Today was one of those days. It all started when I showed up at work. The customers, challenges, issues, and problems were non-stop all day. Busy days are nice because you work on many different issues and when you finally have a chance to look up, its lunch time. Today was not quite that fluid. I seemed to work on something for an hour or more only to look up at the clock to see it has been fifteen minutes. After getting chewed up, yelled at, cursed, and on occasion, thanked my day was finally over. I changed into some workout clothes and headed to my favorite parking lot at El Segundo Beach. I got out of the car and immediately hit the path. No stretching or warming up, no sir. I just started walking. Every now and again I would speed into a trot or a shuffle as we called it in the Army. I walked about a mile, then I scrambled down some rocks onto the beach itself. The sun was preparing to set and it was just beautiful along the entire coast. I looked up at the bike path I just exited and there was a small group of people. All of them with their back to the beach and the setting sun. I continued walking not really thinking too much about it but started to notice that everyone had their back to the sun. I suddenly realized that all these people were taking “selfie” pictures. I have to tell you, I just don’t get it. Are you so intent on proving to someone, anyone, that you were actually at the place you took the selfie at that you actually miss the very thing you are showing yourself off admiring? I guess there are some things I will never understand. The sunset was amazing. I don’t think I will ever take that for granted. But hey, if ya can’t beat em…
