...and just in time for the next weekend! long story short:saturday afternoon: the wife and i depart for sunny-but-cold florida on a plane that looks more like a sardine can - a small sardine can.
saturday night: the wife and i arrive in florida, meeting up with her parents, our good old friend Juggs, and her parents.
sunday: still cold. we go outlet shopping and nearly break the bank. i do well enough for myself, with a gorgeous new gold trench and 2 pairs of shoes.
monday: slightly warmer. we putter around the gulf coast with the grown-ups.
tuesday: valentine's day and Juggs' 23rd birthday! we celebrate with warmer weather and frozen drinks by the pool, lunch at the ritz, and more frozen drinks by the pool. i get slightly sunburned. woot.
wednesday: a gorgeous, sunny, true southern florida day. we linger by the pool for as long as possible. i fall asleep in a lounge chair and scorch my entire body. ouch. we leave in time to catch our 7 pm sardine can home.
wednesday night: we arrive home in two pieces. our luggage miraculously makes it too. there is a box of delightful chocolates waiting for us, courtesy of one thoughtful admirer.
... and the time since has been mostly consumed by rolling around in tubs of aloe, eating truffles, whimpering, treading water in meetings and having extremely heated conversations with my old friend, Yves L'Ampoulé.
it's good to be back.
