…to leave you in the lurch.

I’m in Key Largo, at a very exclusive retirement community. How exclusive? I’ve seen golf carts down here that cost more than my car. They trick-out their carts here to look like Mercedes, Jaguars, and such.

Yes, that’s odd. Even odder, I’m here to celebrate a wedding between a 77-year-old woman and an 81-year-old man. Last night we went to a reception of more than 200 people where I swear the median age had to be somewhere around 72.

Let me put it this way: I’m 31. And I sat at the kids’ table. Guess when most guests are in their 80s, the difference between 30 and 10 is negligible. The cool thing is, you know how at weddings the bride and groom will sometimes provide a take-home gift? Guess what this couple’s gift to guests was?

A mix CD. And a pretty good one.

Strange as it was, I actually had a great time. They hired a terrific 20-piece band that played 40’s swing tunes. Their version of Benny Goodman’s “Sing, Sing, Sing” tore the roof off the place.

All of this a long way of saying I won’t be able to give you the Cory Maye update until I get back to Virginia tomorrow evening. For a ritzy retirement community, this place has suprisingly little Internet access. I have a little time on this computer, but probably not enough to go into the necessary detail.

So more later. Til’ then….let’s hope the Colts hold Larry Johnson to under 400 yards rushing.
