Place: St Pete Beach, FL 57/73
Main activity: Thurs - TJs, Alesia's lunch w/ Pam
Notes: Went for a sticky windy jog first thing - only 20 min but felt like enough. Left for Trader Joe's around 820a, talked to Joe on the way, he was driving into Delaware in 40 deg cooler (35 vs 75) and bad rain. Gray and stormy all day but way too warm ... rain came in late morning and early afternoon and dumped a lot in some places. Left again 1130a, went to Pasadena Walmart for "trail mix" items and took as much time as I could, steady downpour when I left there and headed to Alesia's (French/Vietnamese) to meet Pam for lunch at 1p. Very loud and very busy but had a great meal and then closed down the place and kept chatting over dessert. Didn't leave until about 3p. Heard from Joe and chatted on the way back, circled Pass-A-Grille and parked down by the bay as we kept talking - had a dolphin right outside my window! Al called then and wasn't doing well, talked to him for awhile, drove back, parked on the back side and on the phone more until we finally finished. Not doing very well in general, with being here, housing, etc. Joe called in the evening then w/ more bad news ... It just doesn't seem to get any better.
