Week-end Update
Friday night, the yacht club had a “full moon sail”. Members were invited to the usual Friday night Happy Hour, but also to sail around Teague Bay in by the light of the full moon. Those with sailing certification could use one of the yc small boats. There are Rhodes 19s and Sunfish available. The use of light sticks and other objects of illumination were encouraged. We got there early hoping to eat and get out to the dock to watch the brave sailors dodge each other and moored vessels with variable breezes and limited visibility.
By the time our food arrived, however, the sailors were all safely back in the club house. It was a fun idea. We just don’t know why the kitchen took over 1/2 hour to get 2 bacon cheeseburgers and an order of sushi out to us. All in all, we had a nice time with good company 
.
Anyway, Saturday night, we went to a party in Judith’s Fancy. This was such a large affair that guests would need to park at the gate and be shuttled by taxi van to the villa.
There were plenty of people we knew waiting in the parking area with us, and fortunately there was a bit of a breeze, so we didn’t melt. Three the taxi vans had been hired, and when two finally got to us, we did not fit in the larger one. We got the 7 passenger model. It would have been fine except that the driver had some sort of death wish for us or something. There are numerous speed bumps in this neighborhood. But rather than driving at a sane speed between the bumps, this guy sped up. He’d gun the vehicle from one bump to the next and have to slam on the brakes when we got to the next one. We felt as if we’d go flying through the windshield! It was absurd!
At one point there were kids on bicycles and a dog walking on the side of the road. Do you think this guy slowed down? Hell no! He wasn’t right on top of the next speed bump yet!
The strangest thing was, when we got to the top of the driveway leading down to the villa, he stopped and left the van to make sure there was no other van waiting to come up. We were left to wait for him. So….what was his great hurry, we wondered?
We’re not in the driving business per se, but we do know that you use up more gasoline with that type of driving. This taxi driver should know that, and he should take better care of his passengers, the neighborhood kids and his gasoline buying dollars. Duh!
Anyway, the party was great. Lots of smart, successful people, great food and wine, music and dancing, and folks jumping in the pool with their clothes on. Fabulous!
After all that fun, Sunday was a work day. I had a couple of clients and Michael worked on the pool and the Pumpkin. I got a little painting done and managed to get more paint on the wood than in may hair. Not too bad for an after-party attempt!!
