Wow. I'm still not "working" and I still don't have time to blog. Blame it on the beach.
It beckons -- every day – as does the sunset here on the island. We noticed this phenomenon shortly after our arrival. The beach will be almost empty of people around 6:30 p.m., and then around 7:30, the crowds arrive: people line the beach -- eerily reminiscent of the Nicolas Cage movie about angels – and wait. Off in the distance, we can usually hear some bad lounge singer wailing out Kenny Chesney’s “When the sun goes down” or some Jimmy Buffett tune. It’s part of the charm of this place. I’m beginning to love it.
And, we’ve been busy doing other things like attending Devil Ray’s games. They actually won a game against the Yankees Friday night. Shocker. Hope they win today, we’re headed to the game.
I’m counting the days until the first pre-season game for the Bucs. Yes, Virginia, there’s such a thing as too much fun.
My daughter and grandson (and son-in-law) came down for a visit. We trekked over to the “happiest place on earth.” Orlando is a great place to people watch. Visitors from around the world crowd into the outlet malls that hawk designer items for shockingly (high) “bargain” prices. Americans don’t shop there.
I have been doing other things, like looking for a job and freelancing. Light on both, due to the too much fun thing.
I’m interviewing for one job that I really really want. More on that later. Wish me luck.
And, then again, there’s a part of me that’s enjoying living up to the sign that hangs on the front door of the cottage: Beach Bums.

Ahhh...sounds wonderful!!
Isn't having the summer off to do the fun stuff well, fun? I've enjoyed this summer more than any summer I've had in a very long time.
Keep enjoying yours and keep us posted on the job that you "really really want!"

I haven't had the summer off in I don't know when. So I should just relax and enjoy it.
