Before I Go-Go
Two more months to live it up in Tampa. I've been a Florida resident since 1981 (minus four years spent in Boston) and do believe I've done all there is to do here.
Or have I?
Theme parks and nudist resorts. Lowry Park Zoo and Bo's Ice Cream. MOSI, Gasparilla Arts Festival and the Dali Museum. Beaches and outdoor concert series. Beastie Boys at Jannus Landing. Armani's, The Columbia Restaurant and Bern's.
I've Worn. Ybor. City. Out.
What about the rest of Florida? I survived road trips to Key West, Miami, and St. Augustine. Blew too much money in Boca. Enjoyed Tallahassee and threw up in Gainesville. Sounds about right.
Let's see...
Haven't done Wednesday night at Pegasus yet. What about a surgical experience at St. Joe's - maybe hernia repair or something fun like that? I gotta get me some of that NakeDan the Handyman. Been meaning to hit St. Pete.
What else should I do before heading west?

Canoeing on the Wekiva River is a must-do Florida experience. The boys will love seeing the alligators.
Alligators? Good God, man, don't you know me at all...
Probably a good idea to have a hot affair with a fellow blogger before you go.
What about watching a Shuttle Launch? Or taking a nice lazy tube ride down Ichetucknee or Rainbow River??
I spent several happy years of my childhood in Daytona Beach, and I've got to say that you absolutely must drive on the beach in Daytona. Its really a neat experience and I think just about the only place in the world where you can do it. Rent a ragtop and spend the day with the top down, the sun shining in and the surf on the driver's side. A quintessential Florida experience- enjoy!
Nice...which should I do first?
I just read this. Well, I think you should take a nostalgic trip down memory lane. You know, toilet paper former lovers' homes. Who cares if they don't live there anymore. Invite Ryan and Tony for a gratis snack at Lowry park concession stand, the best place to dine before prom. Then, go see a fine play at Chamberlain. Better yet, show up for an audition. Then show up at Alicia Moore's first apartment with spackle and paint and offer a belated touch-up job for the misc. parties she hosted. She probably still owes a security deposit.
So sad! No former lovers - although I wonder if Joe, Andrew or Mike still live around here. I think if I tried to throw a roll of toilet paper in the dark nowadays, I'd probably do even more damage to my body. :-)
And Chamberlain is like an inner-city school now. Gotta love white flight.
Trust me, you should rest up for your move!
Our pending dash to Colo. is coming fast. How did we fit this much crap in such a tiny house???
Purge, purge, purge, everything must go ...
