Morning folks - About 0745 as I start to drivel an’ caffinate’. Suns’ been up a bit over an hour; jest keeps gettin’ earlier and earlier. At least for another ~3 weeks. Sure seems like Equinox is coming early this year. Go figure.
NWS’s report from almost an hour ago sez 82/28 on the way to 90/32. Skies are slightly hazy with Saharan dust and although the forecast suggests a chance of showers hear and there, I’m not seein’ it.
Today will be day 3 of our full day’s wake-up to sleep-time together. Which will set a record; two was the best we’d managed heretofore. Going great.
Shakira on Fri night was great. Neither her hips, nor those of the 45,000 female Latina audience members dressed to attract lied even a little bit. We got into the concession & seating area about two hours before the live show actually started. Good food, drink, & company. The endless parade of spandex, shiny vinyl, tall shoes, and sparkly stuff was … distracting. The audience was no kidding 55,000 people. Of whom not even 10K were men. And about 10K were white; the rest Latina, black, or both. So Miami. We sat next to two 20-somethings from Medillín Colombia. They had flown up just for the concert. Knew all the words to all the songs (as did much of the audience) and sang and danced most of the night right there in front of their seat.
Got home at 1am Sat; glad I’d hired a driver.
Sat and Sun were great fun too. Lotta live music and live action at home. Except for the slight embarrassment last night (Sun) when we’re enjoying a drink & app at a nice bar & two 30-something semi-hip dudes walk in. GF & one dude eye each other up & down then the two dudes go sit at the other end of the bar. I’m watching this mystified. Turns out GF had had a brief fling with the cuter of the pair about 6 months ago. FTR GF is 69yo. GF was mortified and also terrified I’d be all sorts of angry / jealous when she later explained what had been going on. (Narrator: “He wasn’t.”) Such fun.
As to today’s steam: Right now GF is still snoozing, building up her steam. Real quick here I need to wake her up so we can cuddle, coffee, shower, and go. I need to stop by the dental lab making my crowns so they can color-check my upper teeth and make my new lowers to match. That’s at 11am and should be quick. But it’s 30 minutes downbeach from here to there. That’ll put us near where she grew up, so she’ll take over from there and we’ll get some brunch and some beach walking, if not swimming in her old stomping grounds. I’m familiar enough with the area, but I bet I’ll learn some new tricks along the way.
The rest is TBD but I’m sure we’ll be worn out by the end of it.
Well, I hear the sound of a girl brushing her teeth, so it’s time for me to put this on the wire and get that cuddle, coffee, and shevelment going.
Cheers! Happy Moanday to all!
I keep forgetting, and am usually much better about that kind of thing. On the other hand, I’m not out on the road every day, so I’m not thinking about getting pulled over all the time.
