Yep, have a fun one SOS...I'm headed to the Keys last week of Aug, little sis has never been and wants to take the boat ride out to see the Fort. Then spend a week driving back up, hitting every tiki bar on the way Jul 22 21 04:59 pm Link Nope. No secret handshake or a Bat Signal. Just a wink and thumb your nose like they did in The Sting. In other words the con is on them younglings. Now, for a stogie and some whiskey -- in my dreams. Mr. K., it's appropriate and compulsory that you buy a round for us septuagenarians.

Joe SCS plaques up, ranging from The Green Parrot, to Capt. Tony's, to The Bottle Cap, Schooner Wharf, The Whistle (ya have ta ask to see it there, it's hidden behind the bar), the Marquessa, Berlin's atop A&T and a few others I rarely remember . . . things got hazy sometimes down there . . . Bobby's place on Stock Island, The Hogfish has one, as do several places all the way up the Keys to Miami, Bud & Mary's, The No Name Pub on Big Pine Key and a few more . . . you guys are gonna have ta rest up ta hit 'em all . . . sounds like your sister may need to become a krewe member as well, as an "official" member yourself, you can recommend new members . . . hint, hint! You guys have a great time, that drive is one of my favorites . . .

Joe's brother (a long time attorney in Key West), seems one o' Joe's boats is docked at Schooner Wharf, and unoccupied for most of the month, so I'm headed down ta "occupy" it fer awhile ta celebrate me BDay . . . I hope Capt. Tony's and the Green Parrot (et al. . . . ) are fully stocked with my favorite libations (of course, at my advanced age, probably jest a passing whiff will knock me out . . . ) . . . maybe a short sea trip out to the Marquesas for some fishin' with Capt. Tony Murphy could be in order as well . . . Mayor Teri (also an SCS krewe membre) has promised me not ta shut the city down for at least a week or so . . .

Shoot something or post something. https://flic.kr/p/2jXnds1 I don't see a way in Flicker to get the info needed to insert an image using the square bracket img tags. Where is a good place to stash a photo to be included here? Aug 29 21 07:15 pm Link Sadly lost yet another good friend to Covid . . . Gary Richardson was a native Bahamian, he'd spent his whole life in Hopetown, Abaco, was married to his lovely wife Robinette and had five wonderful kids . . . he was diagnosed less than a month ago, was airlifted to Nassau, and then to St. Augustine for more intense treatment, he passed early Sunday morning . . . I've known Gary for over thirty years, met him when he was just a teenager, tough to see him gone so soon . . . SOS Sep 14 21 12:45 pm Link Very sorry to hear, SOS...so many heartbreaking losses to this Sep 16 21 10:51 am Link Well, I'm battling COVID. and I got vaccinated in June so it is a bit of a surprise to me. Thankfully, my symptoms are very mild. At least I get a two week paid vacation from work for it. Sep 30 21 09:22 am Link Sheesh... October 31, and this is first post of October? And I'm not even including a picture? What is the world coming to.... Oct 31 21 01:19 pm Link Charles Howse wrote: Easy does it, Charlie.

Dec 21 21 07:41 am Link Wife and I are planning to move to Venice early 22. It is just time to lighten up our base. 55+ community with all the trimmings. I have no idea yet what I might be trying for a work space. Ill figure it out in time. I'm more studio guy than location, that said Ill definitely be trying to improve my beach techniques as best I can here and there. I am to much of a Florida newb to know if Venice counts as central or not. Perhaps a little south western? Dec 21 21 09:55 pm Link Randy Poe wrote: Most people would likely consider that Central FL. SWFL starts around Fort Myers or so. Dec 23 21 08:17 pm Link Checking in from Tampa...kicking the tumbleweeds away...
