We all popped over to Halo early last night to support Commissioner Mattie Bower in her run for mayor. The general feeling is that there must be a reason her opponent, the incredibly slick Commissioner Cruz, has lined up every special interest group south of Palm Beach and has ten times as much money in his war chest. Most of us feel that reason is that he will continue the process of giving away every last piece of land to developers. Mattie continues her rounds of the gay bars, PTA's, homes for the elderly, and every other grass roots venue; this is a small town of 90,000 permanent residents and the last election was decided by a hundred votes. Mattie is working hard to get every one of them. Here she is getting the vote of Mrs. Stuyvesant-Fish who sudden re-appearance on the social scene delighted everyone; anytime that woman can escape "the home" is big news. And even bigger news was that Mamie is actually re-entering the workforce on Monday after a ten month crusade of drinking and napping. Several bars will undoubtedly have to close now.

If it's October, it's time for bob and Terry to winter on South Beach. They have a hard time deciding where to go. Last weekend they flew to LA for a Rufus Wainwright concert and the weekend before to Monaco. But, with winter approaching Miami Beach will be the weekend of choice for some time. Terry won not only the first bingo prize last night...

...but also the second, prompting calls of "fix" once again from the likes of Deon and Mrs. S-F. How many times do I have to tell these people that bingo is not easy to "fix" and if I did "fix" it the prizes would be a lot bloody better than a bottle of champagne or a Mr. Potato Head in the shape of a penis. Really!
