We had quite the group at the OB Pier Pancake Breakfast this morning. Ms. Kitty got there early to secure a table and I arrived shortly after her. To get to the cafe one must wander through the gauntlet of fisher-folk and buckets of bait, not to pleasing at an early hour. The pancake breakfast is a fund-raiser held by the OB Geriatric Surfers to raise money for the Christmas parade. As our stomachs rumbled we were entertained by solo guitar dude who was singing his heart out but we just needed him to be silent. Mondo, Blob, and Canuck pulled up just as guitar dude finished up "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Almost right behind them the 3 Kings of IB arrived and the party was on!
We were greeted with shouts of cheer by the pancake chefs and we quickly loaded our plates and grabbed our champagne as we returned to the table. Luckily our next band was a duo of surf music professinals, much more appropriate to the atmosphere. We happily gulped down our pancakes and when the rollar skating champagne lady arrived, we had refills. It was a good morning on the pier, chatting with friends, listening to surf music, and enjoying the event. A couple of hours later it was time to exercise so Mondo and I headed to the sand to work off the calories. I can count on being there next year for a reunion of our table.
