Diverdowndoc

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

So after a stimulating night of mentos/Diet Coke fountain and a very filling meal at CPK (California Pizza Kitchen for those uncool of us who aren't using initials for everything), we headed back to Siouxie's place to gab and blog and drink wine.  So here we are...

Heading to Miami

    The time has come for me to leave reality and head south for the second annual blog-blowout/insanely fun time associated with the Herald Hunt.  As you may recall, last year's event included my being physically mauled by a Massachusetts District Attorney, misdirected barbecue, a vibrating suitcase, smashing crabs (which would be a good name for a rock band), Mark Twain, Suzy Q's breasts, and, oh yeah, Dave Barry.   You'll have to look back to my posts from last October for more details, because they are kinda blurry in my recollection.  Incredibly, alcohol was involved.
    So anyway, I am sitting in the Atlanta Airport next to the Convention of Loud Spanish-Speaking Women waiting for my flight, which by law has been delayed.  That is no problem, because there is a Starbucks® inexplicably closed nearby, so there is a gate to look at.  I wouldn't mind the CofLSSW, except that Mr. Diverdowndoc and I went to a wine tasting last night at the Georgia Aquarium.  Since Mr.ddd was the designated driver, I had a REALLY good tasting.  I met Mauricio, who's family owns a winery in Brazil and who is also headed to Miami today.  Apparently, there is a wine festival coincident with the Herald Hunt/Blog Blowout.  They must have heard about last year.

Whoa!!

So I'm blogging/blurking instead of getting ready for work, as usual, when I saw this on WriterDude's site. WOW!

Cross Girl is an artist so wanted to go see  the Coral Castle. Amazing carved coral!

UPDATE:  Turns out the guy that did all of the carving is a TOTAL NUTJOB!  He ate only cereal and banannas to fuel his obsession with some woman named Agnes.  He carved out of the coral, and even transported it to its current site- all by himself.  It only took 4 years.

Overnight developments:
Med's bag arrived at 1:30 am, but being a duffel, lacked the ability to ring the bell.  So Siouxie was alerted by a neighborhood  dog.  When Siouxie brought it in, she heard a buzz from deep inside. When she searched, she was relieved to find it was just her toothbrush. "Bob" didn't make the trip.

Advice for the day from Med: don't shop drunk.
