NOV. 8 THRU NOV.  14th, 2019, ETC, IN KEY WEST WITH LYNDA! 
FRIDAY   
HAPPY NOV. 8 BIRTHDAY TO…FRANCIE McKENZIE…. NICK DOLL … LANCE MORRIS …. KIMMEE NAPIER …
 
DEAR READERS… I keep hearing from my ‘up north’ friends who are telling me about their awful weather…snow storms, frigid temperatures and icy roads… Winters there can be brutal and they seem to go on an on and on!  We are so blessed to be here in Key West… the only frost free city in the USA!!!  Of course we will have some cooler temps….and then it is such a hoot to see everyone here running around with scarves, boots, and even gloves!….and it’s 60!!!  Happy Autumn everyone!!!

NEW RESTAURANT…. There’s a great new place to dine and we tried it out last night and thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!  The name of it is called Lola’s… and it is at 728 Simonton St. where Off the Hook used to be.  Greeted warmly by the darling Dylan … we were seated at a lovely table…white tablecloths and napkins…  Only a few tables were filled at 6:30 pm….. but by 7:15 it was filled…. The appetizer and entree selections were given verbally and one sounded better than the other.  We ordered the Sea  Scallops and Artichokes for apps and the Sea Bass and Lamb chops for the entrees…. all Delicious!!!  The place looked much bigger than in prior lifetimes… the bar is gone so there is a much more clean and open look about it.  At this point it is BYOB and only cash and check are accepted.  I would suggest reservations as many walked in and were turned away as the restaurant filled up.  It is amazing how quickly the Coconut Telegraph lets people know about new spots in town.  I want to thank Wendy Fisher and John Nolte for letting us know about it!  Bravo to the super new Chef!!!!  He knows what he is doing in the kitchen…. and by the way, his Tiramasu was also yummy!!!!

LURA GORMAN….. If you have been in Key West as long as we have (22 years…) you may remember Lura who was a part owner of LaTeDa along with Mark Barack.  She was a special gal, an author, and a businesswoman, and she always greeted everyone graciously when they arrived at The Da.  Sadly, she passed away on Monday, Nov. 5 from complications following a major stroke.  She was living in Wellington, FL with her daughter, Hilary Dolbeare.  Please keep Lura and her family in your thoughts and prayers.  Another daughter, Lisa, said that there will be a gathering of Lura’s friends at Lateda sometime after the holidays.

BUCKY MONGOMERY UPDATE…….
By now, many of you have heard about the circumstances surrounding beloved Key Wester,  Duke Bucky Montgomery.  On the very early morning hours of Oct. 13, Bucky was found unconscious in front of the pizza house on Fleming St.  He is in the Kendall Regional Trauma Center in Miami….he has multiple brain bleeds, fractured skull and jaw…and the  bones surrounding his ear  were shattered and pushed into his ear canal.  Because of the severity of this, he is still not able to communicate rationally about what happened…. only his head and brain have been compromised.  I spoke with Destiny Montgomery, Bucky’s caring and loving daughter, who travels back and forth to Miami to be with him…  Bucky is still not coherent….he stares vacantly into space….though, he is much calmer, and that is a good thing.  At first he was very angry, yelling and carrying on, not understanding what had happened to him.  The family is hoping that he will be able to be transferred to  a Behavior Rehab, and in time,  and with therapy and healing,  Bucky’s memory will return and he will comprehend everything that has befallen him.   It is frustrating not to know how this happened and how Bucky can’t express himself…. but that is the challenge he faces with such a major brain injury.   Right now it is day to day… I urge you to please keep Bucky and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  There was a well turned out fundraiser for him at The Gardens Hotel … and others are on the way.  Money to defray expanding costs needs to be raised,  If you can help, please call or text Destiny at 502-767-4742.  Destiny is particularly dear to my heart.  She performed for Aqua Idol for the Waterfront Playhouse twice and raised much money for our theater.  She has since become Fantasy Fest Queen, and continues to work tirelessly for all Causes in Key West…note that her father, Bucky, also helps our community in many ways.  I thank you for your support of the Montgomerys ….

