0707, Mon, 051412.     Isla Coronados.     I just came in from the back deck where the turtles are swimming close by, the sea gulls are calling, and the sun is rising over the horizon, another beautiful day in paradise.

I had to look up what a herd of turtles were in English.  I knew the word in Spanish (Tortuga for one, tortugal for a bunch) but not in English.  Wow, now that's a first.  A bale is what a group of turtles is called.  So careful out there.  If someone on board yells bale, don't jump off the boat right away.

I think Sue had a good day yesterday.  I treated her to a day off, doing the cooking, trying to wait on her.  She grabbed a good book and did lots of reading.  We got to go swimming in the afternoon with water that is almost perfect.  Another degree or two and it will be just right, but for now it really cools you off.  After that we headed in for the card game.  I busted out with a hot streak shutting her down in the first round.  But I'm no dummy, not on Mother's Day.  I came through with a close second by the end of the game.  What a sacrifice.

We are in to the fifth season of Sopranos now but I think we are missing an episode here and there.  Some things are resolved that we didn't get a chance to see get resolved.  Oh well, still fun.  Looks like maybe Tony and his wife may be back on the right track…..more later..
