Hey there, anybody out there? Did I lose you?
Safe and sound in Florida, balmy weather and the smell of the sea in the air – and I’m completely smitten. I think, that the more Sharaun and I come here for “vacation,” the more the once familiar sights, smells, and sounds of “home” become associated with some a sense of disconnected leisure. I’m happy about this, because I have this thought that, if I can get the notion of “Florida” associated with relaxation and lack of responsibilities and deadlines, it’ll be a comforting place I can run to anytime – an escape. I’m actually loving being here, even if it’s been just one day. I took a nap, read some of my book, and laughed with family and friends. What’s more, I’m gonna make a concentrated effort to do little more than that for the remainder of the two weeks we have here.
I will write, I promise. I feel that itch again, but more now I feel the need to not write – to not do much of anything.
See you around.

I’m here but not for long at the rate you are going.
Keep it warm for me, I’ll be there in less than 48 hrs now.
