Small Updates

Mr. Bill and I will be doing the drive again tomorrow to Miami for his appointment at Bascom.

It's Mini-Season now in the Keys. Locals and mainlanders are here with boats to ravage the waters to collect their 6 lobsters before the fishermen drop their pots. Hemingway Days went well, another Ernest look-a-like was crowned. The Today Show was here doing their bit on vacations. The weather held up and from what I've heard around the islands they stuck to the western side where all the weirdo's and weird stuff is. Did we look like clowns? HAH... All peaceful everywhere else. Jimmy was on tour so they did the substitute music thing.

Mr. R cooks eggs everyday. Hmmmmm is that weird?

Mr. L went out the other day to scout out areas to find lobsters ahead of season and saw just about nothing. We're thinking that there are those out there that are way ahead of season. He went with friends to spearfish while checking out honey holes. Didn't even have fish big enough to spear around the coral heads. But he always brings me home a goodie... tee hee... a Cowrie Shell.... perfect condition and a large one at that, sitting in 20 feet of water. He spots everything, a true treasure hunter. Speaking of treasure, the teams working for Mel Fisher are doing really well now, finding a hoard that is still lost out there. Word on the islands is they are ON IT NOW.

Miss P is doing her thing. Working, enjoying swimming everyday in her pool. She has a perfect wonderful roommate in Anna. She is a treasure and they are true pals as well as co-managers at the M-Store. Her ankle looks so huge and swollen it bothers me but she shusshes me away when I mention it.

Claude Buhler, the travel writer/journalist, along with a fabulous photographer, Kathleen Dodge, came to Louie's for a piece he is writing for a Swiss zine and several mag's. He is gracious, very intelligent, and everything you'd expect of him. It was an honor to have him ask to do a piece on us due to requests from his crowd. We were one of two restaurants in town he did, Blue Heaven was the other. More on that later when the article comes out in France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany, I guess. I set them up for a lunch and introduced them to the chef and the owner, and they thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and view. It is nice to get great comments.

Been busy, although it's been fairly slow. Weather has been up to 90 and wow, that's strange.

We are on candle number 3 for Brownie, they are lit day and night, and the next lit before the prior burns out. He is thought of daily, first thing in morning and last thing at night. The cats are done wondering I think, but I'm sure much more bored than when they had the duty of watching him.

More Later Gators....
