| Somewhere in Costa Rica - This Young Lady |
I received a number of mysterious late
night FaceTime requests that never connected due to poor WiFi on the other end.
I’m assumed at that time (later confirmed) these were from my wayward wife as
she terrorizes the peaceful country of Costa Rica with some of her most
dangerous associates – the PanaGals! She texted me a photo this morning along
with a cryptic location, Playa Uvitas on the Costa Sur. I referred to the map
to follow along with her adventures since I last saw her in Panama on Sunday.
She and the gals, and the long suffering compadre, have cut a wide swath
through Cosa Rica which will probably never be the same.

| Red Line Marks Her Travels So Far |
In news further north, today marks the
official first day of Red Sox spring training in Florida. Now there is some
news to warm the most frozen of New England hearts. It always at this point in the
winter when I start taking the weeklong extended forecasts and trying to calculate
how much punch the winter has left. After last year this winter is a total
babe. I missed the only two big snow storms while down in Panama and we’re
still getting mid-50s temperature. I know it’s a dangerous thing to say or even
think, but winter is running out of time; never a bad thing.

| Swing it John - We Are So Ready |
Speaking of bad things, do not waste
any money on the movie Zoolander 2. I made that mistake last night because I thought
the original was hilarious as a no holds barred send up of the overly
pretentious fashion industry. That fertile ground has apparently been divested
of nutrients because this film took silliness to the ghastly level – never a
good thing. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson reprise their roles as idiotic super
models (I know – unneeded adjective) and are launched on a spy plot which thankfully
involved Penelope Cruz.
The filmmakers sacrificed comedy by
going for the record on how many celebrity cameos they could wedge in, something
I usually like, but who wants to see a pregnant Jack Bauer? I have a personal
rule against walking out of a movie but this one sorely tested my resolve. Alas,
it had such a promising start; featuring a bullet riddled Justin Bieber. The entire
audience cheered for that but it was a swift ride downhill following that high
point.
I’d never leave you without at least
one photo of Californian perfection:
