Off to Key West and Open Thread

By Jeralyn

It's 2 degrees outside but at 6:00 am the TL kid and I are off to Key West for the annual NORML Legal Conference.

Here's a pretty blowup of the sunset picture. The water is very inviting as are the restaurants. And the hotel with its Caribbean Spa is just perfect for our group. [More...]

Here's Jimmy Buffett's recent song on the current state of the economy, Bernie Madoff, and the Somalian pirates: "We got a lot to drink about. Where's your bucket for the big bailout? Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan? We got a lot to drink about."

More lyric: "Tequila, of course I'll have some....CNN keeps bumming me out.... G-d Bless America." (There's also something about "Obama and Joe.")

Jimmy, of course, has been sober for years, but that doesn't stop the Parrothead audiences.

So, wherever you might be today and this weekend, I hope you have as much fun as we will in Margaritaville. It's supposed to rain some, but I'll take 70 degree rain over 2 degree cold and snow any time.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
