drive west on sunset to the sea

It’s been a while between posts. Since Thursday, a number of events have occurred. Some of those events involved me, although the vast, vast majority involved other people, or no people at all. Among the events including my person were attempts on Friday night to post a going-away message. The long weekend started early for Blogger – the server was not in a mood to interface. So, anonymously and under cover of internet darkness, we set off for a long weekend at the beach. Pleasures there included games, alteration of the precious gift of consciousness, boogie boarding, New Scientist, the Southern Cross set against the Milky Way, nosefulls of salt water, shortsfulls of sand, and a small glimpse of someone else’s world. I return tanned and refreshed and hopeful. All these things trend towards entropy, but tonight I say “fuck that.”
