Easter Sunday

I am sitting in the room late Sunday afternoon watching golf and NCAA Basketball. Michigan is winning but Ohio State and Michigan State have been eliminated. Steve is working. As the contract expires the company has given their last, best, and final offer. It is a waiting game now and Steve feels he may still have meetings tonight. It has been another interesting negotiation. I certainly miss the Long Boat Key Club for the proximity to the beach. I walked yesterday and today in the neighborhood of the hotel we are staying in because the traffic going out to the beach was incredible. It takes between 30-60 minutes to get off Longboat with the easter crowds. I have explored the city of Sarasota more than other trips and while it is fun it is not something I would take over the beach access. But it may not matter as three years from now everything could be different again.

Yoohoo I just got a text from Steve that they have a contract! It is 4:30PM sunday night and they are going back to the union hotel to finalize and have a drink with the union. Steve thinks he will be back and we will be going to dinner tonight together. I have been getting re-organized to load up the Jeep and head to Destin tomorrow for a little deep sea fishing with our friends that live there. It will be a great day of relaxation for Steve. He chose fishing over golf. He thinks that we will be playing golf soon in Perrysburg and deep sea fishing is not something we can do in Perrysburg. Then it will be on the road and back home. I am not looking forward to the mail pile from 4 weeks. I guess a rainy day in Perrysburg will be okay for getting some groceries back in the house and catching up with everything else that has been sliding while we were gone.

Happy Easter!
