We're back!
What a trip. A whirlwind really, almost.
Two nights in Miami, a night in Key Largo, then three nights in Key West.
Along the way we visited the University of Miami (almost as low down and dirty as the SEC), drove Route-1 out into the keys, pulled off and got some fantastic pics, saw several Gulf of America signs, went snorkeling, went to the Theatre of the Sea, visited a gator farm, walked the battlements at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, kayaked, saw sunset at Marlow Square in Key West, met some very friendly cats, ate some excellent food, and much more.
Oh, we have details, and thoughts and what not. And we'll be sharing them over the next week or so.
Sadly we were unable to bring the sun and breeze back with us. Today it's 45 and cloudy here in New Jersey.
For the moment we're home and back in our regular spot, and getting back to work. Seriously, we walked in the door 30 minutes ago and away we go. Mrs. Stroock is already back at work. Why not us?
We did some good thinkin' down there in Florida, as is our wont when walking around or sitting in the sun.
Most of that thinkin' was 'bout nuclear war stories.
We did not unravel World War 1990: Thatcher's War and are sorely tempted to move on to The Managua Campaign and finish that with a few references to the ongoing 'Irish situation'. We are aware of the danger of Ludendorfing, in which the writer moves from project to project without finishing. But Maggie ain't got no snap, no crackle, no ju-ju.
World War 1990: Ireland has been available for a month and a day now. That month and a day has been a great success. On this day we made Ireland available on Kindle Select. Ireland has 16 ratings for a 4.2 star average. Those early three star ratings rattled us, and Ireland is a different book from others in the World War 1990 series. But with what's what, that's what. Ireland is a good novel. How 'bout that. We took a risk and it paid off.
