Riddle Sideways: yep, that will be good too
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Korel Laloix: And getting back to Florida and the beach and water will be great as well.
Korel Laloix: Very torn between OK and FL in some ways.
Riddle Sideways: where in Florida?
Riddle Sideways: Florida was another place we shipped first people
Korel Laloix: Tampa area, where I went to college and where Sama's family settled in the states.
Bruce Mowbray: ahhh!
Bruce Mowbray: West Coast!
Korel Laloix: That is where we met.
Korel Laloix: Seems so long ago now though.
Bruce Mowbray: Wonderful, then, that your wedding will also be there.
Riddle Sideways: ha, time flies
Korel Laloix: We will have a traditional Native ceremony up here as well later this year for my family.
Bruce Mowbray: Wow.
Bruce Mowbray: You will be thoroughly hitched, Kori.
Riddle Sideways: 2 ceremonies wow
Bruce Mowbray: I wish you all the best.
Riddle Sideways: yes
Korel Laloix: More for family than us... But we understand the importance to them.

Bruce Mowbray: !!
Riddle Sideways: exactly
Bruce Mowbray: and a cruise!
Riddle Sideways: and beach
Riddle Sideways: and
Riddle Sideways: and
Bruce Mowbray: yum yum
Korel Laloix: There are a few Russian foods that I really don't care for, but I think I will find something.
Korel Laloix: But I don't like vodka, and that is an issue... lol
Bruce Mowbray nods, me neither.
Bruce Mowbray: Vodka tastes like rubbing alcohol, as if I knew what that tasted like (!)
Bruce Mowbray: Gin, however.... wonderful!
Riddle Sideways: ah .... gin
Korel Laloix: More of a tequila girl really.
Bruce Mowbray: Look out for the worms.
Riddle Sideways: nope ... no more tequila
Korel Laloix: Gin I find to be not that interesting... Sama loves a good gin or vodka tonic though.
Riddle Sideways: it is often not a friend

--BELL--

Bruce Mowbray: "Jose --- you were a friend of mine..." [la la la] (Forgot the second word in that name...)
Bruce Mowbray: Querno?
Korel Laloix: Quervo
Bruce Mowbray: ahhh.
Bruce Mowbray: Quervo!
Korel Laloix: Toilet cleaner
Bruce Mowbray: Close but no worm.
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha.
Korel Laloix: And I am being polite... smiles
Bruce Mowbray nods, agrees.
Korel Laloix: There are very good tequilas available, HQ is NOT one of them.
Bruce Mowbray: My drink of preference is Scotch, but a bit expensive for my pocketbook.
Korel Laloix: My former boss had me buy scotch for the company hospitality bar, so I learned to like some of it.
Bruce Mowbray nods, I remember that, Kori.
Korel Laloix: But agreed, the stuff that I liked it a couple of hundred a bottle.
Riddle Sideways: choice drink of champagne, but pocketbook won't supply the good stuff often
Bruce Mowbray: Every village in Scotland has its own distillery, you know.
Korel Laloix: I go through phases with bubble booze I think.
Korel Laloix: Sometimes I like, sometimes I don't.
Korel Laloix: But still prefer a nice red wine more than anything alcoholic.
Korel Laloix: But at my size, I have to be careful what I drink and how much.
Bruce Mowbray: "Nice red wine" is NOT alcoholic?
Korel Laloix: I can at least have a couple of glasses of wine
Bruce Mowbray: yes, cool.
Korel Laloix: I think I did that sentence poorly... lol.. was saying my fave is red wine.
Bruce Mowbray: Cabernet Sauvignon . . . C'est Tres Bon!
Riddle Sideways: at my size I could drink more than I do :)
Korel Laloix: I am back up to 85lbs... smiles
Riddle Sideways: wow
Bruce Mowbray: Wow.
Bruce Mowbray: I was heavier than that in the 5th grade, alas.
Korel Laloix: I was trying to gain a bit more before Florida but the car wreck messed that up.
Bruce Mowbray: OUCH.
Riddle Sideways: remembering the car wreck
Korel Laloix: It happens.
Korel Laloix: Not my first, glad it was not my last...
Riddle Sideways: please remove not from that sentence
Bruce Mowbray makes note to remove "not"
Riddle Sideways: if Kori agrees
Bruce Mowbray listens for Kori's agreement.
Korel Laloix: lol.. Just saying I expect in the last 70 years I will probably have another.. and if it had been my last, I would not be talking with you right now.
Korel Laloix: the next 70 years
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Bruce Mowbray remembers car wrecks he's been in -- a few.....
Bruce Mowbray: Three, actually.
Riddle Sideways: didn't mean it that way
Bruce Mowbray: maybe, four . . .
Bruce Mowbray: Will you be able to run on the cruise ship, Kori?

--BELL--

Korel Laloix: Yes!.. smiles
Bruce Mowbray: Cool!
Korel Laloix: There is a good running track around the place and open 24 hours
Bruce Mowbray: Wonderful.
Bruce Mowbray: I expect you to be down to 30 lbs. by the end of the cruise, then.
Korel Laloix: Our room has a private hot tub as well on the balcony, so when I am not in that, might be running...
Korel Laloix: Looking forward to the huge calories to burn off...
Bruce Mowbray: Doubly cool.
Bruce Mowbray: Doubly bubbly cool.
Riddle Sideways: sorry, need to leave
Bruce Mowbray: kk, I also need to leave.
Riddle Sideways: no road trip tho
Korel Laloix: Sama went with this cruise because of the shows I think.
Korel Laloix: Take care.
Riddle Sideways: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Bon Voyage, Kori.
Korel Laloix: Best wishing to friend.
Korel Laloix: Wado.
Riddle Sideways: mazel tov, Kori
