Anclote Key Lighthouse

The city that is hosting the golf tournament I've been going to is called Tarpon Springs, Florida. I went today for the 3rd day in a row. I wanted to follow Sergio Garcia, but his gallery was too big. Instead, I followed one of the older guys...Justin Leonard. He really got the ball rolling, and when I left...he was tied for the lead. Like the T-shirt says...OLD GUYS RULE!

After the golf, I went into downtown Tarpon Springs. It is known for 3 things. Greeks, a beautiful harbor, and SPONGES! Face sponges, body sponges, dish sponges, and car sponges. You want a sponge...any sponge...you can get it here. Plus...how do I say this delicately...the greeks want to push the sponges on you. Maybe being persuasive might be a better term.

"Hey Mister...you need a sponge. Step in here, and let me help you pick one out."

Why did she think I needed a sponge? I just showered this morning. Think I'm pretty clean. Perhaps I do have that "he's a sucker" look.

I did end up buying a small loofah. It was funny...I asked the greek lady... "Which is the best loofah...smoother or rougher? She replied..."I like mine rough...it takes off more skin." So...rough it is.

I am in Tampa airport waiting for my wife Lisa to arrive. Since we have been apart for over 2 weeks...I'm just figuring she is going to need a good back exfoliation. I just changed my name. LARRY LOOFAH REPORTING FOR DUTY!

I took a 20 dollar sunset boat trip to get this picture. Last time we took it...we had dolphins racing alongside us. No fish this time...but a pretty good going down of the sun.

Check out my FLICKR PAGE for some sponge shots. Who would have thought that sponges could be so exciting? Just absorbing.
