Hurricane Harbor

A writer and a tropical muse. A funky Lubavitcher who enjoys watching the weather, hurricanes, listening to music while enjoying life with a sense of humor and trying to make sense of it all!

Caribbean Situation..

Seems there is a system down south of Hispanola that is most definetly worthy of watching especially if you like color on your IR like most storm trackers do..

Comes, goes... sort of like my mood, being rewritten constantly.

Enjoy.

Will check back later when I am up to thinking and typing without staring off into the blue.

Happiness in Hurricane Harbor on REDSOX win :)

Musing around here...very happy still. Very happy.

Hoping to find new ways to celebrate.

Ate a Smores bar... for S'more Red Sox wins.

Had a part of a doughnut someone brought to work. Doughnuts but I only had a part.
Do you know what would be good? Stay with me on this... You take one of those coconut doughnuts.. the cake kind, dip it in chocolate frosting like a Mounds Doughnut. Would that be REALLY good or what?

I'm giving out bubble gum if you know the password today :)

Gave George a Kit Kat Bar. He wants to find the man who isn't Ellison who called him at home .. he told me he is going to take him "out back" ummmm told him to be kind if he shows up lol.

What a day...what a way.

Everyone from New England that is a Red Sox fan (that includes Vermont AND Rhode Island) is forgiven today. Reprieve...forgiven. Even that annoying one who used to IM me in the middle of the night with the heavy New England accent who wanted you know what..even him.

btw... in the next movie could like Charles Durning play George. He'd be soooo cute as George.

One day I will know as much about LaCrosse as I do about the Dolphins and the RedSox which could come in hand if I ever get to you know where with you know who. Well I know :P

Oh..okay ...you probably know too since you know EVERYTHING.

And...thanks for that nice man who wanted to go on the computer and gave me his really heavy Viagra pen with the special gripping dots on it and weights a TON. He left, don't think he did the computer. Hope he got paid well. Nice pen. Z cracked up when I asked her what the dots were for.. lol. It's really weighted.. is there like some navigational device inside? If I dip it in water will that fry it or well...

Got to go.. lunch is finished... sort of... great doughnuts. Back to work.

Bobbi boo

sigh, in love with the world today

Happy Red Sox, Happy Dolphins...Wheres Otto?

Enjoying the Red Sox ... Enjoying the fact that the Dolphins win (what does it say when you had more faith that the RedSox would make it into the world series than the Dolphins would win any games...???)

And... everyone is peering through Gale Centers looking for Otto.
Which to me sounds like the perfect Halloween storm.

Still watching waves moving westbound towards the Caribbean. Where theres waves there is always the chance of action. A good day without a deep trough or a dangling trough or the MJO coming round the bend and something can and probably will happen.

Weather is beautiful in Miami these days..until about 11am. Suddenly it gets hot and you like remember its not winter yet. Cool mornings. The feel in the air of the change of seasons.

This is our version of fall. Football. Autumn recipes sent to us online like the White Bean Pumpkin Soup from Weight Watchers... (dont think so) and the boys of October almost dancing into November.. (can they get any closer?) and people FINALLY taking down hurricane shutters. Still up, all over town. The people with the wood on the windows. Am beginning to believe boogey monsters ate the families living there and are feasting off of their bones after finishing off the hurricane supplies. I mean we are talking a lot of plywood still up. Even got my son to go up on the roof and put the turbines back on.

So.........happy autumn
happy hurricanes
happy i love the RedSox
happy dolphins
happy happy

God Bless America!
I love the Red, white and blue!!!

and a whole lot of people too!

peek a boobi bobbi lol giggling, haha i got THEM
im funnier, sometimes lol
smiling
Bobbi....not to mention cuter in a a Red Sox Tank Top :)

RED SOX STORM THEIR WAY INTO THE SERIES

So cool. So very very exciting and cool.. no.. I take that back. HOT HOT HOT

I'm so happy the Red Sox won. Really happy.

It always seems online like there are two types of hurricane baseball fans.
One likes the Yankees... the other Red Sox fans.

All those New England Hurricane fans who register in online and love the Red Sox. And, very classy like put up with much ribbing from the Yankee fans on how many wins the Yankees have had and how few the Red Sox have had and well what they dont seem to get is its not about quantity.. its about quality. Not a team thats been bought but a team that came together to play their heart out.

