It's
April 3, 2016 as I write this. It was snowing when I got up this
morning. Give me a break. I looked outside and thought, “Oh no!
This is a nightmare, I'm back in Syracuse, New York again and it's
1968 or 1969.”
Okay!
It's spring. It is, at least, according to the calendar. I was
supposed to be in the southwest by now, where it might be a bit
chilly in the evenings, but warmer and sunny during the days. I spent
another winter – unplanned – in the east in what may be
considered the Mid-Atlantic region, but more properly, Appalachia.
The
wind blew hard, probably gusting to 50 or more miles per hour. The
rain came down in torrents for a good part of the night. This
morning, the wind was still blowing, the Arctic blast came during the
night and it was snowing when I woke up. Now, it's later in the day,
the snow has stopped, the wind has died down to a light breeze, the
sun is out and the sky is blue.
I
need a dose of beach, salt water and bikini babes. There's nothing
like feeling the warm sand running through my toes as I walk on the
beach. I also enjoy the rays of the sun on my body. The sound of a
gentle surf and some sea birds is like a lullaby. And pretty young
women in skimpy bikinis quicken the heart rate of a guy my age, whose
mind keeps trying to trick me into believing I'm going on 33.
So,
I pulled this photo from two years ago on the Gulf coast in Florida.
I remember where I was and who I was with. Unfortunately, while Tommy
is a terrific guy and I enjoy his company, he just wasn't a cute babe
in a bikini. But, I captured a shot of this one.
Padre
Island National Seashore is calling to me. I'll be heading to Texas
and I won't be far from Padre Island. It's been about 13 years since
I was last there. I just may have to pull myself up a piece of beach
to park on for a few days and enjoy the sun, surf, sand and hopefully
a bevy of bikini babes. I have my sunscreen packed. Live free and be
happy. EH
