Halloween, 2010

Unfortunately, I am missing the trip  to Key West this year, and am sure I cannot make it next week, for the 'Meeting of the Minds', the annual get-to-gather of the Jimmy Buffett fans from all over the country.
Well, it's been a week or more since I wrote here, so I had better catch up with things.
Last week was not so much to talk about, other than every day i take Romeo to the park for a walk or run, depending on which park we go to.  If it's Paw Park, he gets free and can run all over the park without a leash.  If it's Payne park, he has to be on a leash, as he does not always 'come' when he's called, and there is much to much traffic in the area for him to be free.
Other than that, Dorian (an old friend whom I have known for years) and I did manage to get away for awhile Wednesday, and we took a short road trip to Madeira Beach.  Great tourist area, lots of seaside shops and eating places. We had lunch at the Friendly Fisherman, and just walked around looking in the various shops.  We did spot a wine tasting place, and thought we maybe should try it....so, we got this pitcher of Sangria's and just sat and watched the crowd pass us by.  All in all, a very pleasant day.
Today is Halloween, so the ghosts and goblins will be out in force tonight.  Guess we should maybe get something ready for  the kids.

Oct. 13, 2010

Sorry, been awhile since I posted here.  No real excuse, just did not do any posting.
A few things have happened since I last wrote here. The dog has been feeling a litle better without the lampshade, and we have gone to the dog park or Paine park every day, so he and I get some exercise.
I have had a couple of calls for the union.  Sunday at the Asolo, for the load-in for the Ringling show, and Tuesday at the Opera warehouse, so I have done a few things.  Back to the Asolo Sunday evening for the take-out.
We did manage to get out to the boat once, but it seems to be a long time between visits.
Still have not managed to get the ramps ready for loading the scooter, but I may this week.
