We've had a couple this visit, but the most recent was particularly invigorating.
It was during one of our mid morning walks; two dolphins approached within
50 feet or so of us. What was extraordinary was the fact that we were walking
on the sidewalk at the time!
No, just kidding, but they did get really close to us in the ocean, sometimes
swimming towards the beach, not just parallel. They even waved their tails at us!
Oprah Winfrey was riding one of them. She and her dolphin performed
a unique duet of "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down." Ms. Winfrey displayed
a surprising range that captured the essence and guttural depth of
Levon Helm. Unfortunately,the dolphin (Adolph) sounded like Betty Boop and his
incessant clicking missed the beat.
The other dolphin,seemingly unimpressed, left with a flourish. Oprah left shortly
after, noting that she wanted to avoid the inevitable crush of her worshippers.
Pat, displaying a previously hidden swimming talent, caught up with Oprah in
Clearwater. They enjoyed a quiet afternoon discussing the merits of exercise
and diet.

Adolph and I had lunch at Guppy's. He had a salad; I had the mahi mahi.


I'm having a hard time believing that Mom was discussing diet. Did she say this while consuming a gallon of ice cream? I understand a blogger's right to stretch the truth a bit, but come on!!!
ReplyDeleteJim,

You surely were taking mushrooms during this whole experience....
Offense is taken by Geeg, Jeweliep. You owe me major suck up time in CT. Maybe a trip to Carvel will suffice.
ReplyDeleteGeeg aka Mom
I'll have what he's having!

I'm sorry Geeg. There is nothing wrong with loving ice cream!!
