Spring Break is right around the corner - the reservations desk at the condo where we stay was busy fielding calls when we checked in: "No, I'm sorry, but you must be 25 years of age to make a reservation here in March. No, it makes no difference that your parents stay here often; we will check and if you are not 25 you will be turned away." All the tee-shirt shops, bars and clubs are stocking up. One motel sign said "Waffles, WIFI and WII" What more could you need?
However, the town and beach still belong to the snow birds (or "Winter Texans" according to some signs) this week. I believe there were more out-of-state auto licenses on the island than Texas plates this last weekend. We cruised through the Park and Marina areas and we saw plates from New York, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado... if it is a northern state it was represented.
Speaking of WIFI, my thanks to Rick Miller for sharing his wireless connection during our stay. I don't know Rick personally, and I didn't exactly ask if he would share, but since the condo charges for WIFI and Rick's connection is hanging out there with no password required it was a no-brainer.
Chatting at the break with my new director at Recording for the Blind last week, I asked what she did in real life? She said she was a "Remedial Minister" for the Lutheran church.
What?She said that she is an interim minister when a there is a gap at a Lutheran church; minister leaves but another is not ready to take that place. However, because of her training in corporate psychology, they only place her where there is a need to mediate problems or heal wounds. "Remedial" is her term - the church calls it something else. Said it was interesting, but tough work. Hmmm.
And since I have been on a snow kick recently, I thought I would share proof that some areas received two feet of snow:
