A few new Mabel pictures...


The pictures aren't great, and don't show the size difference but she's probably 8lbs heavier and a couple of inches taller. We're thinking she might be about as tall as she will get now. The other pictures are in the album, don't know if the camera has a "blue eye" setting.

Rat Pack


Wow, Alison and I celebrated Valentines with a great show... The lady in the ticket lady found me some seats that had just become available, we had a third row view of this fantastic show.

Check this out if you can, check your political correctness at the door!

Description
Direct from a record-breaking run in London's West End, THE RAT PACK brilliantly recreates the ultimate meeting of three legendary performers.

In 1960, while filming the casino robbery caper Ocean's Eleven in Las Vegas, Frank Sinatra got together a group of his closest buddies for impromptu concerts at the Sands Hotel. The Sands is no longer, and Frank, Sammy and Dean have left us, but THE RAT PACK transports you back to that moment in popular music history that has never been equaled.

A few degrees of separation...

Many of you will remember Laurie's best friend Melinda Fricke from Mahomet. Her brother is the guy in this article. It would seem to me a dangerous way to make a living... but hopefully he'll keep a level-headed approach to his financial planning.

MAHOMET – How many 19-year-olds need to find an accountant and financial planner?

Jimmy Fricke of Mahomet finds himself in such a position after bringing home $800,000 from the Aussie Millions Tex-as Hold 'em tournament onJan. 19.
