Breaking News
Did you know that southwest Florida in June is insanely HOT? Didja? We're talking brain-melting, eyeball- liquefying, why-bother-showering hot and humid.
But it's still vacation. And that's all that matters.
The Gulf is brilliantly beautiful, blue-green and bathwater-warm. The sand is delightfully sugary under my feet (even though it clings to every fiber of my clothing, every follicle, every skin cell). I've seen Snooty, the oldest manatee in captivity, visited Sponge-o-Rama in Tarpon Springs and took a ride on the Sponge-o-Rama catamaran out to one of the Gulf barrier islands. Saw dolphins. Lots of really cool birds. (Talked to a few.) Collected shells. Taken daily naps. Well, except for today. We were on the boat during naptime.
Heat advisory tomorrow. Total immersion in the Gulf may be required. Maybe a movie. Probably a nap.
Vacation is tough. But somebody has to do it.

Missed Photo Op!
Tonight we were getting gas and I saw the funniest thing - I so wish I had my new camera with me! On the other side of our gas pump, a guy pulled up on his motorcycle. He did not fill up his little tank. He used the squeegee to WASH THE FACE MASK ON HIS MOTORCYCLE HELMET!
Does this happen regularly? Am I the only one shocked and amused to watch someone squeegee their face - up and down, then side to side?
I didn't think so.

Test Chickens and Human Elephants
I am the world's worst blogger. Nobody cares about shrubberies. Or nobody's reading. Sigh. Oh, woe is me.
My whining just makes you want to slap me, huh?
We've been having a bit of a problem with our words and phrases lately. With my new cooking gadget business, Lizz and I have been practicing lots of fun new recipes and decided to rename our kitchen. Only we kept saying test chicken, which seemed like the funniest thing in the world when we said it. Over and over. Then I was presenting to a new client the other day and attempted to work in something about how an ad series we developed married well with a large company's fine branding campaign. (Uh huh, the Human Elephant.)
Well, that's all I have for now. But a very nice friend just gifted me with a new camera, so I'm looking forward to posting photos soon. Vacation photos, even!
Woo-hoo!
