Sex after Sixty?




I knew that would get your attention. Sorry to disappoint you, but this is not going to be a steamy article on the sexual activities of retired or semi retired adults. I just want to let you know that the Pelican Players are putting on a spoof about retirement living on April 16th and 17th. It is called “Sex after Sixty” and will be held in the Borini Theatre at The Kings Point north clubhouse. It should be a hoot to see, so make sure you get a ticket.


Many of the snowbirds are heading back up north. I’m having a hard time figuring out why. There are still a lot of snow storms that hit in April and the weather up there still isn’t warm enough to shed a jacket. Florida is absolutely awesome this time of year. The daytime temperatures are not too warm and the evenings stay warm enough that you don’t even have to wear a sweater.


I see that the Kings Pont Clubhouse Theatre is hosting a Professional Wrestling Event on April 12th. For those of you who like to see some heart stopping, ear pounding action, it should be a good time. Hopefully you won’t be too close to the ring to get fake blood splattered on you. I’m just kidding!! Admission is FREE, but they are accepting donations to the SCC Rescue Squad.


It looks like they also have some pretty good bus tours lined up. I saw some pro baseball games, some dinner theatres, a few mall trips, a trip to Busch Gardens and even a trip to the Tampa Bay Downs for some “Thoroughbred Racing” on the schedule. Make sure you call or visit the box office to get signed up.


The KP Borini Theatre is hosting a “Pirates of the Caribbean” line dance on April 23rd. It’s a BYOB event, so a bottle of Captain Morgan’s Rum would suit the occasion.


The south clubhouse is still hosting their “Rockin’ Rendezvous every Thursday night. If you haven’t attended yet, and enjoy a good time you need to check it out.


I would love to hear your comments on this and previous Blogs. Tell me what you want to learn about Sun City Center, Florida. Or better yet, please be my guest and write up an article that I can post. I promise I will give you full credit.

Going Green!!




When we think of March we think of St. Patrick’s Day A.K.A. St Paddy’s Day. I have images of people wearing green for good luck and drinking “green beer” stuck in my head.

Since we are in a “Green” month it got me thinking about all the hype of “Going Green”. I’ve got to give kudos to the residents of Sun City Center and Kings Point who drive their golf carts around. That has got to be the greenest form of transportation that I know of!! I saw a report the other day that said 46% of the residents use their carts for getting around the community for things other than golfing.

March is also shaping up to be a busy month for the residents of Kings Point. Pat Boone, the Jack Daniels Band, Charo, and in my humble opinion I think, the best of all will be ……”The Amazing Kreskin”. I remember watching him on TV many years ago, and I was always awed by his performances.

They also have a couple St. Patrick’s Day parties. There can never be too many of them. On the 12th there will be a “Green and White” Line Dance at the KP Borini Theatre. On the 17th there will be a St. Paddy’s Day Dinner Dance. Both are BYOB events.

If you looking for a lively time the South Clubhouse is still the place to be on Thursday nights. On the 13th they are hosting a Lip Sync Contest and prizes will be given out for the best impressionist and best costume. The Rockin’ Rendezvous continue on the 20th and 27th.

I discovered this tea in a little restaurant in Dawson Creek, BC, Canada and absolutely fell in love with it. I drink it hot and cold. In fact I make a big jug of iced tea with it every day. Sometimes I even add a different flavour like the African Nector or Bombai Chai when I steep the tea just to change things up. It is awesome!!

I Need to Apologize.........

First I apologize for neglecting my Blog and not keeping you up to date on the happenings around Kings Point and Sun City Center. Secondly, I need to apologize for referring to Sun City Center as Sun City. I honestly did not realize that they were two different cities in Florida. It won’t happen again. In fact I had to do a little clean up on my website too.

It has also been brought to my attention that Golf Carts can no longer gain access to the Wal-Mart. It turns out that they would have to cross a marked highway to get to the new Wal-Mart and that would be illegal.

Thank you to the person who wrote me a very nice note and straightened me up on the mistakes I had made on my Blog.

Most of the “Snowbirds” arrived on January 2 or a few days later, so it is hopping around Kings Point these days. The clubhouses are buzzing, the golf courses full, and you can hear laughter coming from all the other various courts.

If you haven't checked out Pickleball yet, make sure to mark Februay 9, 2008 on your calendar. The Kings Point Pickleball League is hosting a "Winter in Paradise Wingding". For more information check out their website at http://www.gotpickleball.com.

I picked up the “Kings Point Pointer” when I was at the clubhouse on Monday. There are some really great events coming up that you won’t want to miss out on. Tickets are available for Kings Point residents ONLY beginning the second Monday of the month at the Box Office. However, Kings Point residents may purchase up to a maximum 4 Guest tickets.

The Kings Point North Clubhouse Borini Theatre will host entertainment such as Lynda Carter (aka Wonder Woman), The Temptations , “Red, Hot and Blue” a group of talented performers who sing and dance their way through a century’s worth of music, Xavier Cugat Orchestra, and the “Dukes of Dixieland”.

The Kings Point South Club has a “Rockin’ Rendezvous” with rowdy music and dance every Thursday from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. I heard it did get pretty rowdy last week. On Fridays they have a Cook Out on the Pool Deck from 11:00am to 2:00pm. There is also going to be a Super Bowl Party on Feb 3. (Go Pats!! My neighbor told me to say that…..I’m staying neutral)

They have some great Special Bus Trips planned too. Trips coming up are quite a few dinner theatre shows, shopping trips, cruises, shopping trips, restaurant lunches and dinners, and some local festivals.
