For Early Risers Who Wish It Could Be Morning All Day

Find Your Beach

By

A delivery truck parked at the beach-bar next door.

So I went to find a new walking beach at Cape Canaveral this morning. I must have missed the signs, because after a half mile, wearing only shorts and sandals, I found myself way overdressed (and not because it was too hot).

Jerry Seinfeld was right. This should only be legal for a small select portion of the population. I’m sure to have nightmares from this day.

Son Of A Beach

By

2,800 miles through snow, ice, wind, and traffic to get here. I wish I enjoyed the desert SW as much as the Florida coast since it is so much closer. But alas, I am a hopeless son of a beach (or so I am told).

Slip Slidin’ Away

By

Nothing says winter in the north country like a shiny new set of sheet-metal-screw boot cleats. They make you feel all secure in an otherwise slippery world.

A Mountain Too Close

By

After looking at Mount Aeneas across the lake for 17 years, we finally hiked it. It might have been the name of the trailhead (Camp Misery) that made us hold off so long.

 

Life’s A Beach

By

Note To Self: Don’t skip the simple things in life that pay big dividends.

I have learned that in life
few endeavors are more heartening for the sole
than sunrise beach walking.
It is not difficult
nor is it expensive.
Just get your ass out of bed early,
grab a pair of earphones with good music,
find a hardpack sandy beach that goes on forever,
and put one foot in front of the other.
You will thank yourself afterwards.
