Ramblings

It has been a long while since my last post.  Shame on me I guess.  I am still breathing in case of you were wondering.  I have learned a few interesting things in the past few weeks:

Never joke about somebody's Cankles.  That is where someone has heavy ankles.  You know, their calf done run into their ankle.  Now I have a cankle.  My leg feels pretty good.  I get around good.  I just have a goofy looking cankle.

Most people in AA, really need to be in AA.  I thought I was drinker until I met these guys.  I can't tell any of the stories.  Swore to secrecy you know.  But it is definitely worth it to attend a meeting once in a while.

Never start a book!  Writing one that is.  Being immobile a while, does weird things to your head.  The only good thing about the book is it proves that I am just as warped sober as drunk.  I still slur my typing and everything.

Not drinking is boring.  I have stopped making late night calls to discuss profound subjects.  I miss the stimulating conversations that followed the next morning.  If you miss those calls, shoot me a line.

The economy still seems to suck.  I am working on a fishing ponzi scheme.  People that join my multi-level angler's associate early can target grouper.  Those that join later can target grunts.  Oh wait, that was the marine fisheries commission's plan.

I don't have a clue how fishing is right now down here.  I guess I will just have to jump on the boat and go find out.  Now, seems like a good time.  Later.

Lazy Days

Other than the fact that it is nearly impossible to book a trip, I love this time of the year in the Keys.  The weather is ideal.  You can cross US 1 without having to wait forever for a gap in traffic.  There is no wait in the checkout line at the WD and you can nap in a hammock without some Dilbert asking you what you are doing.  I never have figured out why anyone would need to ask what a person laying in a hammock sound asleep is doing.

Restaurants in town also start realizing that a tuna sandwich with chips may not really be worth eight bucks.  Some even begin to realize that ten dollar hamburgers, four dollar Bud bottles and (This is my favorite) eight dollar grilled cheese sandwiches are not going to pack their establishments.  Now, you can get good lunch specials with reasonable portions for under six bucks.  Just the other day I had pasta with meatballs and garlic bread for under six bucks with tax.  The portion was large enough that a little hammock time was in order.

There are a few type A personalities and some folks that think that just because they have the ability to talk, they have to constantly.  Most of the time it is pretty easy to avoid these people.  Some even begin to realize that the world doesn't really revolve around them.

So this time of year I take care of the few things I need to take care of without rushing.  Find time to shoot the breeze with buddies.  And of course make time for a little nap here and there.
