers and some birds…what could be better.

The picture used in this post was not doctored or altered in any way. She is that beautiful and I look that bad. What can I say, the generosity of some women never ceases to amaze me.

What a gorgeous woman she is! No wonder you call her 'The Rose', makes me think of Shakespeare or a sonnet. I am sure that if her personality is a pretty as she is on the outside, no wonder she has you hooked. And you look pretty dauper yourself. You make a good couple.

Congrats on the chair position!

Very pretty girl you've gotten yourself - very happy for you dear Blue! I think the troops need to meet her at say, a brunch?

Hey, now that's something I haven't seen in a while. Let's try not to scare her off now pappy... Cause I know, as well as the next blue-dweller, how good you are at that. HAHA! You know you like it.

She's really pretty -- you too look really happy:)

I was just goaded into becoming president of my association last week week b/c our last one resigned b/c she'd done it for eight of the last 12 years and needed a break. I was the only Board member from last year that wasn't totally overwhelmed with other obligations, so I felt obligated so the building's wicked witch of the west didn't agree to do it.
