I just got home from a day spent trying to get into a boat show, which was pleasant yet unsuccessful. We could go back with the proper amount of paper currency tomorrow instead of a checkcard and try again, but we probably won't because we came to the realization that we can pick any day of the week to tour boat yards and see yachts for free. I would have loved to join the masses trekking in and out of them single file today, mostly because it would have given Terry much to think about and become absorbed with, since the boat thing was his ideal alternative to a motorhome to begin with.

We had Filet Mignon and baked sweet potatoes and mixed green salads for dinner. I had forgotten how much I really liked that. It was nothing like the nasty feeling I got when I ate fish from a fast food restaurant a while back. That had jaded the idea of ever going back to being a carnivore. The steak was good though. We were amazed at our ability to get entirely stuffed from a seven ounce steak. I actually would prefer to skip at least one if not both side dishes in the future. I do love salad though. I just didn't really need all of what I had to fill me up. Next time I want a glass of red wine with it. I have had a headache for three days so I didn't think it would be a good idea.
