After being sick in bed with a fever for over a week- Susan is finally feeling better. She was in Virginia last year for the Delray Affair - sooooooooooooooo, she mustered up the energy and we took the Jeep down A1A to Delray Beach. It was great, just the two of us, riding down A1A along the coast in the Yellow Jeep, looking at the beautiful ocean. Our old landlord, Nancy, said that we could park in our old condo place since she has not rented it yet - that was great, because the city of Delray closes Atlantic Ave from I-95 to the bridge at the Intercoastal Waterway. We pulled into the parking space at 27 East Rd. only to hear our old Snow Bird neighbor say, "Welcome Back". Carol and Pete were our neighbors from January 1 - til April 1. They come down from New Hampshire every winter to play golf and hang out in Delray. After a short visit of catching up on neighborhood gossip, Susan and I mosied over to Atlantic Avenue, across the old familiar bridge, past the Blue Anchor Pub and into the crowd of Craftsmen. Craftsmen set up tents with their ware, as thousands of folks ascend on the avenue for what is called: Delray Affair. One of my favorites is "Statue Guy" - this guy is like "Silverman" in Key West - he sits for hours like a statue and only raises his pinkie to acknowledge a tip. He is amazing. Thousands descended on Saturday to buy crafts and to taste conch fritters from Key West, Groper tacos, Gyros, and yes, my favorite: the All American, Yes Bygod, Who Knows what food group to assign it to, Hot Dog with Yellow Mustard, Relish, and Onions!
Susan and I had a great time and then headed up A1A to a waterside restaurant called Banana Boat. It was great to see Susan up and about. Frank, Dana, and her friend Marina breezed into town Thursday evening for a stopover before heading back home. They had been down to the Keys for Spring Break and were heading back home. Susan was sick in bed, so I took them to the Tiki Bar at the marina and we had supper. It was great to see them! Stay a little longer next time Frankie.

Hey guys,
Glad to hear you are finally doing better Susan! Looks like Delray was a lot of fun! Did you get any cool art? Or inspiration? Well we had a pretty busy Saturday at Jay's, putting some siding up! We learn from the masters and had fun along the way. Even though they all said the temperature was ideal for such labor, I had to disagree... what's new... Another 20 degrees would have been ideal! We were lucky however to have a dry day, today is a complete mess of rain and cold nastiness! Hope to see you in a couple of weeks!

We bought two cool art pieces, Vickie! Wayne's gonna put some shots of them up soon. Yesterday we went to the West Palm Beach Gay Pride Festival in support of our friends Olivia and Nicole. It was a blast. It started raining really hard, so Wayne and I ducked in this tent to stay dry as he had the new camera with him. Well, it was the performers' tent and it was a trip. I think Wayne's gonna put some pics of yesterday up, too. Might have overdone it a bit, though, so just laying low today.
LOL sounds awesome. I can't wait to see the pics. How do you like your new camera Wayne? 5 of my coworkers (the geeks of the team, you know, the programmers) all bought the same one last year... They are all really happy with it!
