Mumma Mia

Well its been a bit of a whirlwind of a trip! I have been to LA, Detroit
(with Ralph) Chicago and now in new York! It is interesting to be here,
there are many areas that were and are affected by September 11, the theatre
and most of all people who lost others as well as units that they life in
downtown! I spoke to one person that saw all the things unfold on top of the
NYU building! Scary stuff - the smell in the air downtown is apparently un
bare able! They say it will take years maybe even 5 years to get the subway
back to they way it was! The local fire station around the corner from where
I live in "Hells Kitchen" has posters and flowers and every thing all around
it. I looked quickly and saw 15 men that were lost! Really hard to think
what it would be like to go off to work and be trapped .......... I have
been doing the normal things here ...... sleeping in and recharging ,
watching a Broadway show each night, there are not many shows on at the
moment. Highlights were the revival of 42nd Street - great orchestrations,
fantastic direction and costumes...... and well the tapping was kewl as
well! I saw Mumma Mia again this evening - ( I can proudly say I have seen
this show where ever it is on earth at the moment - Melbourne, London, New
York) I have got a million ideas that will drive every one crazy! most from
the NAR conference, and some from Chicago , Ralph , and NYC. I went down to
Symms on Madison Avenue and spent a life time searching for nice shirts, I
got so many I was crazy but they were all so god damn cheap I had to! Even
converted a POLO shirt is one third the price in Sydney!! So you will all
get to see some new colours! I bought some new stuff for the web site and
our PC network that was super cheap! I love having my world phone! I was
smack bang in the middle of virgin records on times square and the mobile
rang...... a lady from Balmain ringing about "Patrick Schwan" saying he was
lost and was at 392 Darling Street ..... :-) good to see that I can even
get a call for one of my kitty cats that went wondering!!! - Its kewl Kelly
saved the day and went and got him!!! ( I know you were worried :(
its 1.15am here in the morning! I am a little pissed (drunk - not angry -
LOL ) oh (LOL = Laugh Out Loud) Marilyn and I had a great Dinner, saw Mumma
Mia (Aussie Cast the best so far) and then came home - I been listening to
my music on my PC Hard drive and drinking a Southern!!! YUM YUM! Hey "THEY
CHANGED THE BOTTLE DESIGN" it looks kewl as!! I guess it will take Years to
get to Sydney like most things!! I miss may Cats and Work colleagues a awful
lot - my cats make me smile..... Patrick to greet me when I arrive, Rexxy
wanting a cuddle and Spritz asking "Dad can I have the rat" and Spike
waiting till its all dark and every one has gone and its just me & him and
the TV and then he will come over and want to cuddle ......... funny hey!!
Always love my mates, my cats. I am off to look for a data thing for a idea
I came up with! Ill see a show 2 morrow - buy another million CD's of shows
- maybe have lunch at Ollies on Time Square. I hope you are well, not
working too hard and remember Xmas is around the corner. Love Tim xox (back
before you can wink) ;-)

Qantas were unreal!

Well........ mmmmmmm what a trip!!!!! I have never seen so much security and
american flags in my life!! The Security was unreal at the qantas terminal!!
Despite the x-ray machines at all the security all people that were heading
to the USA had to have all their person la bags had searched!! so I waited
for 45 mins 30 mins after my flight QF8 was meant to leave I was still in
the line waiting to be "HAND" searched - most people were stressed as
thinking (and rightly so) that they would miss the flight! But no one did!
Qantas were unreal! they waited and waited and waited - any way had a good
flight! - and then I arrived to LA - and well another 60mins before getting
onto a flight to Ralph Roberts home in Detroit (Ralph is one of the number
one real estate agents in the USA) So i got onto the flight and had a great
3 hour flight to Deroit! Well Jesus! boy do the have a house! 4 levels! 7
bedrooms! Spa, Steam Room, Massage room, Huge TV Audio room, I have my own
room and en suite, Cleaner each day! well WOW! I have not had to pay for any
thing at all!!! I still have issue dollars in my Wallet! so heaven help me
if I have to pay for any thing! - Tonight they organized a massage for me!!!
which was sooooo nice of them!!!!!! and it was great toooooo!!!!!! well
between me typing this message Ralph and Kath have gone to bed!!!! I am
watching NBC "Jay Leno" down stairs where my room is! ......... such fun!!!!
I know you all are working hard soooooo HARD as it is November! I fly to
the conference 2 morrow I think! I have learnt a huge amount from ralph in
what to do and what NOT to do!!! His reporting I shot to balzes!!!! Unlike
ours! we ar so lucky to have our internal system in 4D " spike" that gives
us real time reporting!! Detroit and I have to say the USA has a million US
Flags ever where!!!!!! every where u can think that there should be a flag
positioned their should be!!! I had a great lunch at a Italian rest in
Detroit!!!! I must say lunch ....... mmmmmm well it felt like dinner as the
lights were so dimmed!!!! any way well we don't have the
sun here like we do in Australia! ....... getting online has been so much
better than last year!!! and guess what well some of u may have already
gathered my mobile works!!!!!! well its is now mid night and in well we
truly fucked! off to bed!!! hope all is well and every thing is fine!!!
