Best Laid Plans…

So, Haulover Beach being out, since Angie wasn’t feeling well, we opted for a local romantic getaway with a tropical theme. 
Second day into it we spent some time at the emergency room, Angie feeling really poorly.  Diagnosis was viral infection, influenza.  We laid back and rested, came home Friday.
Funny how things go.  Had we gone [...]

It’s Official Now

Florida is off, too  much stress involved.  BUT!  We have an alternate week planned, no stress.  We’re going to Don Q Inn about an hour from here, a lover’s retreat.
We’ve got the Jungle Safari suite, tropical with a big whirlpool and almost like somewhere southerly.  It’ll work.  I mean, how many places have a [...]

Not so great news, for us.

Angie’s got the flu, or something (it’s been going around here) and can’t seem to kick it.  Thinks she’s  better, goes to work and get’s sent home.
We’re probably delaying our Haulover trip by one day, so far.  Any more and we cancel.  I feel so bad for her, she’s trying so hard but is so [...]

Don’t Read This

I said I wouldn’t talk about it again so I won’t.  Unless you keep reading, that is.
Why is it that the weatherman is only right when the forecast is bad news?  ‘Sunny and warm tomorrow’ usually means rain or snow.   But, oh, noo.  ‘Nasty cold miserable weather with lots of snow and sleet’ means exactly [...]

Mama Tembo

Or in this case, Mama Feline.  I told you in a past post (‘About Us‘)  about how Angie saved the critters, and me.  Well, they have become quite taken with her.  This cat  used to be referred to as ‘Fluffy Who?’ around here because of his famous lack of presence anywhere that people were.

Now Angie [...]

Haulover Soon!

  Gettin’ pretty excited.  After this miserable winter which is supposed to be over but up to nine inches (snow, that is) expected tomorrow, it ain’t over yet.
But, Tuesday!  Early flight and, airlines permitting, Haulover Beach in the afternoon.  Yay!  Fly home on Sat.  Hello Sunburn City!
Cheap motel on the beach, a hundred yards from [...]

Let Freedom Ring!

Thank God for the alert action by Wisconsin’s Finest in protecting us from ourselves!  Risking life and limb (not to mention risking looking like total fools) the cops nabbed a dangerous criminal right in the act.
Totally sober, on a bet with his Dad, a teenage boy criminal ran across the lake behind their house, get [...]

Angie’s Sick

She’s got the flu, or something, from someone at work and is not a happy camper.  It’s so hard to handle it when someone you love is hurting.  Like when you have a sick kid.  You feel helpless.
But, I did good!  A hot fudge sundae helped..  Plus barbequed ribs and mashed potatoes. 
So much for [...]

What if…

What if there was a beach used exclusively by blind nudists?
Q: How can you recognize a blind man at a nusist beach?
A: Its not hard…
Ok, bad joke. 
In the minds of many, it’s not the fact of nudity that is so shameful, it’s being seen naked that is bad.  It’s the sight of the body that [...]

Spring Break!

Woo woo!  We’re going to Haulover Beach!  If everything works well we’ll be there the 26th thru 28th of March, a long needed respite from this goddamn frozen hellhole of Wisconsin.  Pardon the language but this has been one awful winter.
Thanks to Angie’s new airline job, we get lots of free air travel and [...]
