Hey Timm-- was just looking at your cottage this morning as I walked through. No need for the tarps this year, everything grew back with a vengance. We got red birch, which is really nice, but way too big for just the two of us.

Ok, so a bit more report. We stayed on the cliffs all day yesterday. Sun and swimming has served to completely clear out my sinuses.... Scotch bonnet may have played an integral role. I feel fantastic this morning.

The resort has three large Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Beautiful dogs, and completely spoiled by life in a resort. Two of them have moved into our living room, which is open air, so I just leave the door open at night. I tried to buy them some biscuits at the hi-lo, but the clerks looked at me like I was crazy, asking for biscuits for dogs...

Dinner was at Ivan's last night, my wife was so adventurous and ordered chicken Alfredo (snort), I had some delicious grilled snapper. As an after dinner treat, she wanted to try something new, and I convinced her bananas flambé were in order. Cindi (my wife) does not drink at all, and when the server poured the over proof rum on the bananas, I knew I would be getting those for myself.

Cook is making me jamaican breakfast again today, she promised breadfruit.

After that, it's swim time, then the ubiquitous shopping trip my wife has to have. Going to hit Times Square to get her an anniversary piece of jewelry, then I would like to try some of those other places I read about.... Hoping to find "aunty's thrill corner" for a pic of the wife to send to all of her nieces.

Beautiful morning, and very quiet. Yesterday evening, there was something going on over by sharks, and a couple argued for a good hour. I think the woman won the argument in terms of sheer volume at the very minimum.
