So Reed got a promotion in his financial services job. He does seem to be taking it seriously.

Now Rick had a bucket list entry for Key West so we took off. A ways down there from Jax but we made it there and back with no problems. Night time is the best time in Key West.

Been awhile since my last post as I've been trying to figure out what's happening with my neck among other things. So I've been trying to keep a good posture with my head as well as see the physical therapist at Jacksonville Orthopedic. Things are still up in the air as "some days are diamond some days are stone".

Brother Rick showed up yesterday and I'm doing my best to give him a tour of the area.

Reed is working hard at his new financial job. It's keeping him out of trouble if not providing him with a major income yet.

Found a couple things about Reed on the Crescendo Amelia Facebook page.

So what's happened since my last post.

Bandages came off my incisions and everything went fine except it didn't seem to help. Well maybe it helped a little. And so it seems that most of the problem is in my neck. In fact I've even figured out a little thing to do with my neck and it shoots pain right down into my little finger on my right hand. So I went to a massage therapist I'd been to before and she thought I might be the victim of a long standing posture problem called Forward Head Posture from spending too much time on the computer.

And she just may be right as I got some heavy pain when I did a couple of the exercises but that seems to be disappearing after just a few days. Tingling may take a while longer as it's been 2 years in the making.

Took in the Kids/Gun March on Saturday at Hemming Park. And then picked up Reed at the airport coming back from Guam at which I didn't get a picture.

This is kinda cool. Thrilllist recently did an article on the oldest bars in every state.

Florida: The Palace Saloon on Amelia Island, 1903. Florida isn’t designed for longevity, but The Palace Saloon holds strong. It’s, well, palatial. It was built in 1903 with the help of Adolphus Busch (yes, that Busch), and made its name as the last American tavern to officially close during Prohibition. It proudly carries the title of “Florida’s oldest saloon in the same place, under the same name.” An honorable mention is the Green Parrot Bar in Key West, which opened as a grocery in 1890. The drinking in the back was originally only for locals, but it officially became a bar in the mid-1900s. Today it has a super sketchy live webcam pointed at the bar.

The Palace Saloon is where Crescendo Amelia did their latest promo video featuring Marah Lovequist and, of course, Reed, which gives me an excellent excuse to put up that video again.
