We had all these plans.
We were going kayaking.
We were going horseback riding.
We were going to BBQ.
But then we turned on Netflix.
And found a cancelled show with 26 episodes.
So it wasn't good enough to still be on.
But good enough to last for awhile.
And it's set in Florida.
Miami.
The Everglades.
Basically a Chicago Homicide Detective relocates to Miami.
And hilarity and murders ensue.
It's pretty good.
But the BEST part is Hollywood pretending it knows what it is talking about,
when the subject is Florida.
And when Kyle is in the room, that makes for some FUN TV watching.
Case in point:
Detective meets pretty girl who surfs.
She invites him to go surfing.
He is from Chicago, so has obviously never surfed before.
But he's willing to give it a go.
Since she's a pretty girl, and all...
She suggests they meet tomorrow morning at 5:00 am.
At Sebastian Inlet.
Which all sounds good.
Except Sebastian Inlet is just south of us.
And we are about 3.5 hours north of Miami.
And Sebastian Inlet has a nickname.
Monster Hole.
NOBODY surfs Monster Hole and lives unless they are REALLY REALLY experienced.
Good for a laugh.
Then there was the episode where they had a hurricane.
That's ALWAYS entertaining.
I don't really even remember the storyline.
We were too busy laughing our heads off at the silliness of Hollywood's version
of a Category Two which instantly switched to a Cat 4.
And then was gone.
Like a tornado.
And the aftermath!!!
There had to be 10 tons of debris.
Mostly palm trees.
Stacked on top of an aluminum patio roof.
Palm trees don't blow down in a hurricane.
That's why God put them here.
They bend.
They swish.
They make noise.
But at the end of the storm, they are the last man standing.
Meanwhile, an aluminum patio roof is not likely to make it
much past the first hour or so.
It was fun!
Of course, there was an episode featuring race horses.
In Ocala.
Where the folks in the show visited,
three time in one day.
Ocala is about 5+ hours from Miami.
One way.
Guys - if you are looking for a horse place close to Miami,
try Hialeah.
They have a big, famous race track.
Or Wellington.
Lots of polo there.
But Ocala?????
Anyhow - we had a fun, relaxing day, laughing at a silly show.
(There was some intentional humor as well... even if you aren't from Florida...)
*********************************
Meanwhile, my Dad made a surprise visit to the hospital
over the weekend.
We were all pleased to hear that after some testing
(and no lunch) they sent him home.
Now we just need to wait to hear what they think it was.
Our thoughts and prayers are with him and Mom today.
Love you!!!
