sn- weekende serze the warmest day w carpediem that has always been the philosophy of my wife susan and i when it comes to tak- i ing advantage of the narrowest of door openings leading to an escape to warm southern climes in wintertime but the window of opportunity we man aged to climb out of to taste some glorious florida sunshine last week was perhaps our finest hour in terms of responding to that oftquoted latin call to action late last wednesday afternoon i sat at my desk putting the finishing touches on a few stories before calling it a day it was then that the phone rang derailing a train of thought that was already flagging the voice on the other end of the line belonged to my sister pat she and her family were nicely settled into their rented condo in st pete beach having flown in earlier that day remember those cheap efficiency units you guys stayed in when you were down here with us last march break the ones they were going to renovate and turn into luxury condos she started well they havent got around to it yet theyre still here and they have vacancies for march break why dont you come down are you crazy i shot back on such short notice being in a different financial sphere as my sister and her hubby our vacation needs tend to be a whole lot different than theirs thats spelled cheap whats the weather like down there i inquired remembering how tv clips of the annual baseball spring training ritual had shown players decked out in the same kind of high insulation garb normally reserved for those late night world series games in cleveland in late october

clothes long stashed away and tending to the myriad of details required to prepare this family of four for a 1 200mile road odyssey we finally hit the sack a little after midnight thursday after checking the last item off a lengthy predeparture list five hours later we awoke hastily packed the minivan gathered the kids out of their beds and hit the road we finally pulled into st pete beach at 430 pm saturday afternoon the weather man had delivered the goods the sun shone with increasing intensity through tuesday returning for a spell wednesday before giving us a prolonged thunder storm which proceeded to drop four inches of rain overnight the rain continued into thursday but compared to the reports of daily snowfalls back home lolling around in shorts watch ing the rain fall on the palm trees didnt seem so bad at all sometime this afternoon when we finally pull into our driveway at the end of our spurofthemoment florida getaway were going to reflect with great selfsatisfaction
