My sister Susan and I were planning to attend the Monterey Yacht and Country Club's annual Christmas party, held each year at the yacht club, just a short walk from our Stuart, Florida condo. Unfortunately, we had to leave Stuart early so I could have eye surgery in Denver, and so we missed it for the 48th year in a row. And I have heard that it is quite lively. If you have ever seen the Christmas party scene in The Apartment, a 1960 comedy-drama starring Jack Lemon and Shirley MacLaine, it is said that the Monterey party is just like that. Perhaps next year. And by the way, the photograph above shows my sister Susan walking home after we sat on the pier along the St. Lucie River on a pleasant sunny afternoon in Florida. As you can see, there are no boats, since the developer was never allowed to dredge, but that did not discourage the condo residents. "No boats? No problem. We have a yacht club. We can have parties there!"
