"I Love Cajun Martinis and Playing Afternoon Golf"
On this sleepy, wet, cool, Monday morning in mid April I was listing to some 80's music. Not just any 80's music, I was listen to Jimmy Buffett play Miami in 1985. "We are the People Our Parents Warned Us About" came on, and one of my favorite lines in the JB catalog was sang, "I love cajun martinis and playing afternoon golf". Now, I have never had a cajun martini, but it have read about it and it sounds great. Sipping on something spicy in the shade while the afternoon sun beats down on the land (or water) around you is always a good time. Spicy food is a part of almost all Caribbean cultures, because the spiciness makes you sweat which cools you off. Sounds a little backwards, but it works.
The second part of this JB line is one that really strikes a chord with me. Afternoon golf! There is something just perfect about playing a mid-week game of afternoon golf. The course isn't as crowded, so things are more peaceful and the pace is slowed to an "island time". There are usually a few cold beverages to be consumed while sitting in the shade of your golfing chariot, then followed by a few more post-round adult beverages. You really don't care how you score, you are actually enjoying the day, the game, the drinks, and the people. It is almost a zen like state, pure bliss. If you have never played a mid-week round of afternoon golf. Do yourself a favor and put one on your summer bucket list and enjoy the perfection that afternoon golf is.

Can I have an AMEN? I really love it when the 19th hole is at a TIki hut on an island in the little latitudes. Deep thoughts dude. Cheers.
