Fried before five

I just couldn't get motivated this morning to go to exercise class. Hopefully this will not become a habit - sometimes a person just needs to lounge about in the morning with that pot of coffee. We were also out of milk so that ruled out most breakfast foods so we decided to drive down to Ocala to possibly golf if the clouds cleared out and the rain stayed away.

After a pecan waffle and scattered and chunked at Waffle House, we headed to the course. It was crowded, but we got on. I'm still working on the new clubs, but did a lot better today. We also walked - something we haven't done in about two weeks. How did we get so out of shape? On the back nine we played with a 74 year old gentleman from Michigan who also winters in Florida. That man was in better shape than we were - of course, he had one of those fancy remote controlled carts; we have to pull ours (at least that's my reasoning.)

While we don't usually walk in the mornings because it's $10 after 2pm, we had prior plans for 4:00pm. We did something for which we usually make fun of others - yep - we ate at 4:20pm - dinner!! AAAAHHHHH - we've turned into old retirees (at least for the day.) We've been looking forward to the fish fry at the local Catholic church since last week Friday when friends let us know how good it was. For $7.00 apiece, we got all you can eat slaw, fries, grits (we passed), hush puppies, fried or baked white fish, along with dessert and iced tea. The posted times were 4:30-6:30, but at 4:20, the place was 1/3 full. By the time we finished eating, the line was 100 people long. While we won't go back every Friday during Lent, we will probably go back at least once more.

I don't know what the situation is back at home, but the price of gasoline and diesel took a very BIG jump yesterday - diesel now is $3.63 a gallon. Gas was $3.29 for regular. What in the world happened?

We went to the grocery store after the fish fry to stock up on munchies. Since we ate so early, we're sure we'll need snacks by about 9:00 tonight. We spent $26 on milk, soap, pepper, and the rest of just junk - chips, cookies and candy.
