Week-Long Celebrain hurts

A picture from my recent weekend in Sarasota.

We stayed at the dot. No more pictures for the Gallery, though.

Soon after my arrival in Sarasota, I received a phone call offering me a job. I thought it over for a few minutes and decided it would be nice to walk back into the kitchen, pour myself another glass and announce my finding of gainful employment. Thus began the week-long job-finding celebration-spectacular through Sarasota, West Bloomfield, East Lansing, Mount Pleasant, and Royal Oak. (Why do all my Michigan destinations have two word names?)

Drinks at the Ritz. Champagne breakfast the next morning at the Hyatt. Out to Siesta Key Oyster Bar (SKOB) with my cousin and another friend for the night. The drink of choice was a large plastic pail filled with various rums and juices; it is affectionately referred to as the Village Idiot. Three digit bar tab.

My sister has a nice old house in East Lansing. It is next to the Marathon station on Michigan Ave.

Mt. Pleasant Meijer doesn't seem to carry the game Monopoly... for PS2

First day on the job was spectacular and party like. I guess the work hard comes after the play hard in this situation.

Looks like I might be bedding down with Ben B. in Royal Oak. Village Park is the current leading contender. It is within stumbling distance of various reputable establishments.
