Uncle Markie out and about.
Refresh for a different picture!
That is one nice rack of ribs that went on at 4pm and came off at 7pm, and a loaf of dark rye bread from a new recipe. Good fun for the three of us at the table and two of us in the hot tub. And many trips up on the lift. Must be [...]
A run to Home Depot for safety hardware to install on the deck: To the store for lunch supplies time to try out the Swanda birthday present: I think it’s designed for standard buns and wieners will need to experiment more. The low fat chicken sausages (4 grams of fat as opposed to [...]
I thought about going to the funeral, but I dislike them, and the person who was hosting annoys me. Wow is that a Bulwer-Lytton award winning first sentence of a novel? He was famous for “It was a dark and stormy night”.paragraph that goes on and on and on. “It was a dark and [...]
Wow, my first “in-print” travel review OK, it’s a long quote in an article on the WorldMark Victoria. My portion is the red box on the right hand side which reads Year-Round Appeal Of the 49 WorldMark resorts that owner Mark Souder has visited so far, he says WorldMark Victoria remains his favorite [...]
With the sun out for yet another day, it means this is a good time to go to Home Depot to get wood to get the railing for the deck stairs done. Guess it’s now time to get the benches built and the safety chains installed. Hopefully before Greg and Blair come to dinner on [...]
Well, it wasn’t the Wednesday I wanted. The Wednesday I wanted was to be headed to Seaside for some quality time in the sack — which apparently will have to wait until the 14th. Not to be. Instead, I’m a Safeway buying dinner supplies for dinner with Swanda. After gassing up, I stumbled across this [...]
Up early to the flight 5am is early no matter what time zone. Seat 4B (last row of First) on the way home, with breakfast and a few drinks. But no ride home from the airport Wonderful’s helper Possum couldn’t work today, and Wonderful was stuck at home waiting for a shipment of [...]
Up earlier than I’d like, or maybe it was that last martini or two. By 10am we were in the car and on the way to drop me in Miami near the airport. Baymont Inn/Suites Doral/Airport West. By 11am I was checked in and hanging out in the room all wired up to the internet [...]
The heat the humidity it’s killing me. Can’t say as I’d ever move to Florida. Of course, we all know how much I love the Pacific NorthWet. The big diversion today was a trip to Costco woo hoo. And they sell liquor in a little mini-warehouse next door (still Costco, but different entrance). [...]
One positive note from this trip. Disembarkation was stunningly quick. From the room, to the sidewalk beyond customs and immigration in under 10 minutes, and most of it was walking. Now, if they had just had eggs Benedict on the buffet the last day. I nodded off for most of the ride to Boca and [...]
After drinks at Moderno, a typical boring Epic dinner followed at the Manhattan Club Richardo did his best (tracking down some horseradish for us), but there is only so much you can do when the food is what it is. I heard one woman say that she is regretting next week as she signed [...]
