    It's been a year...
    Since I made an entry in this journal.
    So I thought I'd celebrate by...
    making another entry!

    Sigh....
    Just checking to see if this thing is still active...
    I know I am... active I mean!
    Lots of life changes coming up.
    We're moving. Away from the beach. It's a good thing and
    and sad thing at the same time. I think I'm pleased - we'll
    have much more space, I'll have a garden and (no laughing here,
    please...) friends my own age to play with.
    But... we're moving. Away from the beach.
    Sigh...

    Update - at last!
    It's been over two years since I've updated this journal.
    In fact, I'd almost forgotten it existed.
    So much has happened in those two years - far too much to record here.
    A death.
    A grandson.
    Several hurricanes.
    A new job.
    New friends.
    Life in general...

    A perfect evening...
    ... after a long hot day.

    With the air conditioning still off there was no way I was
    going to cook dinner and we decided to head down to the local
    Inn for dinner.

    The air had cooled a bit and the humidity had all but
    disappeared by 6:30 when we started out down A1A. It's an
    easy walk - a little less than a mile, and we took our time -
    unlike our morning walks which are for exercise and therefore
    brisk and businesslike.

    The restaurant wasn't crowded, and we were able to get a table
    by the main window, which looks out over the ocean.

    We had a delicious meal - grilled salmon, sauteed
    vegetables and a salad and we lingered happily over
    our coffee, watching the world (what little of it we could
    see) go by.

    The beach was quiet - one or two couples walking
    hand in hand; a mother playing in the surf with her daughter;
    and a very happy, and very wet chocolate Lab running along
    side his master.

    We walked home along the beach. The tide was out, the sand
    flat and hard and the surf quite calm - only a few waves
    lapped up far enough to 'get us' as we strolled. The sun
    was setting, but it was still light enough to see one or two
    fishing boats off shore and watch the pelicans looking
    for dinner. There were also sandpipers scuttling busily to and fro
    and gulls circling lazily overhead.

    We arrived home to find our air back on - a relief beyond
    words as when we'd left the apartment the temperature had
    been 88 degrees - inside.

    It doesn't get much better, does it?

    Headline of the Day...
    From my daughter, whose sense of ridiculous is very similar to mine (I wonder how that could have happened!?)

    Criminally insane, yes, but they love their fishing

    National Post
    Tue 06 May 2003
    Section: News
    Byline: Adrian Humphreys

    Criminally insane inmates at Ontario's only maximum-security psychiatric hospital will have a chance at winning a fishing trip on picturesque Georgian Bay with the facility's chief psychiatrist if they quit smoking, part of the hospital's efforts to curb problems when it goes smoke-free today.

    *^

    So... if they actually quit smoking, do they get to keep the fish? I'm assuming the Canadian government is paying for this outing. Parliament - some people might argue that's an institution for the criminally insane...

    More ramblings...

    It's still hot, and the air is still off. We walk every morning
    between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. and it's much, much cooler outside than in. The breeze off the ocean is always a relief - unfortunately all our windows face west, which is fine during hurricane season, but not so good right now... however, we'll get through this... by spending a lot of time in the car, among other places.

    24
    Watched it last night (on tape - we always tape it and watch it later - much better - no annoying interruptions - we're advertising's worst enemies), and was once again disappointed by the way they've gone. Kim's character is beyond useless... beyond dumb even. I think the programme has well and truly jumped that proverbial shark. However we'll keep watching because we need to know what happens...sigh...

    Finally....
    An update.
    Not for lack of interest, but lack of time.

    I'll just ramble for a while and see what happens...

    It's been a hectic few months... lots of houseguests,
    travel and a some health issues which we're dealing
    with as best we can.

    A bit of writing - Voyager Virtual Season 7.5's latest
    episode was a compilation written by our 'staff' - a
    wonderful group - and edited by Rocky and me. I'm
    fairly proud of it... and extremely proud of the series.
    One of the best writing and learning experiences I've had.

    Good things are happening...
    We're going to be grandparents - of a little boy -
    in September. Exciting. And amazing. My baby is
    having a baby - trite phrase - except when it happens
    to you - it's not that trite at all... just wait and see!

    It's 90 degrees here - which I don't mind at all. But
    what I do mind is that they've turned off our air conditioning
    for a week as they're redoing our roof. I can bear it most of
    the time, but the afternoon heat drives me out of the house...

    Cruising...
    We're off to sail the seas - a cruise to the Panama Canal - this one known as the condom cruise as it goes in and out of the canal, rather than through it.

    I still haven't been able to view my icon - which is rather frustrating to say the least - but hopefully I'll figure it out sooner rather than later...

    My First Entry
    I've just been introduced to this site by a dear friend, and I think I might have some fun with it... I've never kept a journal, but the idea intrigues me. I guess we'll just have to see what happens....
