To Quote Princess Leia

"IT'S SUMMER BITCHES, HERE THEY COME!!!"
Or something similar in nature.

The tourists arrived today as if they were shot out of a canon. The Highway and local roads were jammed with happy folks tired of winter and ready to enjoy the sun, sand, good friends, good food, and (thankfully) margaritas.

They were welcomed by a clear sky and low humidity; a perfect day for the beach; perfect day for exploring Rehoboth; a perfect day to relax and get into the spirit of this wonderful season.

The restaurant was very busy for lunch with returning visitors from last year, as well as new ones visiting because their friends recommended the restaurant.  This happens all the time, I am happy to say, these guests are never disappointed.

Not a sour apple in the bushel.  And although we were training 2 servers and 2 bussers, everything went smoothly.  It was all good.

I enjoyed a Long Island Iced Tea as my AS cocktail and was joined by one of the chefs. We talked about the mundane technical stuff between kitchen and dining room until I said, "Whoa! Let's just enjoy this day, because they will be fewer as we head into the season."  She agreed.  So, we talked about food.  Well, surprise, surprise!

As I walked home I was stopped by 3 (count'em 3)  people who were: 1) looking to purchase a parking permit, 2) a B & B, or 3) a family restaurant for dinner.  Well, all 3 were easy for me.

Back home the AC isn't working well.  Can't seem to get the temperature lower than 78' F, which is OK with the lower humidity, but the rest of the weekend is looking grim.  Informed the landlord this morning, but doubt any action will be taken before next Tuesday - after the holiday weekend.

Bother!

And so it goes.
