PS to yesterday's "Edgy" post:

Jessica was kind enough to point out the probable cause of my edginess.  Normally at this time of year I would have my tickets to the Caribbean and be counting down the hours until take off.  This year I am broke and going nowhere fast.  She said she feels the same way (although I suspect she could go without me... Mimi's going and they could share expenses...).
The only year we skipped the Caribbean was the year we went to Italy.  I was edgy then, too, because we didn't leave until February.  That particular November I did have distractions (like trying to learn French for our brief trip to Paris)  but was still missing the basic knowledge that I would spend a month on the beach, drinking Bushwackers and swimming in the warm water every day.  (Italy was great but we missed the beach so much that we saved every penny for the rest of the year so we could make it to the islands the following November).
So, unless I reap some sort of windfall, I will be edgy and nervous and missing the beach for the forseeable future.  Somehow I am less edgy now that I know.

(Damn, that looks good!!)
