Major flood warnings have been issued. Chris has begged Gini to save herself and just leave him the gin, a smidgeon of vermouth and some olives. (He can be so brave). However Gini will not stand for the gin being left behind and will weather whatever the storm offers.
Flashback to a few days ago…
Our heroes love to walk and one of the reasons is the Miami Beach architecture. Here is just a small sample:
The shelves above the windows are known as ‘eyebrows’. Should they ‘wink’, immediately call a cab.
Chris got a little space-oid with a shot of the Royal Palm Hotel on the beach:
He felt that it was an obvious nexus for aliens and wanted to casually make contact. The rest of the crew thinks maybe they’ll just have brunch there someday.
Meanwhile night photography becomes a challenge from the balcony:
Fast forward to the recent past (don’t hurt yourself)…
Two very wonderful events occurred within moments of each other.
The first was a make your day/month/year variety. Zack Hinchliffe called to announce that he had obtained his GED. Chris was weeping because it was not ‘owed to a fairy tale’ and had finally happened.
Next, Elayne (remember ‘Take Me To The River…’ in High Springs blog?) emailed to let Chris and Gini know that one of her most recent paintings would be on display at a local theater. The painting captured one of the photo experiences during the canoe ride down the Santa Fe River, specifically Blue Springs:
Chris just kept weeping.
Fast forward to the relative present…
Janice and Bill have just arrived. It continues to rain…the force seems to ripple each time new players make the scene. Thank goodness they landed a few hours before the Indianapolis Colts landed at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport. Pro Bowl/Super Bowl weeks are lurking out there.
Eileen (Chris’ sister) left yesterday to drive back to Orlando. She has formulated a sophisticated plan to get a transfer from TDBank (her current employer) to the Miami area as a rich executive. It sounds foolproof.
Val left this morning just two hours before the New Orleans Saints’ team jet landed at the Miami airport. Her plan was a bit more direct. She was going to inform Jan and Bill that their room was no longer available and that it was a real tragedy. We just assume the pedestrian position and hope for the best.
They have resumed flying severely injured Haitian patients to Florida hospitals. This is a good thing.
We give thanks for what we have.
