So I said that I was going to write about what happened on my Vacation a week after it happened.

The first night we did not do much. The second day was Karina’s Birthday. So we did what she loves to do we went shopping again. Across the street fro our hotel was the BAL Harbor shops all these top of the line designers that are lucky I don’t do what they do for the sheer competitive edge that I possess. I would be in the leather imprint of every well made purse and on the side over every over priced set of sunglasses there would be in the Hollywood eye. I know big head.

No really what is great about a mall like this one is that they don’t have a JC Penny. When a mall has a Penny’s they usually don’t have valet parking. The two don’t mix. And I would much rather the mall I frequent not have a valet because like I said I do like to my own parking and the illegal aliens dressed in nice little suits to make them disappear don’t like to park my FOCUS either. The winning combo is thought where a mall like this fancy pants place also has a GAP. Having been a GAP employee for several years I will tell you they have great sales. But sales and stuffing a 10 into Jesus’ hand to park your 100 grand worth of Bentley, they just don’t go together. (And I am being nice, to get a Bentley for 110k it would either have to be used or wrecked, New the cheapest one you can get Is 147k) And in Miami there are no men my size shopping at this mall. If they are my height they are a 28 waits and gay. Probably doing make up at the MAC store with their face painted like a water lily. The rest of the men who would be my size are not shopping. There is top-notch golf and the beach with all the women to objectify. Why shop? Did I mention that the beach is topless so you have these old nasty German Grandmas are out there looking as if they were the wet nurse to an entire orphanage. So I found jeans my size.

We went to a Cuban restaurant that was so good we went back two more times in the week we were there. Amazing food.

We went to the keys and then drove on out too the end to key west. That was cool. I so would not want to live there. I used to fantasize about Lining in Key West like it was some beach city on the sea. I think there are much better beaches down around Cape Lookout, North Carolina.

So here are some pictures of us on to old vacation. Try not to say “you look like your dad Dainer”. I know it is only in love but it is just not what I want to hear.

And one more thing. On the way to work this morning on NPR, I heard this great African Trio. It was the closest thing to speaking in tongues I have heard in a long time. Since I grew up judging a church services on emotional carbonation it was just the right about not a different language, you know other than Spanish. That is not even foreign anymore, I think I could be “in the flesh” and give a pretty good interpretation.

Hey folks I am back from my vacation in Florida. I am tanned and rested and ready for Christmas. I will be filling you in with pictures of what we did where we went all that jazz like a week after it actually happened. Like FCC delay that is on live tv! So a week ago today we were on a plane and no we did not take pictures of that but we did go shopping when we go there a the mall across from our hotel and Karina was pooped out afterward.

I am still in chill mode this morning at work. I want a cup of Cuban coffee and a good cigar. I need to be shorter so that I would not look so stupid in a straw derby.

OK so last night my dad and I watched “Anchorman” in all of its crassness. My dad loved Brick. He said I like Brick, … I do I like brick. It was right before the part where they go through the “I love lamp” deal I about cracked up laughing and he did not know why I told him to wait and when it came on that he had said his line just like the Character he was so demure like, So, So what. My mom caught it. She was laughing but I think at me.

I saw a car exactly like mine on the way to work this morning. That is bad. Mine is supposed to be the only Grey on Grey and this lady had one already. I was miffed. She thought it was cool though. We raced all the way through Austin.

The parents left today. It was a very relaxing visit I would say concerning it was my parents who think to relax is to work at a slower pace. Like their idea of keeping a secret I telling one person at a time. I am glad we do not feel the same tension some of you all do. My folks love me in a very detached different way than they used to. I think it has something to do with rebellion against them at a young age. I respect the wazoo out of them thought and I think that time must have told them I am not an idiot I simply don’t dig long sleeves. That is it. I did go through a long time of minimal to no communication and that was hard. For me I was so lonely for that Family element and the need to be close to some one. I think I might have just self assessed all the petty little girlfriends Steph. Thank God for Karina. She totally validated me as their son. Sweet deal.

Ok change of subject totally but we need one about now right? OK I am telling you what, this bright eyes singer dude. Has any one heard this and liked it at all? I suppose some one has. And if I am just way off in left field please try to help me be cool and learn to like it but my god this “wide-awake its morning” cd sucks a big hunk of cheese.

Sharks are so mean and all but why does it always look like they are smiling? I don’t get it.

On my Keys trip to Florida I am thinking about hopping a boat and moving to Cuba with only the clothes on my back! Just kidding. I’ll just go to little Cuba get a fat cigar and chew it like the mailman back in Neosho.

Ok now I miss my mom. Bye I am getting all sniffly damn it.
