Key West is busy this weekend.

Normal that weekends are busy this time of year. Yes, the tourist season is over. Business is poor during the week. However on weekends the town is packed. The visitors are from the north. Except they are Floridians. People from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and other places to the immediate north. They drive. No plane fares to deal with. Prices for lodging and food are slashed. Bargains are in the air! And south Floridians properly take advantavge of them every year at this time!

My Saturday was a solid one. I did it in Key West time as my friend Howard Livingston would say.

I walked in the morning. Did coffee and read the papers at the Coffee House on Duval. Lunched at Paradise Cafe. Watched golf in the afternoon on TV.

I love to go to the movies. However I rarely go. I dislike going alone. I guess I need someone to hold the popcorn!

Last night I said the hell with it and went. Saw State of Play. A good political/newspaper flick with Ben Afflick and Russell Crowe. Fast moving and exciting. Thought provoking.

Crowe was terrific! Could be an academy award nomination in it for him.

Afterwards I drove into town and went to the Keys Piano Bar. Terri White was scheduled to sing. Floridians and locals alike packed the place.

It was good to see Terri and Donna again. It has been a few days. Terri looks trerrific. Her recent Broadway success is evident. She walks a little taller. Head high. Radiates. We will be losing her in the fall when the full Broadway production of Finian’s Rainbow begins.

The only negative yesterday was I screwed up with my drinking. Two before the movie and two later in the evening at the Keys Piano Bar. Such is life! A saint I am not!

The weather continues to be fantastic. Around 85 by day. There continues to be a strong wind off the Atlantic. About 30 miles per hour. Into its second week. Strange. People are talking about it. Whatever, it keeps 85 cool.

Enjoy!

  1. Okay, Ok, I’m almost hooked. Reading your blog is VERY interesting. (You must hire me to check your grammar and spelling.) Your observation of the man/girl at the bar last night was interesting. What we don’t know is if he sat or stood up while relieving himself. Also, he might have gone in the wrong door because he’s dyslectic and cannot read properly. It would be interesting to watch him during sexual activity. Whatever the case, he was a mess.
