Floridian Downtime
We've been coming to Florida several times a year for most of the last ten years and never before now have we really experienced what one could consider weather, unless it was the hot and steamy kind, and by that I don't mean the good type of hot and steamy like 'Body Heat' hot and steamy, but the miserable make-you-want-to-become-an-ax-murderer kind of hot and steamy.
Not this week though. The first couple of days of the trip the weather was pretty good, but the last three days have been marked with rain, thunder, lightning, and funnel clouds. It's full on rain of biblical proportions, pretty much non-stop, where one can glimpse small mammals and flightless birds coupling up and looking for large watercraft to sojourn upon. At most in the past, we've seen maybe a brief afternoon thundershower that remarkably manages to increase the humidity above 100%, which should be against the laws of physics and nature, but then again this is central Florida, after all.
We've found that the television offerings at Disney resorts are a bit limited. It seems primarily to consist of ABC, seventy thousand different versions of ESPN, a couple of Disney Channels which apparently only play The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, 24 hours a day, every day, which is especially unfortunate because the principals in the show may be the worst child actors in the history of child actors, and several Lifetime channels. According to Mary, I may now be addicted to Lifetime movies which is ridiculous and I'll enumerate the reasons why after I finish watching the movie about the homicidal hairdresser who pretended to be in love with the heiress so he could get her money and sleep with all of the household staff, including the pets. I have now learned that according to Lifetime all men are serial murderers that have married women only in order to have an affair with their sisters, kill their horsies, and/or steal their vast fortunes left to them by their mothers who also had to kill their husbands after they slept with their sisters and came after them with an ax. I'm ashamed to have a Y chromosome. And an ax.
