Down in Florida again, this time for the first week of my new job. Figured this made a nice picture. The ocean is as calm as I've seen it in a long time. Coincidentally, it's now the same temperature here in Pompano Beach as it is back home today in Michigan. But the view here is nicer.
Great shave this morning. With my coconut oil pre-shave routine, the seaweed soap, and the orange blossom cologne, I'm feeling very tropical and relaxed. Shaved the head, but letting the beard grow out. Might go get another bottle of Florida Water tonight to bring home, now that I know where to find it here.
Later, it will be time to break out the spiced rum, pineapple juice and creme de coconut -- a little "booze in the blender" to help pass the time here in Margaritaville. (Yes, I know, it's not tequila. So the Margaritaville image isn't entirely complete).
Hope you are enjoying your Saturday as well!
Eric
