I don’t know if I should write about the way Saturday started off. Screw it - here’s what happened. I live in a storage facility. No, I’m not camping out in a 10×30 or anything like that. The manager gets an apartment built into the facility and I’m her roommate. [...]

I don’t know where the charger for my AA batteries is right now, [...]

My roommate and I have so many slot club cards now it’s almost getting rediculous. We don’t really gamble much, but they give you some pretty good free stuff just to get you back into the casino, so it makes sense.
We don’t go down to the Strip all that often, but being at the [...]

I know there are some people out there who actually read this, and I would like to apologize for failing in my blogging lately. The truth of the matter is that I’ve been just too run down to come up with any sort of quality product. Between the stress of work and some [...]

Your Face on the Moon, Thanks to X Prize Foundation
OK, so it’s a 1MB pic and some text on a DVD, but it’s only $10.00 and the funds go to a good cause. It’s also quite a bit cheaper than travelling there yourself . Even if nobody from another planet ever sees [...]

I like to close out the day with something positive if I can and today it seems that fortune has smiled upon me and my guardian angel has seen fit to look out for my mental health.
It took a while, but my “Wahine Man” CD has arrived !!!
I wrote about ordering it a while [...]

Just a couple of days ago, I wrote a post about a new product called “Pocket Shots.” Basically, pocket shots are flexible plastic pouches containing a single servings of hard liquor.
I happened to be in Margaritaville Las Vegas shortly after writing that post and was chatting with the very nice and very cute cashier [...]

Meet the “Cosmic Muffin”
Yes, finally it’s an actual Parrothead and Jimmy Buffett related post !!!

I don’t know how many of my readers have ever read “Where is Joe Merchant” by Jimmy Buffett or heard his album “Banana Wind” so I’ll explain the connection a bit between Jimmy, Parrotheads, and a boat that used to [...]

Welcome to the Home of the Boat Drunks!!!
(He said) I wanna take your boat as far as it goes, feel Jamaican sand between my toes,
I wanna ride on the wind just as far as I can,
I won’t be any trouble to haul- I can sleep anywhere at all,
And I don’t eat very much for a [...]

It all kind of hit me - what is up? Where is [...]

That’s the good news.
The bad [...]

I’ve got to say that Margaritaville is a great place for dinner and hanging out, but it can get just a bit crowded on a Friday night. My former boss (and great friend) from Captain’s Cove came into town last Friday (along with a couple of her parrothead friends) for a trade show and was [...]

Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville
In case you hadn’t figured it out by my screen name, I’m a devout follower of that great storyteller and musician from the deep south, Jimmy Buffett. I think I’ve got just about everything he’s ever recorded, with the exception of the “Margaritaville Cafe” series of CDs. I’ve read all of his books [...]

Captain’s Cove
I mentioned my favorite job in my last post, so I thought I should explain a bit more. Captain’s Cove is a small gift and souvenier shop in Seaport Village on the waterfront of downtown San Diego. It’s really a lot more than just a gift shop, it’s also a second home for some [...]
