Feeling Verile in Vero

Gian (my stepson whom I've known for 23 years) and his wife and family live in Vero Beach Florida. As I mentioned earlier, the roads in Florida are long and straight. The Surveyors had a blast here, and everything is laid out on a grid. We are staying at a plush hotel on Orchid Island. One of many Florida barrier islands. This isnt California, this isnt Palm Springs,nor Aspen nor Santa Barbara. This is Vero. It is warm, the surf is pounding outside our window and most of all we are here for our new Grand Baby Sophia. Sirus seems so old at 3.5 years - he is great fun and as always we have a good time together.

Gian and Brenda lead a busy life around the family and I wonder how young parents ever got by without cell phones. All in all it is great being with the family. We are trying to keep up with them, but not doing so with much vim or vigor.

The last few days have been stressful for me with work. The web business is going strong, lots on the plate right now and combining the busy family schedule with constant emails on my Blackberry and cell phone calls. Not much of a vacation. But then again we all know that Family Vacation is an oxymoron. All is choice. And I really needed to solve the crisis at work. I think it is handled to the tune of some thousands of dollars out of my pocket. No problema. Hey its only money and if thats what it takes to buy good will, it is a cheap price to pay. It was my mistake and Im going to have to eat it. But I digress.

Tomorrow is another busy family day so I must hit the rack...

Until next time -
