Wednesday, January 13




This was my last day at Cape Canaveral and it sure was a good one. It was 63, light breeze, clear blue skies. So I played golf again. On the first tee a gator was in the pond staring at me. So I duck hooked my first shot onto the roof of the club house. My mulligan wasn't much better. There's just something about being stared at by a creature that can eat you if it wants to that gives me the jitters. You can see his eyes & nose in the pic.


Then I went for a long scooter ride back to Mo's Crab Heaven for another of the best crab cakes I've ever had. And they had ice cold Miller Lites for $1.25. I wanted the waitress to adopt me so I could stay there. It sure was fun.


Then there was the Tar Heels. I stayed up too late, drank too much & got let down by my guys once again, & in Clemson of all places. I'm sure my father was smiling down on that one, as he was a huge fan of the Tigers.

  2. you may already have gotten this however here it comes again....hope the weather is hot and sunny and you're lying in the hot sand contemplating your navel. hope the KW sunsets are the most spectacular thing you've ever seen and the beer is so cold it's hard to swallow.

    the pictures are great...is that the camera from Verne? she always went for the best (and that includes you). God i miss her. She was my best friend and soul sister. still very hard.

    lou's mom, sophie, is coming mid-february for a few months. get the bunk bed ready for me around 1st march.

    will write again soon now that i've figured this out. lou's off to get synvisc in his knee and cortisone in his shoulder. we signed up for a cruise 1/31/10 out of Port Canaveral (talk about ships passing in the night) 7 days to st.thomas, st.martten and the private island. just really needed to get out of town. laughingly said to one of my golf ladies 'you should come too' and damned if she and her husband didn't sign up. she's a talker...it will be interesting to see if i jump overboard or lou throws her overboard. cruising still seems it should be you and Verne.

    Glad you had help to get in the skinny space. Would those little mirrors that swivel (they stick on your existing side mirrors) help? Want me to get some from walmart and mail them to you? love, m

  3. Driving while hungover and taking pictures???Glad I am not on the same road as you. I know I have accused you of reverting to your childhood, Scooter but really... Maybe that waitress should have adopted you. Adult supervision may be necessary before your adventure is over.

    Key West may not be far enough to escape the Heels! Pretty ugly game. People here are evenly divided between blaming it on the car that ran into the team bus before the game or the ugly ass tie Roy was wearing. I vote for "they are YOUNG"!!. Still can't think and play at the same time.

    How about a vicarious adventure on my behalf? Find a scruffy fishing guide and pole out on the flats to chase a bonefish.

    Started 4-T class last night and thought of you. Miss you, bro.
