Happy New Year from Castella di Maggi. May 2023 Rock!

Here’s a great photo of us before we went to enjoy the annual Feast of the Seven Fishes at L’oca Doro. Couldn’t wait to show of my new blazer I got as a gift! I received SEVEN, yes, seven compliments and only half were from the wait staff. I think we look pretty spiffy and appropriate for the dress code of biz casual which in Austin usually means, wear your best Birkenstocks, tie dyes and jeans with the fewest holes. Nah! Austin has changed a bit and joined Dallas in being uptight yet I still see people not following the guidelines.

This New Year’s we’re taking it easier because we didn’t have any luck getting anyone to join us and the timing with expenses were another. We will be celebrating tomorrow by some other means as Monday is the holiday observed. Next year, I do hope we can do something more spectacular. Europe would be amazing but Winter isn’t their strongest suit given how soon the sun sets and the temperatures suck. Not to mention the cost. We might swing a cruise. Even I can manage to get by without Internet access for a few days, how I love to read a good book by the pool. I also know, the staterooms are nothing close to what I grew up seeing on The Love Boat. As long as it doesn’t turn into the Poseidon Adventure or worse, the rather maudlin Titanic, I will have a great time. What happened on Bob’s Burgers, I can deal with since I’m no longer into all you can eat. Could it be one of the cruises with a bunch of bands I loved growing up with, we’ll see. I’m going to trust Hoser’s advice as he’s told me, the ones departing Florida are better than Galveston…the latter don’t drop by Puerto Rico? I’ll close with some overdue excitement for you all to end a rather meh but improving year…my zipline experience. See you in 2023!
