Even though I probably drove Margo bonkers as she was driving on STJ, she was an awesome driver! Thank you for driving, Margo! What do you mean? You don't always have white knuckles from holding onto the "granny handle"? I picture Kellee wearing a Natalie Portman-esque Garden State-style ...

Getting used to STJ driving is really the key. You won't be going fast than 20mph. Coral Bay has gotten better lit over the years eve...

Well, if past performance is a good predictor of future performance, Kellyana's video camera will be over the side before the trip is over - think waterproof, floating and secured with a line. Actually, that's pretty good advice for taking care of Kellyana too! I can just hear her sweet twang now &q...

Well, I did pay for University working food service. That, and I'm finishing writing a business plan for a brewpub for a friend of mine... time spent hanging out with people who use "food cost" as a verb.

Re: Groceries on St. John

Weekend shopping can be a challenge. Tuesdays and Wednesdays we see better produce given the shipping schedules. Josephine's down King Head Road, past Love City Market, has great organic produce. We buy salad greens, okra, bok choy, and whatever else they have.

Re: Who did you use for your covid test to fly to STT

I've seen people posting that CVS and Walgreens works. I live on St. John and go back and forth. I get my test done at a lab that provides a printed report while I wait.
