It's amazing how names that not so long ago meant nothing now jump out at you. Last week we were driving round near where we used live and I did a double take as we passed Ennis Street. Then just today we went for drive up the coast as we have done many times before and at a certain favourite destination my head swivelled round. Yes - there was Del Mar Drive. There is no escaping this man!

Hey MagicMountain, actually I'm a Londoner born and bred.... but having spent many years working with Aussies and Kiwi's (who became great friends) their nickname for me kinda stuck.

Hehe, no there isn't!
When I was in The States a few weeks ago my friend and I passed a sign with a town on it called "Ennis" That was so bizarre! We wanted to go there but sadly didn't have the time.

OK, I'll contribute to the cause.

Talking about no escaping of Ennis Del Mar, have you guys watched Lords of Dogtown?  After discovering Heath Ledger, I began to search for his previous movies.  When I was watching Lords of Dogtown, a road sign suddenly caught my attention when the group of skateboarders was going to another city for competition, the road sign read 'Del Mar Beach', it was such a funny feeling to see this name on another movie.

I've got a really good one for y'all.  I live in an awesome active adult community in central Florida called The Villages.  Living here is kind of like a Disney World for seniors.  It's a huge town, spanning into 3 counties and is comprised of numerous neighborhoods (villages) each with its own name.  Not only do we have a Del Mar Drive, we also have a Village Del Mar.  I thought that was cool.
Technically, I am not even close to old enough to live here, but got in early due to my disabled Veteran status.  I love living here!  It's nick named 'Florida's Friendliest Hometown.'  We have TWO Town Squares, a bunch of pools, golf courses, restaurants, shopping, several country clubs, and a performing arts center.  Homes and villas range from the mid- $100,000's up to $1.3 million.
You can find out how special this place is on their website, if'n you want:

Sorry if I got a little OT there.  I've never lived anywhere as good as here, and I've done a LOT of moving (12 years USN, active duty.)
Have a great Sunday!
