See the sunshine

What a good day it has been.  The sun has been out all day with a few chubby clouds on the horizon.  Had to go to the dog park for a while.  After a good run, I let him splash around in the lake and then it was off for a quick bath with the hose.  I have to start remembering the sunblock!  Am getting way too dark.  The PrideFest went on today down in Ft. Laud but didn't have the energy to drive all the way down there after driving all over the state this past week.  Rented a video, bought a bottle of hearty wine and will relax this very nice evening.  It's nice enough to have zero a/c on and the windows wide open.  Love winter in Florida.  Saw T and she asked me to go to a country bar with her this evening but, nah, just not into it.  I can appreciate country music but it's the atmosphere I think I'll not be into.  If I do manage to push myself out the door tonite it should be to that blues bar I heard about that's not too far...that would be nice.  At any rate, I do have to comment on that ridiculous story coming out of DC about the "DC madam" who is threatening to open up her little black book.  Oh geez Louise, I was laughing.  I bet there are a lot of people who are shuffling around their lives right now with their minds going a million miles an hour because they know they are in that book.  Wouldn't want to be in their shoes right about now.  The Iraq situation is serious enough isn't it?  Then again, either they cover silly stories like that to give us a break from the hideous truth OR they are trying to divert our attention.  Either way, look away.  We've got to avoid processing that stuff sometimes, don't we?  Why don't we just go swim in the ocean and hope we get a glimpse of a turtle?  We can follow it around for a while...that should be fun, don't you think?
