Now Here's Some News

We went to watch the 23rd annual Intercoastal Christmas Regatta last night over at Ann and Greg's last night, and it was a really good show. Over 30 boats cruising down the waterway, at least by my count (which ain't too good at times). And almost every one was really decked out with lights, music, and funny looking people. If you'd like to see the video, go on over to my Digitalshores.Net site and click on the Beach Videos link.

Bumper sticker as seen at Key West Crazy, "I Don't Dance When I'm Sober." Remind you of anyone?

New place in Restaurant Row just opened we need to check out - I'll let you know later. Also the NMB version of Damon's is about to open soon. We'll check that out as well.

New feature of this blog - as we come across places we really like, I'll post little mini reviews in this space. So if you want to keep up with What's Happening around town, check back here often, or build an RSS feed to your home page so you'll know when a new post has been added.

BTW - did you all know that William's Sea Oats Cafe closed. It's being replaced by a new type beach bar. AhHa - something else to go check out.

TTFN - and we'll talk again.

So What are YOU Doing over New Years?

Sally & I are headed for the Caribbean, on a sailing ship. Actually, it's a catamaran large enough to sleep 8 people, and we're sailing out of St. Maarten, doing some island hopping, some snorkeling, some rum guzzling, and other aquatic sports. We'll be gone over New Years, probably celebrating the start of 2008 in either Anguilla, St. Bart's, or some pirate's hold on the high seas. Suz, Moms, and the Sis are staying here @thebeach, whilst Sally & I go traipsing across the Caribbean seas. Robin and Kathie and Mel & Joe are also going with, so it should be an interesting and fun trip. Avast ye maties, if you hears the awkward sounds of a Jimmy Buffet refrain off the shores of St. Bart's, that's only Robin and Joe trying to harmonize. More on this later, as we get more finalized as to itinerary, etc. But ........... if you want to check out our sailing vessel and possible itinerary, go to: Promo video for the boat . Also: http://www.festivasailingvacations.com/destinations/stmartinyachtcharter.shtml.

Those 2 sites should give you an idea. What Fun, Eh?

It's time for the workout, so we'll see you next post. And don't forget the Shagmiser Blog. I post to it quite more frequently.

Problem with the Alaskan Videos

I thought I had everything done. all the Alaskan videos created and edited, and posted. Well, I was wrong. Seems I forgot that YouTube has a max limit size on videos uploaded, and I exceeded that on 2 different videos, unfortunately, the best of the lot because of 1) whales sounding, and 2) the fab Mendenhall glacier. I didn't realize they weren't working for you all until just recently, so now I've got to go back and re-cut/edit those videos into shorted sequences, break them up if you will (or won't).

How could I not realize they weren't working? Easy, I watch them from the original source rather than the posted source at Digital Shores.Net. Which was dumb. 'Nough said. I will now go back and re-cut and re-dit the videos so everyone can see them. I just know you're chomping at the bit now. I can hears the cries, "vid-e-oes, vid-e-oes!" So alright already, I should have them this week at the latest.

Did you all set your clocks back? Don't forget your computers (mine did it automatically a week early). Other places not so evident include thermostat controls if you have a programmed thermostat, portable phones around the house, oven/stove clocks, and of course, your alarm clocks. Car clocks (those are the time pieces in your vehicle, not that kiddie clock on your headboard) but don't reset while you're driving, you're Grandfather's railroad timepiece, and last but not least, The sundial in your back yard.

And don't forget my other blog over at my Shagmiser Blog. It's more Internet Business related, but I do and try to keep up with what's going on, what's being launched, what's new on the horizon, so even if you're the least bit curious, check it out. The Shagmiser Blog.

TTFN - and we'll see you around, but an hour earlier!
