Jul. 10, 2006 - Look Out Jack...........Genie's Back
When we where about to leave for Florida I really wanted to say good bye to all of my faithful readers and tell you I was going on vacation, but I had to put up a new listing and tie up the loose ends on my existing ones. As you know, I have been pretty busy. I have actually been back for about a week now, but I had to try and tend to more loose business ends before I could come out to play.
On the way to Treasure Island, where we had a condo on the Gulf, we stopped to visit a couple of friends of ours who live in The Villages. We had seen the DVD they send out about two or three years ago and I wasn't really very impressed, I kind of thought it seemed like Disneyland for Seniors on Steroids. But let me tell you something, when we stopped to visit Alex and Mary Jeanne Reich, our friends that live there, we were absolutely blown away. We have to check back in January or February to make sure it's not to cool in the day time. If it checks out, I think we will seriously consider moving there in a couple of years.
We had the distinct pleasure of bumping into Macho Man Randy Savage in Gruppers Grill on Treasure Island. I knew he looked familiar, and I thought maybe he was maybe the bouncer from The Rusty Spoke here in Chicago or something like that. After making some small talk and chit chat, I realized I was in the presence of WWF greatness. We had a real nice talk and as we about to leave I apologized for busting into his space. His final words to me were "Hey man, no sweat, we're all just beach people here".
The Illinois State Police welcomed me back to Illinois with a speeding ticket. We came out of Kentucky (speed limit 70) doing 80 on cruise control. As soon as I crossed the Ohio River I spotted the trooper on the over pass, cancelled the cruise control and dropped down to 65. Too late. There were about seven squads on the other side of the over pass, lights flashing. The sneaky snakes were having a field day with their speed trap. Oh well.
OK, I gotta go. See ya real soon, OK?
