My husband’s high school reunion is in a week. I’ll be spending the weekend with him, schmoozing the Gulf High Class of 1987 at a resort on Clearwater Beach. Jim suggested riding the bike from our house to the beach for the weekend, but as fun as that sounds, I vetoed it pretty quickly. One, if it rains, we’re screwed. Two, I will have too much stuff packed for the weekend to tote on my back on the motorcycle.

It will be my first time out to Clearwater Beach in a LONG time. I don’t think we’ve been since they opened the new bridge! I heard they did away with the roundabout out there, is that true?
