Been a While......





It's been a while since posting. Work sucks, so not much to talk about there. The best part of the last few months was our cruise to the Caribbean and a trip to Florida. The Weather was nice for both trips. In Nokomis, FL, they do something called "Drums on the Beach". It's a gathering of different musicians that bring their percussion instruments of all kinds and begin a beat that continues and builds to crescendo as the sun sets. Very cool, everyone brings their favorite snacks and beverages so everyone is in a very good mood. It's become so popular, there are hundreds of people there spread across the beach. I included a couple of pics of the sunset and the people. If you find yourself in the Sarasota area, look into it. It's very popular and everyone seems to know about it.

Our cruise was very nice. Lots of good food, drink, cuban cigars, and spa visits. One thing we did in Greneda was go a "Party Cruise". This was basically about 80 people on a covered barge with a steel drum band, open bar, fresh fruit for snacks, a great beach, drinks brought to you while you lay in your chair and bobbing in the cleanest water you can ever imagine. This is our 5th Caribbean cruise and hope to do many more.

till next time....eat well, drink well, live well.....

Hey McMeaty! Glad to see you posting again. That drum thing on the beach sounds really cool. I'd love to see that sometime. Sounds like the cruise was great - I don't think we really got to even talk about it yet. I miss you and McCheesy!

Hey CJ,

we do need to get together. We miss you guys too. It looked like you had a tough week with the bike spill and the puppies breaking your fall. I'll contact your personnel assistant to set up an appointment to get together.
