A Hollow Wean
Yesterday was the BIG day. But it was Wednesday, so since we’ve been rationing our fun lately, we didn’t go anywhere. We didn’t know where to go. Most places tried to have their parties last week-end, but the rain made some postpone the festivities. Unfortunate, because this week-end is really busy for us with the Isreal Vibration/Midnight concert at Island Center on Friday night, and then the Yacht Club Auction for the Junior Sailors Program on Saturday night.
Normally, I would not go to this particular YC function, thinking that anyone who belongs to the YC can afford to pay for their kids’ sailing program, but the STYC has been actively been reaching out to the community and getting kids from “not so well-off” families involved with sailing. So we’re going to support that. Sailing is a wonderful and rewarding art/sport and since the water is RIGHT there, I believe more local kids should be able to participate and learn about the various elements of our natural marine environment. And, of course, to have fun with fellow sailing/boating enthusiasts.
Anyway, the only costumed things we did this year were Rocky Horror, where Michael and Goliath (my heroes) won great prizes while I was “convalescing” in the car, and the doggie parade, where Goliath was the only one of us in costume. Of course, we HAVE had a couple of other concerns lately with the surgeries and all….So not a lot of prep time for that sort of thing. Again, not knowing if I’d feel up to doing things like that, especially when they are always lasting late into the night. I just heard this morning that the casino had their party last night (I’d forgotten all about them, and I’m not a huge casino fan anyway, even though I did win a prize one year there). And VICARE is having theirs (postponed from last Saturday) on Friday night.
So, we’ll miss that one too. But we should have a fun week-end anyway. We’ll let y’all know next week…..
