A note on the Wednesday photos – Sweetie Pie had no interest in shooting this day. Fortunately we hung out with Katho and she did. Thanks Katho, great work!

A quick scramble pulls us together and we head down to the gate. The Love Bus is sitting there with GerryG and SuzieQ aboard! I’m still not sure how Lenbert knew to have us called. We hadn’t reserved and if we had we wouldn’t have known we were going to be at SeaStar. I must have mentioned something to Gerry in the morning and when the bus showed up he put the call out. Thanks Gerry, and even if you didn’t I’m sure you’ll say you did with a wicked little smile SuzieQ is seated on the Queens Seat, the big solo seat across from Lenbert. I think Lenbert is sweet on SuzieQ, she commands this seat through the entire afternoon, regardless of circumstances… The Love Bus has waited a little while for us and by the time we’re on board and headed down toward West End road we see Narley Minja headed up the lane. We’ve turtled this thing up nicely.

We share the situational update and the new and revised plan. SeaStar again tonight, down to the beach tomorrow for a night at SeaSplash so Sweetie Pie can experience a beach hotel with some of the gang, and probably back to SeaStar for Friday and Saturday. As for today? What can we do? We can’t change what’s happened and have decided against the course of legal intervention. We do have absolute certain knowledge from previous experience that an incredibly fun time awaits us if we can put ourselves in the right headspace. We commit to a headspace management routine…

We pick up Katho and another couple from Xtabi, a lovely young lady who appears to have married GonJons long gone brother. I have to do a double take. We will make a long run of the day with this group - with Katho to the sweet, sweet end. We had introductions with Katho at the Belly Flop, how can you miss her? Well you could, cause she’s tiny and a bit of a sneak to the corner girl like Sweetie Pie, but she’s so darn cute and has that crazy cool hairdo that stands out even when she’s trying to press herself against the wall. I bond with the Jizzlette doppelgangers when they introduce themselves as wpyogi +1 and inform me that the wp stands for Winter Park! That is an epic ski area in Colorado and since I happen to be wearing a Snowbird t-shirt (an even MORE EPIC ski area in Utah! ) we have a very fun and amusing conversation about winter sports as we bask in the Caribbean sun this afternoon. Fellow ski bums and Negril nuts? How could I NOT love these people?

Lenbert drops us off at Swordfish and says he’ll be back with the beach crew. We have a very nice little pre-party to the party here with just the nine of us. It takes a while for Lenbert to return and we really are able to soak up the Swordfish. It’s almost like two establishments in one with the lower bar and restaurant and the upper bar and roof deck. Very cool and a great location. Great drinks and a little GG/GerryG ruckus get the whole afternoon headed in the right direction.

I’m just noticing, not only is +1 a GonJon doppelganger, but wpyogi herself seems to be feeding off of Marley’s aura…
