Dad? Dad? Dad?

"Hi!  Are you taking a nap?  It's probably time to feed me, huh?"

"Soon, Izzy... soon."

With the ugly dirt in the wind (gusting to 39 mph currently), I was feeling just a bit of cabin fever...

It is a clear day - no overcast.  That is dirt blowing in the air.  We could use some rain here to settle things down, but that isn't in the forecast.

We decided to go to the movies this afternoon.  I must be a real candy-ass... I didn't think there would be anyone out and about today.  Yep, wrong again.  The road through town was full of cars.  Plenty of traffic across the causeway.  It is warm here today, about 85º... but it is in the upper 90s in the Valley.  The Valley folks have come to the island to get away from the heat.  A few small boats out, but the excursion boats had business.  Two foot close waves in 7' of water doesn't sound like fun to me.  Nor getting "sand blasted."  Plenty of people at the restaurants, beach shops, and hotels (judging by the cars).  I guess if you live here and don't have to go to work on Monday, you get more selective about when to be out in this stuff?

Not a big crowd at the theater, but more than I expected.  We saw The Other Woman... probably not a spoiler alert here, if you've seen any previews: the guy is a sleazebag and the wife, the girlfriend, and the other girlfriend get together to pay him back.  Predictable, but funny.  Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann are funny.  Kate Upton is curvy.  It was good casting.  Joan and I both gave it a thumbs up.

Of course, being inside, in air-conditioned comfort, eating popcorn... well, that beats being outside in the blowing dirt any ol' day.
