Several local authors hung-out Friday night at Kokomo’s Cafe, in Flagler Beach, Florida.

What happens in Kokomo’s, generally, stays in Kokomo’s; that is unless it is overheard by Armand Rosamilia. Kokomo’s Cafe is the setting for the first book of Rosamilia’s “Flagler Beach Fiction Series”. The series will feature short stories and fictionalized versions of actual people who visit several Flagler Beach businesses.

The local writers shared a few beers and three times as many laughs, as they congratulated Armand on Friday’s release of the first two stories of “Kokomo’ Cafe, Part 1”.

The cafe stayed open all night, Friday, and into Saturday morning, to support the Relay For Life event which took place in the park across the street.

If you can catch Jason when he isn’t busy at the Java Joint, ask him what’s new. Today, he showed us his new miniature roommate. Her name is Wednesday.

Nature, time, and patience …

Mother’s Day.

Dad is too weak to get out of bed. He is weak because he won’t eat.
“Why won’t you eat, Dad?”
“I don’t like that mess they bring me. “
“What would you eat?”
“Kentucky Fried Chicken.”
“Okay. I can make that happen!”

I believe that by the time a fellow reaches 90 years old, he should eat whatever he wants to eat. (at Daytona Beach Health & Rehab)

Reflecting on sunset.

“When I retire I will live full-time on a cruise ship that travels the world. When anyone asks where I live, I’ll tell them my address is ‘Earth’.” - Ron

Flood waters of Spring
The “ark” will remain in port
Water pump missing

This panoramic inspired the above 5-7-5 Haiku (Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third line).

Translation: Flood warnings throughout the area made it inevitable that water would come over the canal’s seawalls. I took the raw water pump off of Shibumi’s engine. Should we need her as an ark, she will be strictly a sailboat until the rebuilt pump is re-installed.
