Hump Day Happy

You got fins to the left, fins to the right, and you’re the only bait in town…

I have NO idea why I can’t get this Jimmy Buffett song out of my head, so I just decided to run with it. For one, I think sharks are cool. Also deadly, which is why I never swim in anything that doesn’t have a blue cement bottom. Yes, that means no oceans as well as gulfs, lakes, rivers, and ponds. Is there a rule that says Becky Must Be Rational? Didn’t think so.

I was never a Parrothead, though Lynne was a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan, and I dated a guy who was, as well. I’ve never blamed Jimmy for the guy. And thanks to the guy, I did go to a Jimmy Buffett concert one time in Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide), and IT WAS GREAT! Kick-back, sing-along, smile-at-everybody-around-you, smoke-’em-if-you-got-’em, feel-good-about-it-all great.

A person could do worse than emulating Jimmy Buffett, and not just because he pulls in a cool hundred million a year with all his business ventures and music and writing careers. He does a lot of good in the world with grants and fundraising. Check out the SFC section of Jimmy Buffett on his official website.

Then dig your toes into the sand, put on your sun screen, and comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, so these sharks can find you something to be happy about.

    1. I would gladly be friends with a twenty-foot great white–from a great distance! =)

      And from the book:

      “shabby gentility”

      Sounds like the perfect beach house decor to me.

  1. dash will have 426 23 I will have 153 number 24 … as well as a cheeseburger in paradise, I like mine with lettuce and tomata Heinz 57 and french fried potata.

    1. For Dash:

      “bees filling the air with the hum of industry”

      For you:

      “father-and-son outings”

      Hmmm. A clear sign that you need to get rid of that pencil thin mustache.

      1. Bee attacks, and mockage of the lack of a father figure… some hump day happy! 🙂 I’m trading that in for Saints and sinners friends!

  2. page 82 number 14 please

    SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Okay, that’s a spa treatment that’s new to me! I guess I’d do it, although I’m ticklish.

      From the book:

      “laughing out loud”

      1. Ah, to watch the little fishes nibbling at your toes would soon turn it into titter, giggle, laugh, guffaw, snort and belly shake. Do have a great weekend! And we do want pictures.

    1. You’re not late. Different hemispheres defy the constraints of time. Meanwhile, the shark finds you:

      “the first frost coming without a whisper, the glistening leaf, the gleaming vine”

      Speaking of different hemispheres!

  3. My requested page and number was going to turn out to be “seeing friends for the first time in a year” so I’ll just skip even asking. 🙂
