I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what was the best part of this last weekend at a friend's beach house on Sanibel Island. It could have been either...

a. bicycling across the island to the lighthouse and then watching dolphins only 20 yards offshore.

b. late night poker games with college football bowl games in the background

c. sitting on the wrap-around verandah with a glass of Mead while watching fireworks across the bay over the city skyline of Ft. Myers on New Years Eve.

d. swimming in the 78 degree heated swimming pool on cold moonlit evenings.

e. sitting in a packed hot tub with bottles of wine on cold moolit evenings.

f. walking the beach at night between massive spires of recently built sand castles.

g. playing ROCK BAND with optional accessory strobe lights and fogger machine.

h. going to the jazz club "Ellington's" and eating a tremendous RibEye steak while listening to a really good quartet.

i. being at "Ellington's" and seeing Kevin Nealon of "Saturday Night Live" on the dance floor.

j. going to "Che-burger Che-burger" and having an 'apple pie/cinnamon bun milk shake'.

k. spending the weeknd with old friends and making new ones.


There were so many good things to the weekend and I can't just choose one!
