Winding Down

Sorry no music yet. Hipcast seems to be under the weather. I'll keep trying periodically.

It's still cold and windy today, much too cold for a boat ride--in fact, even too cold to fill the gas tank, which we do manually from individual 5-gallon containers. We just came in from spending more money, this time on a pair of jeans for Steve at one of the many discount outlet malls here. We took a walk down by the ocean, just long enough to have our breath taken away by the cold ocean breeze! From here on out it should be pretty quiet. We'll pack up tonight and hit the road very early tomorrow morning, to be home before noon and take up all the put-off weekend chores. I'm churning up ideas for some good, meaty posts, and look forward to the luxury of lengthy cogitation during the week.

Have you tried to buy bluejeans lately? A mainstay of the outlets here was Levi-Strauss, and they're gone! Have to put up with Gap or--oh, no--Guess!jeans. Oh, Boomers, how we have fallen! Has the uniform of protests and be-ins gone the way of the zoot suit, the raccoon coat? Unthinkable!
