Yesterday was graduation day, no cap and gown rquired. I simply had to endure 20 treatments of radiation. I have no idea the tolls this energy wave have taken on my body, the doctor claims I have come through spectacularly. For the most part I feel really good and the most recent scans show my head to be cllean, so there ya go, I am graduated. The ceremony was small, a certificate presented by the Doctor;s nurse, some confetti tossed and off to Matagorda for a weekend of celebration and relaxation. I musnt forget the fabulous lunch we had before we went to my graduation, it was Chinese. The plan was to drive down to the coast and meet our friends and spend their 35th anniversary together, they invited us not the other way around. Anticipating the trip and their anniversary I decided they needed some sort of worthy gift, not having a clue I called their daughter, who has designated herself as our " Lovechild." She obviously has parents, she simply has attached herself to me and Pammy out of Love. When I asked her what would be apropriate, she simply said Foodiie type things. Armed with that information there is only one place to go in Austin, Whole Foods. Here is where it got fun, they have a Concierge, for a very minimal fee this woman, she was cute, drug me around asking me all kinds of questions and selecting things. I can tell you now because we presented the give last night and success was had. I never knew the 35th was Jade, Pammy did and she was prepared with a small bowl, success again. We drove about 3 hours from Austin to meet the couple, to only find out the House our friends had rented weeks back was not available because the A/C was not functional. How many people believe that at 6:30 in the evening we could find alternate accomodations, I am not talking hotel, I am talking Beach rental house. None other than my Love chilld could do it, of course could. She got online and by 7:30 we were in another house and I am told it is better than the first for aproximately the same price. here is the part that still blows me away, whomever owns this house took no deposit, in fact he took no money at all. He simply stated his terms and a check wiil be mailed on Monday. This should give pause to even the most cynical I dont consider myself Cynical and it surprised the hell out of me.
Enjoying the Gulf breeze,
Always with love,
Tony.
