Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Cloudy and cool most of the day.  We headed to Key West around noon.  We couldn’t park in the lot near the Eco Center because a bunch of rides are being set up for some festival this weekend.  But we were able to park in a lot near there.  Walked through Truman Annex and at the corner of Eaton and Whitehead we parted ways—me going to the Tropic to see “Black Swan” and Mike off to the Key West Speedway to do some racing.  I thought Black Swan was going to be about ballet—well it was, but it was also a psycho slasher movie.  I had to keep looking away.  And a guy sitting behind me somewhere kept exclaiming “…oh my god”.  Was glad when it was over.  Left the movie and walked outside into brilliant sunshine.  Started walking down Whitehead to meet up with Mike.  A lot of people around because there were two cruise ships in.  And a lot of them were very scantily dressed-- looking longingly at my Polartec jacket.  Got down to the Speedway and Mike was really happy because he came in first on four races and got a free race for each win.  He was a very busy guy.  After his last race we walked back to where we parked and headed back.  Instead of going home we drove over to the KOA for our first happy hour.  Floyd and Terry had gotten in earlier, so it was good to see them.  Had one drink and then we all headed to Boondocks for wings.  Well, they had wings—I had chili.  Chili in a sour dough bread boat.  Really good!   We were all talking about the lunar eclipse that was going to happen in the early hours of Tuesday morning.  I took two Benedryl and went to bed when we got back  Mike stayed up though and went out at 1:30 and stayed for the whole event.  Sandy and John were out there also.  Think it only made it to the upper 60s today.
