Okay, so my buddies from grade school and I just turned 60 – not a big deal.  I mean, it isn’t like we need to go out and reestablish our dominion over all creatures great and small.  We’ve done that to death!   But it did seem like a reasonable occasion just to get together and engage in some intellectually stimulating conversation over libations, and also stir up a little low-key competition of the sportsman variety.

To address the occasion, our friends Chris and Betty invited us down to their new place in Tallahassee, Florida for an extended weekend, which would include a lovely birthday/retirement/welcome-to-Tallahassee party for Chris and his friends at a historic Tallahassee manor house, some quality time at some of the nations finest beaches, and in a tribute to days gone by, offshore fishing, and CONSUMPTION OF THE SPOILS!

So, turning three score ain’t half bad!
