I've been thinking...

... about you. Shi-pow-pow! You know you were singing that Londonbeat song. Admit it. It’s okay. If it suits you better, you could pretend you were humming Radiohead instead. As an aside, that LB song will forever remind me of Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach and the Labor Day weekend good times had at the Wakulla Inn (now Suites)... which makes me think about those gross catfish at that restaurant on the water that would devour scraps, including cole slaw from others’ heads. Yo!

Here’s some stuff that I’ve been rolling around in my mind the past few days. Thought I would jot them down and free up some noggin space for other musings. As you can see, the topics range from tragedy to the mundane.

• Japan
• Urban Outfitters has a collection of vintage clothing and accessories… from the 90s. Ouch.
• This terrible story from the West Bank. I don’t care about the politics but I can’t stop thinking about that family.
• The Savannah half-marathon and how far behind I am with training for it. I’m a slug.
• The heady scent of orange blossoms rushing in the car window or lurking quietly in the soft breeze that seems only to touch the uppermost leaves of the live oaks; the shocking pinkish-purple Technicolor phlox that decorate ditches and groves; super-juicy fresh-picked strawberries still warm from the sun, pulsing blood red in little green baskets. Can you tell I’m a little homesick for Florida?
• Daniel Woodrell’s writing. I just finished Winter’s Bone and am crazy about this author. It’s been a long time since I have savored a book. It gets me all fired up again about reading. I need another fix from the library.

You know what? I do feel a little freer having shared with y’all. Comments are always welcome.