THE COCONUT VICTROLA…. Just by chance we happened to stroll by Hanks’s on Caroline St. (formerly Grunts)… and heard some great sounds.  We also recognized some of the folks making those sounds……so we took a seat and sat and listened to    this dynamite group called The Coconut Victrola.  Those in the group we knew were the fab Kenny Fradley on the trumpet…. Megan Clay at the keyboard (and vocals) and the sensational Belle Jampol, who wowed everyone there with her singing, dancing, and movement on stage!  The other three in this group are Jerrod Isaman, T-Bone ‘Tyler’ McHone and Adam Constantine….all greatly talented!  Check the remainder of this blog for their performance schedules.

I have been dealing with lots of pain in my right shoulder… have a doctor’s appointment on 11/18… but I am concerned.   Remember, there are many reasons that we pray…not just because people are ill…. I do believe that when we all send prayers and good vibes to those in need, those prayers mystically meet and surround those being prayed for.  Sometimes we pray for miracles and the impossible….sometimes we pray to just cope with the results of what happens to those we are praying for.  Sometimes we pray for strength to go on and to accept…sometimes we pray for thanksgiving.  We are in this thing called ‘Life’ together….and we all have power within us to help our fellow man.  Bless you for remembering our loved ones….Prayer changes things!  Let me know if you know of anyone who should be added to this list.

**THE SCORPIO PERSONALITY…OCTOBER 23 THROUGH NOVEMBER 22 **
      I am starting this by saying that some of my best friends are Scorpios….as well as my very best friend, my dear husband Bob!  They are an amazing group….terrific company and possess a fantastic sense of humor.  That being said, Scorpios view life in a very emotional and intense way….and they find it very difficult to express profound feelings that they have.  Scorpios keep their deep feelings buried under the surface.  They have an innate need for privacy and secrecy making them reluctant to let people know how they feel.  This sign is often viewed as being obsessive and it is true that a Scorpio takes things quite seriously.  They are happiest when they are able to concentrate their energies in particular directions, because they need to feel emotionally involved in everything they do.  Otherwise life loses its meaning and purpose.  Once a Scorpio has made up their mind about something, it is very hard to persuade them to change it.  They often have fixed ideas about all sorts of things and can take a very hard line over such topics as capital punishment  and imprisonment.   Despite a Scorpio’s natural loyalty, if you push them too far or double cross them in some way, they will never forget it and they will never forgive you.  They will probably give you the cold shoulder  to exact their revenge.  It is wise not to get on the wrong side of a Scorpio!  A Scorpio’s magnetic charm and powerful personality attract many fans.  People love the fact that ‘still waters run deep’….and when a Scorpio is silent, everyone wonders what they are thinking and go to great lengths to find out.  They know there is lots more going on under the surface than the Scorpio will reveal.
Love is an area that can cause problems for Scorpios as they take it so seriously.  There is nothing superficial about members of this sign, and as a result they need relationships that are deep and satisfying.  One night stand and brief flirtations quickly lose their charm…the Scorpio is looking for something more significant than that, and when they find it they will channel all their energies into it.  They do demand a great deal from their partner, with love and loyalty at the top of the list.  One big Scorpio problem is jealousy and another is possessiveness.  If a Scorpio has been hurt in the past, it can be very hard for him to resolve these issues.  Sex and Scorpio go together like bread and butter.  They place  such great importance on sex because it is such a good way for them to express their feelings.  The best signs for a Scorpio are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo another Scorpio and Leo. 
What a Scorpio does for a living must have meaning and purpose, needing to feel emotionally involved in their career.  Otherwise they will feel unhappy and dissatisfied.  They must believe their work is meaningful…nothing demeaning or boring for them!  They will pour all their energies into their work wanting to do something  that provides endless interest and stimulation.
Scorpios also love to know what’s going on…so they are the eyes and ears enjoying sharing the latest gossip and intrigue.  It is important for them to get on well with their colleagues and that they work in a comfortable atmosphere.  They need positions of power, even though it may be minor…..the thought that everyone else has control but them is devastating!  Scorpios are attracted to law, science, detective work, medicine, research and the like.  They also get great satisfaction from working in the wine trade…especially if they can attend lots of wine tastings.  Scorpios need more money than most…as financial security is very important to them….they also enjoy the power that comes with money.  Living comfortably is of utmost important to the
Scorpio…..In their hearts they know they should have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth…. And if they were not to the manor born, they will do everything in their power to achieve that status symbol.  Investing and accumulating are important to the Scorpio…they are canny investors and love playing the stock market.
WE LOVE OUR MARVELOUS SCORPIO FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS!!!!!
