dogfishing

Man...never underestimate the necessity of suntan lotion! I'm still burnt from Saturday's visit to Herring Point in Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, Delaware. I foolishly neglected to slather myself with lotion because the sun was in and out all day. It was enough to burn this beach bum. Give me an apple and I'd look like a bbq pig. I took a bath in Aloe last night. Anyone need to heat up their coffee cup, just hold it up to my chest!!!!!! Here it is Tuesday and I am finally able to bend my arms!

Okay, well, perhaps I am exaggerating a bit. I just got back from a holiday weekend in slower lower Delaware where we visited friends who have a second home in Milford. We have visited them a few times. It is a nice area, about 20 miles north of Lewes. It was a weekend of drinking beer and strong Margaritas mixed by Janet. Saturday night I was the designated driver and we ate at a Mexican restaurant in Lewes. Sunday, Janet and I traveled down to Rehoboth Beach to visit the Dogfish Head Brew pub. After wading through the sashaying gay population we drank several wonderful "off-centered" brews. Each beer was very good and strong. She started with an Immort Ale and I drank a Palo Santo Marron....11 a.b.v. and 12 a.b.v. Both were very good, but they were the type of beer you just want one of, not several. Then we each had a 75 Minute IPA hand pump that was fabulous. We then gingerly took a sipping taste of the 120 Minute IPA that boasted an a.b.v. of 18%!!! It was good, but if you drink one of those expect to wake up on some trawler after being shanghaiied ... or worst (since you're in Rehoboth) wake up in a very uncompromising situation.....

Happily tipsy, but with our dignities still intact, we traveled back up route 1 to Milford and burgers and more Margaritas....

Today hopefully there will be fishing. Steve had asked me if I was going to be around Tuesday and I'll be there despite my burnt flesh.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.