Contrast that with the Miami Dolphins who are being paid Lord only knows how much this season to lose game after game. Where is their heart? Their faith and hope? I was beginning to think we should start a writing campaign to see if David Ortiz wants to play for the Dolphins during the off season after the World Series. Looked at him today and thought "My Gosh.. he could play offensive lineman I bet"

And, Johnny Damon.. what a guy, speaks so beautiful, looks so cute and plays so well.

Bet David Ortiz being from the Carib would love to play for the Fins lol.

Pedro... the whole pitching team. What an effort.. Starters and closers..Lowe, Schilling ..oh all of them and that one with the wierd knuckle balls.

Loving the Red Sox is beyond something that is rational. They just get under your skin and you can't help it. Like love in general.

Somethings are hard to explain.. maybe unexplainable. Like loving hurricanes and tropical weather and lightning and thunder. Its not something you have to stop and think upon. You see a swirl out there beginning to swirl faster and come together and you become mesmerized, entranced and you can't take your eyes off of it. It's an amazing wonder of nature. And, its not about the big, bad hurricanes because they are beautiful.. its about the big Bermuda High that steered them all towards Florida. Its not the hurricanes that were in the wrong place..its us, living so close to the shore.. living here in Florida where we love it so ... and putting up with them and the constant threat of them like the whole entire state of California knowing an earthquake can rearrange their lives. Should all of California empty itself into Wyoming? I don't think so. And, well...Floridians ain't leaving either. This truly was and is the Summer of Change and the Change has started... four hurricanes Charley, Bonnie, Frances, Jeanne.. and even Ivan in nearby Alabama. What were those odds? What were the odds that the RedSox could come back from 3 games down? But they did... life isn't about curses.. odds maybe and wishes and dreams can come true if you really believe not in curses but in the ability of a team to come together and win.. On to the World Series!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Front Makes It Through

First front edging its way into the Miami area.. very cool. Well, not very cool but cooler and really nice to watch.

One of those things that you wait for and hope for and know that soon will happen. Unlike the many things in life that you would hope for and have no guarantee that will happen. This is pretty much a "for sure" you just never sure when it actually will happen. And, it does. Like those little coincidences that you just know will show up in life and always do. Does no one live in Iowa or Oregon or even Washington State? No... in my life all roads leave back to Georgia, Rhode Island or Oklahoma. Well..rarely Oklahoma but my mind does wander there frequently. Either way... its a nice day and a nice front blowing through town, edging its way south. The windows are open, men up on the bucket truck down the block in front of my bedroom window working on the electric pole or telephone pole, or whatever pole they have found today to work on down the block. Must be cool to work up on those bucket trucks, high up and catching the breeze. Some cute guy told me once that he likes it because he's closer to heaven up in the clouds. Who can argue with that one? So... as little green men look down from Mars and watch my life today... may they know all is fine and beautiful, all is hunky dory, the air is filled with the scents of Shabbos. Honey/Mustard Chicken, Gefilte Fish logs baking in the oven, 123 Breakfast cake and Eggplants waiting to be mashed into Babaganush. Potatoes boiling for potato salad and I even made Chicken Soup. And, birds are singing.. I'm smiling. I'd make paragraphs here but for some reason today blogger doesn't let. Maybe they are in leaque with the little green men on the telephone poles lol. Good Shabbos. Don't worry... Be Happy. And watch the front as it edges on down the state...Might still get another Cane or Tropical Storm but for today.. we are watching the front. http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?seg=LocalWeather&loc=kmia&prodgrp=RadarImagery&product=RadarLoop&prodnav=none&pid=none

Back on the Blog and Checking In

Just a note to say hello and comment that friends think Otto has a chance of forming soon.

Will see.

Watching upper level lows and rain in the Caribbean.
Waiting for a cold front.

Can't sleep, too upbeat tonight and thinking of too many things. Indecisive in my actions on what I should to on most of them and not much I can do on others. But, I can blog an entry and state that I am back.

I'm feeling better. Not perfect...but much better Thank God.
Just too much stress, too much work, not enough play and too much worrying on too many things. You would cry too if it happened to you!

