FRIDAY RANDOM TEN - DESTIN RESTIN’ EDITION


Destin Sunset


Wow, a week passes swiftly when you’re having fun.

It’s Friday yet again, which means that it’s time to start packing for our trip home after a thoroughly enjoyable week in Destin, Florida.

The crowds were a tad more manageable this year, owing to the timing of our trip (earlier) and the sharp rise in the price of gasoline. But, as it happens, we ate out less frequently than we normally do, relying instead on a couple of handy grills and a goodly supply of hardwood charcoal. Mostly, we hung out at the beach or pool, getting gently toasted...and buying all sorts of Useless Crap at the local outlet mall. Traditions must be upheld, you know.

But, late as it is, it is still Friday, which means it’s time to check out the Unpredictable Outflow of the iPod d’Elisson. What’s playing today? Lessee:
  1. Projector - Philip Glass, Kundun

    Knock, knock.

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
