Lastnight Jenia and I went to Pleasure Island, we had a great time, naturally. We contemplated going to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, but went to The Rock 'N Roll Beachclub instead. A friend was playing there in a band he just joined, called The Leonard Brothers. There we had a bartender who looked just like Alan Alda only with a gray mustache, his name was Clinta. Maybe next time we'll go to Margaritaville, my only problem is that I firmly believe that beverages should never ever be salty. It's just not refreshing or pleasant. Jenia probably loves salty drinks, one of his favorite treats is Kvas. ( aka: bread soda.) Somehow when you reverse the name you get a delicious cake, but the other way around, you get Russian syrup sewage with bits of marinated yeast parts. It's exactly like spit with remains of Tab in it. His parents used to travel all the way to Miami to to buy it, a 2L for about $7. I guess Russians think it's silly of us to pay $7 for Locatelli Cheese, after all it is just dried sheep's milk. Hmmm, points to ponder, countries not to visit.
