Rock and Roll

Last night we had the rain come in in the afternoon but the gusting winds came in the evening and lasted all night. We are in a protected marina and still the rock and roll challenged our fender boards (you take a 2x6 boards, run lines in each end, put fenders down and the boards in front of the fenders—keeps you off the pilings that are the dock and lets you adjust to the tides). We are on vacation so we were able to sleep late—glad of it. Earlier yesterday we had a great day and a car so we did some site seeing. At the end of the Cape Haze/Boca Grande peninsula is an area called the Fishery. It reminds you of a little Hawaiian art village and some great little houses with different art, plants and novelties. Anheuser Busch bought a little airport across from it a few years ago and now it is a fabulous small jet airport for the Boca Grande patrons to fly their jets in and out. I am staying a little in touch with things at Vanderbilt. I am amazed that human resources can make time to send out a notice on how to adjust to Daylight Savings Time but when I try to get them to tell me how much I need to send to Benefits Express to continue my insurance –I can’t get an answer. Way of the world I guess and I will keep trying. The Oldies Station down here is playing for the older than we have had: this morning we woke to Frank Sinatra and “My Way”, Dionne Warwick going to San Jose and Sammy Davis, Jr : “I Gotta Be Free”.
