At the beginning of March,
through the end of April, for me,
marks the beginning, then end of each year.
For each day, my meditation is not evasion;
it is a serene encounter with reality.
As March moves forth, I'll explain further.

Meanwhile, learn to practice life.
Learn to slow down, get lost intentionally,
observe how you judge both yourself
and those around you.
Because if you quiet the mind,
the soul will speak loudly.

"When you see Key West
for the first time
You understand now why
you came this way
'Cause the truth you might
be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise,
the promise of a comin' day ..."
― Crosby, Stills, and Nash
'Southern Cross'

"I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister, can't you see I got to get back
To my baby once-a more
Anyway, yeah ..."



Spectacularly performed by
Joe Cocker & Leon Russell
and the Shelter People
(from Delaney & Bonnie and Friends)
for Joe's Mad Dogs & Englishmen
tour and album.
And of course from The Box Tops.

"I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou ...

Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see ...
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be."

Breezy enchantment from Linda Ronstadt (and Don Henley).
[ Linda ... I had such a deep crush on her. Sigh. ]

That when it starts to rain
Everything's the same
I can show you
I can show you

When the sun shines
They slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade
When the sun shines

Rain, I don't mind,
Shine, the weather's fine ...".. if you're in Key West.

Fear in the air, and tension's ev'rywhere.
Politicians say more taxes will solve ev'rything,
and the band played on ...

Eve of destruction, tax deduction,
City inspectors, bill collectors,
Evolution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soul,
Shootin' rockets to the moon, kids growin' up too soon,
and the band played on ...

Cities aflame in the summertime, and oh the beat goes on,
Ball Of Confusion ... that's what the world is today.
And the only safe place to live is on an island.

From the absolutely brilliant Temptations

It's November 1st ...
so let's get this party started!

Makin' my connection as I enter the roomEverybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume
with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin'
and their dancin' for me
I'm comin' up ...
so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up, I'm comin' ...

Unmistakeably Pink.

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need

Well, I've got a brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them on to see
I've been looking around awhile
You've got something for me
Oh I've got a brand new pair of roller skates ...
You've got a brand new Key (West)

Wasted days and wasted nights,
I have left the rest of the world behind.
For you don't belong to me,
yet my heart belongs to you.

I'm relaxed, wearin' flip-flops and sunglasses
with iced rum in my glass.
I'm done seeing the world; it's time to kiss a girl,
and cease crossing the wild meridian.

This year will be one we'd wish to forget.
And while it's over in 11 weeks, we anticipate
next year's 10-day & night party: Fantasy Fest!
I mean ... it's our Halloween. Boo!!

Fantasy Fest is Key West's annual party featuring local arts, crafts,
plus an array of tantalizing foods.
With a main entertainment venue
on the Truman Annex
there's raucous partying
and soooo much more!!

Until then I'll just ...
"wish I had a pencil-thin mustache
the 'Boston Blackie' kind.
A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
and an autographed picture of Andy Devine ..."

As the sun sinks into the western horizon,
and the sky turns a million different colors,
the azure gently fades into the night ...
as the island truly comes alive.

With a breathtaking sunset cruise
I'll take in Key West’s night.
From sunset to dusk to starlight it’s gorgeous.
And after a day fresh seafood dishes
and a slice of key lime pie,
I'll sit back, sipping on my rum runner.
