They're Baaaack!

March is spring break time and LHC is a prime party spot for the college crowd as well as those who enjoy gawking at nearly nude young bodies. That includes everybody I know, or at least those who are honest with themselves. We can pretend we don't really care and that we're above all that but it's BS.  Nature did the programming so why fight it? Gazing at shapely young females wearing pasties and a g-string - now, that’s a stimulus package a guy can understand! Not to be one-sided, there’s plenty of beef cake for the ladies to appreciate also.

The sides of the channel near London Bridge are packed solid with boats and people during spring break. Various activities are offered, including helicopter rides, slingshot bungee rides, paintball and a new one this year: a zip-line ride. We typically go down to the channel and observe the mating rituals for a couple hours one afternoon, sip a brew and thank the powers that be that ‘cruisin Broadway’ is naught but a dim memory. In this case ‘Broadway’ is the channel, and the ’56 Chevy is a 750+ HP cigarette boat.

We’re off to Phoenix next Monday to attend a spring training baseball game (Rangers vs Dodgers) with old college buds Tom and Al, and for Trish to take a glider ride, her first. After Phoenix, it’s on to Organ Pipe Cactus Nat’l Monument on the AZ/Mexico border. Will camp there 3 nights, get up close and personal with the cacti, hike and mellow out. Was looking forward to having campfires but they’re not allowed. They have these small grills mounted on standards so you can BBQ with charcoal if you wish. We have a compact gas BBQ we use when we can’t cook over a real wood campfire.

  1. Enjoyed the ball game at Camelback Park yesterday, Mike and Trish. Wish we could have spent some more time together. Hope you're well in Organ Pipe. Al S
