THURSDAY
Cribbage: Joe wins again. Ho hum.
Sultry weather. Humid with off and on showers. The boys did an afternoon session at the Village Pump. Nothing much exciting. I have a bad head cold, and today was my low point day. At night everyone (except me) went out to the Ambry for German food. Elaine and I hjave been going there for over thirty years. I missed it as I hit the sack early with a bottle of NyQuil.

FRIDAY
Cribbage: Joe wins close game!
Weather = RAIN. Steady and heavy. Record rainfall for the area. Since the BVR has a cocktail party with food on Friday nights, we decided on a nice lunch. Everyone met up at Shooters on the Intercoastal, not far from the hotel. Very good food. I had an excellent cheeseburger, and the cape codders were delicious. The cocktail party was not a roaring success like last Friday: less people, less food, but plenty of alcohol.

SATURDAY
Cribbage: Lino breaks out with her first win; whining ceases temporarily. Last game tomorrow.
Sue and Larry left this morning for their ride home to Estero on the other Florida coast. The rest of us ventured to Gulfstream Park for the opening day of their championship meet. The girls hit all the shops – there are lots! Lino won money on a slot machine in the casino. I was shutout at Gulfstream but managed to hit a race at Aqueduct and one at Tampa, so it wasn’t a total disaster. We got free Gulfstream pens and calendars which we plan on giving to the hotel staff.
Saturday dinner will be in a little while at the Blue Moon Fish Company. A report on that tomorrow, our last full day in LBTS. We fly home at dawn on Monday.

Too bad the weather has not been better. Thank goodness weather doesn’t interfere with enjoying a drink or 2.
Pats on tomorrow. I hope you get to see it .
Good flight back.
Your record breaking rains was the lead story here the other night. Feel better!!
Ina long, long ago time, I used to travel on business to Amex in Weston, always stopped at Shooters, great location on the intracranial. Then a stop on way back to hotel at Carvel for ice cream!!
Say hi to all from us.
Sounds like you had a great vacation with great friends. I hope you had a great dinner at Blue Moon Fish Co. Have a safe trip home. Go Pats !!!
My condolences. I HATE a head cold. Take decongestant before you fly, but no drinks!
