It's the third time we've done this, and it gets weirder every year. The gathering of so many water bloggers in an ancient watering hole created a metafactual vortex that left me adrift in uncertainty and doubt. But it was a fun uncertainty and doubt! Still, what the heck?
-Will has told Christina that he’s already at the bar. But he’s nowhere to be seen.
-TQ is seen at the bar, but any time someone walks up to him and says “Hi TQ!” he is mystified.
-Carolina can not get her ships under way.
-I am confronted by a shark.
-Adam has a secret I have sworn a blood oath not to share.
-Christina (eyeing the menu) wants to know if the Nile Perch is fresh.
-An unspecified crime against TQ’s burger requires compensatory avocado.
I understand none of it. Will, Bonnie, and Adam seem to know something, and surely John, Vicky, Carolina, Christina and Rick have a better idea than I.
There we are, photographed by a woman I've never seen before. Who was she?
I just love the clarity and focus that alcohol brings to a blog post.

Christina: it's another mystery.
Joe: Where were you? You call yourself a waterblogger? Same for Lord T...

I think that Carolina worked up the compensation to involve the entire burger, advocado & all!
Joe - no rum, but Ear Inn Ale did the job pretty well!

AHA. I just this afternoon figured out what happened with the avocado cheeseburger.
Obviously they cooked one at the same time as everyond else's meals, but then somebody put it too close to the metafactual vortex and it fell in.
Careless!

Bonnie I'm glad you worked it out. Me, I'm just looking for more opportunities to say "compensatory avocado".
