No actual island here, but I love the song.
Chores around the house, breaking out some Christmas decorations we'll put up this weekend, and that about covers it.
Have a good Thursday!!

Good morning Penny, Debbie and Ken.
After 3 days of wearing jeans, I'll be going back to shorts today. It's supposed to be 68 degrees.

Jimmy never got the recognition he deserved as a song writer....
People who ask me what I’m doing tomorrow probably assume that I even know what day of the week it is.

Re: Island Thursday @ the MSC
Hi there! Islands have fascinated since I was 6 when my 2 older sisters paddled us to an "island" on a New Hampshire lake. It was a rock outcropping with a few shrubs and a small sand spit. Robinson Cruso and Treasure Island were beloved childhood stories. Our gazebo rises a step higher than the deck based on the tree house in Swiss Family Robinson.
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

Re: Island Thursday @ the MSC
One Particular Harbour and Tin Cup Chalice are probably my favourite Buffett "island" songs.
I realise I am committing an act of heresy but lately my current favourite island sone is We're All Here by Kenny Chesney.
The bar and place in the song describes so many places and low dives I have visited in my travels. In fact as he describes the bar I am immediately transported to a couple of places.
The front bar of the Hotel Santo in Luganville Vanuatu on a Friday night in the late 1980s and early 1990s. All of the people in the song existed in one form or another in that bar.
Then there is the aptly named Reefers Rum Bar in Port Vila, Vanuatu. It had a perfect tropical vibe, under a large natangora fale with an extensive rum list (not as extensive as the Barrel o Rum in Key West had). Fantastic food as well. Jimmy's music would pop up all the time.
Sadly the restaurant was destroyed in the earthquake that almost wiped Port Vila off the map.
