OHWHATASCHMUCKIAM!!!!!

Dear readers, I am so sorry to say that I woke up about 3:30 this morning and realized that I was so excited about heading to the Keys, that I very, very selfishly left out a very important part of the trip.  The week before Gretchen flew in, I spent the week with another very dear friend, whom I have known for over 30 years.  We have been through many things together and still have a wonderful time.  We spent the week playing golf, playing the Wii and Scrabble.  Eileen always wins on the Wii and mostly I win at scrabble.  Golf is for fun, but her game is ever improving and my has definitely gone down the tubes!  Anyway, Eileen was gracious enough to put me up between the time I left my condo and the time I left Florida, and again last week.  Although it is not an excuse, I guess she is like a sibling in that we sometimes take them for granted and forget to single them out for thank yous!  Therefore, I humbly apologize for being so self-centered that I got caught up in my own adventure.  And I sincerely hope Eileen will forgive me - and I will make a sincere effort to be more thoughtful.  Thanks for reading.  Ricci
