The plan is to go to the beach this afternoon, but I'm not sure when. We don't have too much special planned besides that, but it's the last full day here, so I'm sure we'll make it count. After the beach, we're going to cook out (ribs and steaks), and then leave tomorrow morning a bit early. My father-in-law has not been feeling good lately as ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what the plan is today, but we have done what, in my opinion, is the perfect vacation activity, slept in and veged out so far. I think we're planning on going to the beach later. Low tide is near 3:30 this afternoon, so that should give us plenty of time to get there ( Read more... )

Well, we haven't left yet but it's in the works. We're planning on leaving within the hour which, provided we get there in 7 and a half hours (projected, we should be there by 8.

It's not necessarily legal I am sure, but I"m using a vpn service with points of ( Read more... )

Man it's hot out there today. So hot in fact that they issued a heat advisory this afternoon ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning before my alarm, and decided to start work at 6 so I could get off at 2:30 this afternoon. The consequence of this was that I was really tired when I got done and took a short nap. I'm ok now, but I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I'll probably go to bed at a reasonable hour ( Read more... )

I went out this morning and it was damp outside so I wondered if it rained. When it thundered later and poured, I knew it was not a fluke. Been playing cribbage on the iPhone and really appreciate that I may be able to play online with others. No one knows cribbage around here, so that's really cool ( Read more... )

Well, it did rain after all last night, and it rained on and off today. Walking to and from my training today was quite enjoyable as it was cool and cloudy and nice, and unlike earlier in the week, though humid, the air felt very fresh ( Read more... )
