We are now down in the steaming hot muggy hellhole...
... I refer to as the unnamed port city to our south. The sun hits you over the head like a shovel when you walk out and presses you down to the pavement that seems to be softening under the ferocious heat. The air envelopes you like an old wet glove left on the back seat of your car for a week and a half.
But I'm not complaining. I'm too big a man for that.
And it is fun to see our family again. We got in on Sunday just in time for Mother's birthday get together. It was just the immediate family but that still fills up her little condo. It was good to see everyone. My niece and nephew where there together which is unusual now that Jen is going to school in St Louis. Now she is going to spend a semester in Finland and Spain, and then later in Argentina. We have decided to try and visit her.
Heard lots of old family tales that I didn't know about. Had fun. The little lummox was a big hit. Mainly because my Mother spoils him and my youngest niece likes him, which is unusual since she had always been afraid of dogs.
So we are having a good time tonight. I even tried to learn a few words of Irish tonight. We will be back next Sunday so blogging might be a little thin until then.
Slan.

I really like Tampa and I agree with every word you said. Why anyone would voluntarily come to Florida during the summer is beyond me.
See you two tomorrow

Just keep repeating to yourself -- Tampa is too hot and I don't want to retire, Tampa is too hot and I don't want to retire, Tampa is too hot and I never want to retire....
Joey: Your Mom's birthday and my Mom's birthday, and Carmen says this is when we come down. (We are packing up even as I write).
Maire: Tampa is too hot and I don't want to retire. Etc.