Seriously... for anyone reading this. Thanks for hanging with me through hard times and lousy moods and opposing opinions on many things. For watching quietly and holding your tongue while I lead my life far away from you. Not so far that you can't see me but far enough that you can't look me in the eyes and tell me you are not always happy with me, my choices and my desires. As they say.. its just the way it goes. No excuses and no promises. I'm here.

The Jewish Holidays were nice though stressful in ways. The Shabbos after was really nice. All in all it went really well. Hurricanes even cooperated and our Holiday Huts weren't knocked over as they have been in other years on rare occaisions.

Weather's changing. Slowly.

Got a really nice package in the mail. Presents vs Presence I suppose. Both are nice but you know which I prefer. I'll wear my RedSox Tee Shirts proudly. They are a little big. Double Dee's don't really need a man's XL but well... the red one looks like a mini dress and the tank top is cut real low on the side there.. do they make Red Sox bras? "CHUCKLE" And, the mood ring is really nice... hope no one thinks its a blue wedding band with dancing dolphins. The soap as always smells and feels so good. The music unreal...unsetteling a drop..good word, however its spelled. Tears for Fears.. still reminds me of that Journey CD.

Went to Key West with my brother Ronnie for two days. Was wonderful. Spent the trip like a tourist walking around Duval Street, talking to artists and people working in stores. Showed my brother the view from La Concha. The sun didn't show up but we did at Mallory Square and it was nice. Not crowded. Sat and talked while the sky got grayer and watched white sailboats floating by silently in the distance against cloudy skies. For me a treat. I like weather.. remember? Had eggs and spicy fries at the Deli with whole wheat toast and jam. Coffee. Nice. Swam in the motel pool like a tourist. Talked with my brother about our grandmothers and our father who died this past year... it was his birthday. We took a birthday vacation. Ate dinner at Turtle Craals which was soo cool and had a Key Lime Margaritta. A real vacation. Left him there taking real estate appraising seminars and came back to Miami for work. Didn't stay too long, was a perfect trip. Like touching homebase and breathing a sigh of relief. My heart is home in Key West.

Homes there like homes here are still partially boarded up. Planks of wood securing the old fashioned hurricane shutters on the houses. Businesses not boarded up. Bit by bit we in Florida are slowly learning to trust again, take the shutters off and smile at the sunshine and believe in it again.

While away my sister in law had my kids take her shutters down.

Came back to Miami refreshed a bit. Rested. Inspired. And, wondering with a smile what it would be like to go a few places there with someone special. Well... smiling, more special than my brother or special in a special way.

Was fun to just hang out and be with a sybling. Jay is jealous I am sure though he is off in Greece enjoying life there.

It's 1:15 and I should go to bed.

I'll try and keep blogging for a while. While I have something to say.

No excuses. No promises.
Always a smile .. Bobbi

Hurricane Harbor on Hiatus

Taking a break for a week or so as I am busy with the Jewish Holidays of Sukkos (nice we didn't have a hurricane to blow our sukkos down..looked iffy there for a while) and trying to feel better after a bout of being under the weather.

Love to my brother Jay. Miss Rodney too. Really bugged me also... especially when I heard about him being in a coma last week. Maybe dealing with Daddy's death ain't so easy afterall.

Check out info on some return ..first qt after saturn maybe. Will check on being 42.

Tired, watching Mt. St. Helens.. all of us weather freaks are closet geology freaks.

On that note... Red Sox WON!! :) very cool

Will be back next week after the holidays and hopefully I find some sort of inspiration to write upon.

What does a muse do when she needs a muse herself? Can the master become a muse to the muse to make the muse smile again or does the master move on to a new muse? So many questions and never was a guidebook. Did Jeanne have a guidebook when Tony found her on that island? Probably not. She probably threw it some one who pissed her off passing by in the gulfstream.

Will see. Either way. I'm stuck down here...far from fall foillage which I never was much big on myself but can think of a few places I'd enjoy watching the stupid (kidding) Red Sox. What a stupid life for a muse. I should be somewhere interesting.. key west, st augustine, pt. or ft. saint mary where ever that is. How bout the Isle of Man? Hmmmnnnn

I need a vacation. I'm on hiatus.
Waiting to see if I'm being renewed lol haha, kidding. Got to go..

Bobbi
thats me.. moi.. chowing for nowing
