I figured out one thing

Posted on July 16, 2019 by A Dreamer

Just one thing, but it is part of what is bothering me a bit about this trip. I’m not writing. Usually, the change of scenery and ocean air results in hours of writing while I’m down here. Sure, it’s stuff … Continue reading →

We’re at the halfway point of vacation

Posted on July 16, 2019 by A Dreamer

And while I’m fairly relaxed and enjoying doing quite a lot of nothing, I still can’t really disconnect – keep thinking about the work waiting for me when I get back, and there is going to be a lot of … Continue reading →

Posted on July 15, 2019 by A Dreamer

Twitter is being shit and won’t let me post this lovely crab gif from earlier today. Tip Jar 7/16 2:11PM, edited to correct issue with caption.

Unplugging – how do folks do it?

Posted on July 15, 2019 by A Dreamer

It would certainly seem that I can’t. While I find that while I am quite relaxed here on vacation, I can’t really “unplug” so to speak. I can’t help but think part of it is this 100MPH 24/7 news cycle … Continue reading →

So I did get myself down to the beach yesterday

Posted on July 15, 2019 by A Dreamer

And it was lovely as always. Didn’t hurt that the water was not freezing and the DUKN7 buoy says we’re looking at 78 degree water again today. Made some new friends at the coffee shop: The turtles on this end … Continue reading →

Life’s a Beach

Posted on July 14, 2019 by A Dreamer

Sure, tanks are kinda cool, but…

Posted on July 3, 2019 by A Dreamer

Not really appropriate for a 4th of July event here in the US. Yes, other places do that, but they’re other places. And moving 2.5 million from the Park Service for this bullshit. Not like they’re constantly overflowing with funds. … Continue reading →

I know there are bigger things I should be thinking about…

Posted on January 6, 2019 by A Dreamer

But I am genuinely enjoying watching the GOP lose the collective shit over this freshman Congress. You can tell they’re lashing out in fear. And they should be afraid. They’ve gotten away with enabling 45 an his hateful policies for … Continue reading →

Welp

Posted on January 3, 2019 by A Dreamer

If you’d told me at any time in my life I’d be getting tears eyed watching Congress… Well, it did happen once before, when the ACA was passed. And again today. The House of Representatives looks more like the people … Continue reading →
