I Got the Concert, the CD and the T-Shirt!
We set out for a late lunch on Saturday. Jason chose "Two Georges" restaurant on the Intracoastal waterway. It is on a pier, funky, wildly popular and a great place to be on a beautiful day. We watched the boats pull in and out, had a couple of cocktails while waiting for a place and got into the entertainment part of the restaurant. A pudgy, regular looking guy was playing a mean guitar and singing the songs of Clapton, Beatles, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, and a host of others I know SOME of the words to.
Jason knew to order Spring Rolls and Conch fritters for appetizers as we had another drink (only the two but they were good ones!) and ordered blackened Grouper sandwiches. Anyway I REALLY got into it. Loved the music, the company, the crowd, the place, the open air, the boats. I was ready to take up residence. The singer was hawking his own CD's so I got one for Jason and Lori and one for me. The acid test will be how they sound without a couple of gin and tonics but I know how to fix those! On the way out Jason handed me a Two Georges Staff T-shirt. After that, we drove up A-1-A to Palm Springs. looking at the terrific mansions and the sea, through tunnels of vegetation. A great afternoon- they brought me home for a little rest about 7:00 pm. The kids helped me walk the dogs and I hope they got some rest after that.
A surreal moment occurred when my brother Rich called. I was on the beach in Palm Springs taking pictures and he was on an oil well site in Lysite, Wyoming with his girlfriend waiting for a couple of shy bladders to work. Valerie's company does drug testing and there had been an accident the day before so she was testing the whole crew. Cold and snowy in Lysite, blue and balmy in Palm Springs.
