It's almost a law

We took Gene and Jerry on a sunset sail on the big catamaran Mar- quesas, encoun- tered a lot of nice straight people (one couple got engaged on the boat) and, as usual, all watched like little kids as the big ball dropped.

Something very elemental about that.

Then we hiked up Duval, avoiding the Sloppy Joe's corner and went to Mangoes for some of the fish that could have been swimming under that boat yesterday.

Funny that we avoided Sloppy's: A couple from Williamsburg was arrested there a few hours later for having sex in the middle of a crowd in the middle of Duval.

It's that time of year.
