    I was working in a bank's drive thru as a teller when one of the police officers came in & told us. I immediately called my mom since she was such a big Elvis fan. I had seen him once at the Houston Rodeo in the '70s & always hoped that I would see him again. So sad!

    I remember hearing it on the news, but that's about it. Gone too young for sure.

    Oh I'll still be feeling very 'viral' on the Monday. Luckily Tuesday will be open day so Monday will mainly be setting up for that!

We were able to take some pics of the villa, which I can post soon. It seems it has been empty for a while, as it needs some work doing to it. Still very cool to see where one of my musical heroes used to take his vacations!
    When I read your text about this, it was 4 am and hubby was getting ready for work. I read it to him and he asked if you were thinking of buying it so that we could lounge around by the pool that David probably lounged naked himself at. DORK!!!! But what a thought. Can't wait to see the pics.

    So glad you had a great time. Sounds like a real dream vacation.

    I was in the K-mart parking lot. I had just bought an 8 track player for my car. A 66 Nova. Dating myself a little there huh?

    Maybe a lil SG!

    I was only 9. It was on the morning news. But my cousins had been visiting from the UK a few weeks previously and one of them had told me how much she loved Elvis. So I remember feeling very sorry for her that day.

    I had a friend visiting from out of town last week and it's kept me quite occupied. I took her to Graceland this week (as is required for any out of town guest ) and the amount of flowers and tributes placed around Elvis' grave to commemorate the anniversary of his death overflowed into the driveway.

    Massive amounts of people here in Memphis this week to attend candlelight vigils in his memory and other more celebratory events such as concerts to keep things from getting too maudlin.

    Love reading about what's happening in people's lives, even if I don't get a chance to respond to each one... I read them all!

    Welcome home Troub! Very neat about the villa.

    Glad you feel better Austin!

    Hope things got sorted out at work, VA.

    S-C, I can relate. School starts for me Wednesday, but the preparatory meetings started last week.

    Cool about your "interesting" experience TRL, even if you did refuse.

    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten
