Madeline Island

Tuesday, July 10, 2018

Have spent time with Dale on Madeline Island this summer. Bought an aloha shirt at a discount store in Ashland, Wisconsin and donned it for cocktail hour today. Spent a little time with Beachbum Berry and his Potions of the Caribbean.

Rum and Coke

Tried to bring a little bit of home up north.

Mermaid Lounge

The Mermaid Lounge opened up AGAIN yesterday afternoon. It's my first week back at work so I was looking to indulge in a little escapist fun, just like many mid-century Americans did years ago. The word indulge may be a little strong as my drinks were rather weak rum and Cokes, but the tiki mugs in the lounge, music of Arthur Lyman playing, and the reading of Sven Kirsten's The Book of Tiki, all helped add to the recreational  atmosphere.

The Mermaid Lounge opened again tonight for another rum and Coke.
