How to fill time in retirement

 Previously, I have done posts on baseball and football in my life. Another sport that I enjoy watching but never participated in scholastically, is basketball. I can remember going to high school games as a kid and seeing the occasional donkey basketball game with the teachers making asses of themselves. I did play intramural in High School and College. Also, while attending Middlebury Union High School, I convinced Coach Evans that I could keep stats for him and it would help me write my articles for the Addison Independent. He agreed and even let me go to away games on the team bus. I remember games all over the state with my good friends like Jerry Atkins, Kenny Freeman,  and Steve Corbett. When I got my job with ENSCO in Florida, we started to play games at lunch on Fridays. First, we were going to the Eau Gallie Civic Center, and after our office moved to Suntree, we would play at the outdoor court at Spyglass field. When ENSCO built the current office on Wickham Road, our boss A

 Last weekend I went to Cocoa Village for an Art & Crafts show and found a new bar that I had never been to before. Although they do not serve food, they have the very nutritious Guinness Stout. Therefore, I am adding it to my new restaurant bucket list. The place is called George & Dragon English Tavern. It is located on Brevard Avenue in the heart of Cocoa Village.

From my seat, I could see the festival activity along Brevard Avenue...there was a band setting up outside. As I mentioned, they had Guinness on draft which I ordered. I am easily mesmerized by the nitrogen bubbles. Left is my beer being poured correctly, and right is my

 I woke up this morning to find out that there was another launch today. It was beautiful outside so I decided to drive to one of the beaches at PSFB. It was 9:15 am when I arrived at the Beach and the launch was in ten minutes. I guess everyone else also forgot there was a launch as you can see by the crowd on the sand.. There were Birds , the seagulls were happy to be at the beach. They were congregated as a large group and would move together when I tried to get closer for a close-up photograph. I guess these use the same rules as when they fly together. There was this guy that had a kid stuck to his chest. I was going to mention it to him but decided that he probably knew. The kid was very interested in my camera as you can see him staring at me... More Birds , the pelicans were surfing the waves... Surfers were out and I took a picture of some towers. If you zoom in to the right of the big building (hangar), you can see the Port Canaveral Lighthouse. I did a post a while back abou
