" My Beach is Safe"

This is the beach where I walk and meditate. Taken October 23 at 5:50 pm Eastern. Its where I escape the craziness of the world. A place of solitude and peace. I was worried sick that it was going to be changed forever by this storm but somehow it escaped with only minimal damage..The cottages were barely touched. There were a few shingles missing and very slight damage. You cannot imagine how happy this makes me. I am so pleased.

"Brain Filter"

Would you believe I can’t think of anything to say? Its that kind of morning. I realize there is a lot to say and there is a lot is going on but I am tired and nothing is really bothering me. I suppose I should count my blessings but its like I want to say something but I am not sure of what to say. During the day a million things go through my mind and when I sit down to relate all this priceless information I have forgotten everything. Mom used to say when I forgot something “It couldn’t have been that important”. I guess it was important then but not now. I must have a brain filter. Know what I mean? I want to say stuff about the way it is today but what’s the point nothing will change. I don’t know where all this is coming from and I hope this condition isn’t serious. Its not like me to ignore what is going on around me. They say everything happens for a reason. I must be waiting for that reason…..Meanwhile, I think I will take a walk on the beach…

"Book Store"

Had a great time yesterday, met with friends for breakfast and then later that afternoon I went and had lunch on the beach. I Have been doing that everyday and It seems its getting more crowded but that’s alright. It is Summer after all. Is it me or am I thinking that its more residents and not so many tourists. During the week I mostly go to places where the beaches are private.. So that must be the difference…On the weekends I go to a beach where there are always lots of people…Even in my town it seems there are less outsiders. I must be getting used to all the people or it cost too much to get here. I have been riding my bike everyday. My legs are much stronger. I can tell, I can do hills a lot easier and faster than when I started this year…Today, after the Casey Anthony trial, I’m really hooked on that but no comment. I’m off to do some food shopping then later for a long bike ride. I went to the book store the other day. I was actually pleased that it was still there. It still has paper books with pages to turn…It even smells like a book store...It was nice and I love the memories of an old fashion book store where you can still sit in an easy chair and browse a book or two…Quote from chapter 16 in Robert Redford’s new biography. Let me set this up. …While he was making the movie “All the President’s Men” He was in Washington and visited President Jerry Fords Oval Office. I guess for research and to see what it was like to have the worlds highest office. He thought, after having a conversation with Mr. Ford “You don’t have to be a Rhodes scholar to be President”. Now see what you miss by not visiting your local book store….On the news this morning. I can’t resist this… The Utube Jackass got killed last night. After making millions of dollars by tempting fate and hundreds of suicide attempts. I call them suicide attempts. What else would it be? It finally caught up with him when he ran his Porsche into a tree at a high rate of speed. He was drunker than a skunk.

"Live Journal"

 I went to the beach yesterday in Old Saybrook to eat my lunch and there was one person there. It was cloudy and the threat of rain was eminent. We ate together near the water at a picnic table under an umbrella.…Rule 342.5.....Always carry a lunch you never know if you will get to eat it with a babe wearing a bikini. …I love being single…

Live Journal is not publishing my Tweets…It’s just a new thing I am doing. it’s a feature that I pay for so its not like its unusual. It’s a popular thing to tie in Twitter and Facebook .….Some days they work, some days they don‘t, now they don‘t and haven’t for a long time…I keep sending those Support Requests but to no avail. They say they get them (its automated) But nothing is ever done…If I didn’t pay for this site I could understand but you would think they (whoever they is) would at least try to help me….My settings are as they should be. Its not like I‘m doing something wrong…I am not going to keep resetting it…It should work until I shut it off. Its very frustrating to to look and find nothing there….

"Good Voice Guy"

Snow today …In fact the clouds are rolling in now. I suppose that means a day home with no Football. My problem is who to root for? I guess it will be Jets over the Colts..I don’t Know.. Lately, I've been down in the dumps as they say because my team lost. I’m still upset about that. Oh, and I did get a new cell phone. I sent for it on the internet. I’ve had T-Mobile for years so to keep my phone number I stayed with T-Mobile and got a Nokia Nuron and 500 minutes for about $130 dollars. I don’t have renew my minutes for a year with no contract. I’m a gold rewards costumer. If I want to, I can get on the Internet for $1.50 per day in a matter of seconds its so fast. It’s a touch screen phone and its up to date with all the new technology. I went over to the Mall to the T-Mobile service desk and they set it up for me…The result of my patience is no phone bill, no renew the minutes for a year and Internet anytime I choose to have it.I think that is a good deal and If I’m going to have a cell phone it might as well be a good one that’s up to date…

Its boring at the beach when snows. I hate to have to put on coats, scarfs and gloves just to walk on the beach. Hey, I’m not the only one who’s there either. There are other nuts walking too. Once you live near the ocean you don’t want to be anywhere else. There is something about being near the water that’s magnetic. I was talking to someone the other day that moved away but had to come back like I did. Lets face it, I need the ocean a stones throw away. I can only describe it as “Feeling complete and comfortable”. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

On the voice guy drug addict. He was just on GMA. The question of the day is.“Will he make it?” All this attention is very overwhelming whether he knows it or not. No predictions here but I will say he had better have a trusted sponsor and a solid foundation. The high of this popularity will not last forever. There will be a time when he comes crashing back to earth. The thing is and I really mean this, The Good luck of the day goes to good voice guy. Don’t forget to set an example and go to meetings…
