What to do ... what to do

Fishing

Damn, it was cold this morning. Around 50F but I wasn't going to be cheated out of a morning swim. The pool deck and the pool hadn't been cleaned yet, so I felt I should wait a little before barging into the water right away at 8:00 a.m. I walked out to the dock to discreetly watch the mating manatees and the fishing shore birds, but I was getting really cold so I had to get in the pool.

Very warm swim.Too warm, except that my head was freezing cold, except when under water. I couldn't wait to get into the hot tub, where I sat and pitched dried leaves onto the spa deck.

A little policing of the condo, including fresh sheets for our last four days. We visited  Millennium Park, a perfect temperature on this cold spring day. I had my new camera, but was afraid to change to the long zoom lens on the fly, so I missed out on a few great shots. No matter. It was fun to be out in the jungly foliage, where the birdsong competed successfully with traffic in the distance.

We stopped to sun ourselves in our own beach chairs at Caddy's on the Beach, where I got us a couple of draft beers at the bar. Had dinner at Verducci's. a real Italian restaurant on St. Pete Beach. Unfortunately, I think we chose the wrong meals (chicken parmigiana for me,  fettucine alfredo for Bob), and the portions were so large that we both have very large boxes of leftovers.

A very chilly evening. No swim tonight.
