I get to start a glorious two week vacation today.  It sort of figures that there is no surf to be had right now, but that may be a good thing.  According to the news, there are an awful lot of sharks hanging around the shoreline.  So many sightings in fact that several beaches in the area are closed.  I really wanted to go surf this morning, and would have, if there was any.  I stayed in and fired up the computer to see what, if anything, has been happening with my ever so neglected website http://www.ventsurfer.com  As it happens, something BIG happened.  I posted a blog about my aggravating time at the gym (yes, I noticed my mood as well and am fixing that) and an old friend made contact with me.  He and I were “thick as thieves” as they say back in the day.  His contact has actually made my heart sing!  If you read this one pal, lets figure out a way to get a call made, eh?  I truly cannot stress how wonderful a feeling it is to get that contact.  Its something we should all make time to do.  Find that friend you think about often and do a little detective work and make that contact.  You will be glad you did, but the person on the other end will be absolutely delighted.

I have got to go get packing now for our trip to Florida and a little side jaunt to Cuba.  Yes, the island nation that Americans are finally allowed to travel to directly from the U.S.  I am so very excited about this trip.  Look for a little “travel blog” to pop up from all this.  Be excellent to each other.
