Wednesday Morning

Well Tuesday was an eventful day that started with a 6'ish rollout to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger root while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator while lifting several up by name and giving thanks for my many blessings. I got in a good two hour workout on the pickle ball court with some good players then headed home on my bike to piddle around in the garden after lunch.

It was a beautiful 60 degree morning but quickly warmed to the upper 70's by early afternoon with bright sunshine. Nancy put the a/c back on after a day or so of having no humidity. I harvested a bunch of lettuces for both neighbors as the temps have caused the lettuces to mature quickly. I still have to harvest and then replant with some seedlings I've moved up to 6 packs. Everything in the garden is flourishing as I'm still hand watering daily.

I read for a couple hours prior to getting ready to head to Tampa and meet up with son, Bobby to attend the Lightning Hockey game at Amalie Arena. We had tickets that were given to him through his office and they were the VIP ones. The traffic was horrendous as I attempted to enter the toll road from Gandy Bridge which was backed up for miles and moving at a snails pace. Luckily we planned on two hours to make the game time. We had awesome seats in the exclusive area which featured buffet style food and an open bar through the course of the evening. We sampled a few items and then I had some cabernet before the puck drop. The Lightning were playing great with a 4-0 shutout to a very good Columbus team. We took the trolley down town from where we parked in Ybor City at a metered lot. When we got back to our vehicles there was a 30 buck parking ticket on our windshields. We are at a loss as to why we paid 5 bucks to get a 30 buck ticket, oh well.

It was after 11 before getting back to Seminole and then the excitement of the evening kept me awake for another hour or so as well as trying to figure out why we both got tickets, LATER
