Jimmy Buffet

Jimmy Buffet is clearly a marketing genius since he has built an entire successful industry preying on middle aged WASPS desire to be cool and by cool I mean some warped interpretation of the word that somehow translates to men in coconut bras and grass skirts.  Bold.  Very bold.

After attending my first Jimmy Buffet concert I can honestly say I hate his music.  I mean really - 2 hours of the same song with different words.  It was painful.  I even had to participate in the Fins song.  To his credit I did have a fabulous booze fuel blast before the concert and even after the concert when some DJ set up in the parking lot.  Basically, I had a fabulous time at the concert until he started playing. 

I guess the next time I got to Cheeseburger in Paradise I will hold my margarita high to Jimmy B. the marketing genius.

You can't teach and old dog new tricks...

I can think of a hundred examples of the truth in this statement but as it pertains to me I will never be able to keep up with my happenings in this blog.  I swear that I really am trying (that's what all old dogs say) but it has been almost 2 months since I have checked in.  

I am tired just thinking about all that has gone on in the tail end of summer.  I made a brief stops in Madison, Lake Tahoe, and Hawaii and I also participated in plenty of debauchery in SF including pool parties, a trip to wine country and even a weekend in the east bay soaking up all the suburbs have to offer, obviously I am speaking of Target :)  I swear I do work, I have to do something to pay for all the fun.  I guess what I have learned this summer is that California has a lot to offer in the form of entertainment and there is no better time to soak it up then the present.
