Definition of Bitter..Sweet!
So I just got back from the Florida Keys, and there is this sense there that it is really paradise. Though there are mixed opinions as to the status of Key West itself.
I was a brought to a concert at a KOA with Howie Livingston, and discovered this music genre called "Trop Rock." I'm sharing a link, as embedding has been disabled. Since most of us are in the frozen north, I thought I should add the rebuttal, which I found first. It is like folk-rock-reggae. You can also find a video of Howie firing up his 1953 Johnston outboard motor, in order to make Margaritas. He auctions off the right to do that, and the money goes to his favorite charity, which sends kids with cancer to camp.

I learned to fish, and caught a keeper, and I think I got to eat it. It may have been a bit mixed up in the rest of the catch.
So I left *early* on Tuesday, and caught an 8AM flight. On the first leg of my flight was a flight attendant named Marvin. He made the flight!
Marvin: "The doors are about to close, please shut off any electronic device. To illustrate in the wake of the Alec Baldwin incident, if it isn't necessary for your continued living, turn it off."
Marvin: "The doors have now closed. If Atlanta was not part of your travel plans, now it is!"
He acted out the safety schpiel, even crossing his forearms at the word "prohibited."
Marvin: "Because of the short runway, we are going to be doing something called a 'static start.' We'll rev up the engines with the breaks on, and then release the brake. That should snap your heads back. I don't want to see any of you big men crying like little girls!" (it wasn't nearly as bad as he described :-D)
Considering there were a number of people on the plane who slept short or not at all, he had us all laughing as we left paradise. One woman was showing off a studded belt, while we were still waiting to board. She said that she bought it the night before, but has no memory of where, or under what circumstances.
I'm going to try to accomplish some serious activity today. I'll get back to you about that.
