Sittin here drinking coffee on the beach and chillin. SWMBO and myself arrived yesterday afternoon and Unca Beal graciously picked us up from thr airport and dropped us off at the Amelia Oceanfront B&B which literally sits right on the beach. Very relaxing and soothing and gives me some alone time with wifey before I COMPLETELY IGNORE her starting Weds afternoon.
Went to 29s last night for dinner and then walked over to the Florida House and listened to bluegrass while drinking Grand Mariners with Lia and Bobbie Joe....great timr but made for a slow moving morning,,,,hence the coffee on the beach.
Anyway, the down time is very nice but I am gettin antsy to get things goin. Probably gonna call Unca Beal this afternoon and bum a guitar off of him.
I heard that a few more unfortunately had to drop out which is a bummer but I hope everyone who did so is ok!
I am sure others will pick up this thread as things get moving. |

Were those Seattle Mariners? Other mariners are hard to drink...like, for instance "Ancient Mariners" Too dry. If any of those Grand Mariners had a few Grand Marniers in 'em they might have gone down a tad smoother!
APOLOGIES! I just get a real kick out of it when typoes put certain images into my head! And, of course the reason is that I'm the worst offender!!!
HAVE a GREAT time! |

Thanks for keeping a tight rein on me. I always hate to see unintentional grammatical or spelling errors.
I have a feeling that if you keep tabs on this thread over the next week if will slowing start to degenerate. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Stephen, Beal and group: I am sure you all will have a great time...I am so bummed that it did not work out for me this year but it couldn't be helped...At least V still has her job: no time off and no vacations for a few months but it could be worse...
I will be thinking of you all: beware of the Huddle House...tell Matt I said hello...
Enjoy the time w/each other! |

I know you guys and gals will have a great time. Hoist a few for the rest of us.
Mike - same thing happened to me. My company laid off over half of our sales force, leaving just a few of us to cover the whole thing. I'm just thankful it wasn't me. I went through the whole layoff thing a couple of years ago. |

Location: Parrish, FL | It's been just over a year for me and besides a few odd jobs things aren't looking any brighter. To all that can make it, have a great time and say Hey to Matt for me. Tip a couple of beers, rums and a scotch or three and think of those who are absent but will be there next year!

Location: Tennessee | I'm catching a redeye out of LAX tonight ... I meet up with lady stonebobbo in Philadelphia (she's flying from SFO) and we then hop to JAX from there.
I'm hoping to be able to write my Guy song while traveling. I've sorta put it off until now. Oops. :rolleyes:
We'll miss all y'all who can't make it. We'll raise one in your honor. And I'm looking to see who is gonna pull a moody and show up in the bar unannounced. ;) |

I am not sure if Beal made it or not? He was a bit under the weather on Monday so I did not bother him today but thought I might see him tonight.
If he was there we might have been 2 feet apart and never seen each other....it was that crazy! |
