This morning we awoke to thunder and lightning. This, however, did not stop us from riding our bicycles to the clubhouse for breakfast. We scarfed down our bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches ($2.00), and hightailed it the 600 yards back to our humble abode. We got back one nano-second before the sky opened up.
Once the storm was over we headed about 60 miles west to a quaint coastal town called Cedar Key. It kinda puts one in mind of old St. Charles along the river, only this is along the Gulf of Mexico. Lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. We weren't properly dressed to be walking outside, so we mostly just drove around.
We checked in with both Mark's Dad (who celebrates his birthday today--Happy Birthday Dad) and my Mom. Seems a lot of our relatives back home are sick with numerous maladies. We hope you all get better soon.
After doing laundry for the past hour and a half, I'm ready to crash on the couch. I've learned that the best time to do laundry is at 8:00pm. The on-site laundromats are always crowded during normal hours - especially on rainy days.
It was not, however, a total rain-out today. The sun was out by mid-afternoon and everyone eventually crawled out of their winter homes and gathered in the streets to do what we retired people do - talk to each other!
By the way, Michael tells me I'm only one of the possible two STL Cardinal fans who will miss Scott Rolen. I'm sure there are more than two of us. First Jimmy, now Scotty. Who will be next?
