from daytona. great trip. really great trip. in the few weeks leading up to the trip, i tried to come up with every possible excuse not to go. very glad that i never came up with anything. we spent 2 days on the beach. i went to the pier bar by myself one day and just looked out over the ocean. i went to the used bookstore twice and loaded up on some books. i took pops out to winghouse the day before we left, and we slammed down some shrimp, wings, chips and salsa, and beer. lexa and i had the best time riding the golf cart around the neighborhood every day-- we made comments about everyone and how they gave us dirty looks because she was driving around at top speed. bluehairs.
looking back now, i really needed to go. i needed to get out of baton rouge for a while. i needed to get out of this office. i needed to stay away. i needed the salt air. i needed sunshine. i needed 20 hours in the car with the beatles and morrison. i needed to hang out with my kid.
and now my head is clear. i'm almost looking forward to starting the grind again. i have 10 books to read. i have painting to finish. i have some rough ideas on paper for some new writing.
all good things.
