Haven’t blogged much – had to run to Tampa for a week to cover a project. I miss my ocean breezes – geez, it’s humid here.

On the job, we’re doing what’s called ‘flying steel’ meaning the guys are running the heck out of a crane & setting beams & joists. It can be dangerous work so I’m glad I’m just the guy barkin’ at everyone.

Deb decided to make the trip. I kept bugging her saying there was no sense in her staying home alone rattling around in that house. We took a suite for the week to give ourselves some space. (That was a compromise on my part.)

Our niece lives a mile from the hotel so we had a chance to meet up with Ryane and her boyfriend Ryan (try keepin’ that straight) last night. They want us to go out with them tonight. I keep tryin’ to ‘splain to everybody that – “I Ain’t As Good As I Once Was’ – This old guy trying to keep up with 20something year olds? Whaddya kiddin’ me? . Deb, on the other hand, seems to think she’s still a 20something & keeps pace quite well. The word Paaaaaarty – doesn’t do much for me, especially during the week, but I’ll manage.
