Interesting





I went to the store yesterday for a couple of things AND to see what the store was like as well.  As one can see MANY people were/had been shopping.  The first thing I noticed was NO carts.  I don't really know but a guess would be most of the time there are up to 60 +/- carts waiting for the taking.  About 20 feet from the in door were 4 carts just there so I took them into the store, kept one and presto the other 3 were taken.  I was in line behind the lady in the bottom picture.  My bill came to $20 and change.  I said to the clerk my bill is maybe the smallest of the day and she said it probably is.
No team tennis today and none tomorrow as well.  No team party tomorrow and no villa party on Thursday so I think it is a good time to think about starting to clean out and redo the garage and also to settle in with a good book.  
I had a funny, well not so funny, experience yesterday that IF I were in a certain mood it would make me wonder.  Our team party was to happen Wednesday.  After talking to some of the players I decided to cancel it.  I put out an e-mail yesterday with thank-you to guys.  I wrote one sentence about each player.  I then mentioned that I had three door prizes that were to be given out and I drew names as to who would get them.  Of the 8 players who received the note ONE wrote a reply.  ONE!!!  I know that when a person has expectations it is a recipe for disappointment BUT one reply out of 8, wow.  In my mind I thought maybe I would get half a dozen replies that would say something like "I will miss the party" or "thanks for a great season" or "you did a great job as captain" I know that is expecting a bit much.  Anyway it was disappointing but then as one looks at our world today it may not be very important!
No, I am going to take a short bike ride and then come home and finish the book I am reading.  I am scheduled to play tennis at 1:30 today as the team match was cancelled so the captain reserved 2 courts for a fun round robin play.  
I had the same kind of breakfast as yesterday sausage, eggs over hash browns and of course that FP that is always delicious.
