Not been up to much on the web these days, but I have been: * swimming * walking on the beach * fishing * eating * sleeping * taking photos * reading Having a great time except for the day I witnessed a drown victim being pulled from the surf right in back of the house. Anyway, I’m trying to get back into my online life before heading off to Boston and Providence for a week next Friday.
