Home. Again.

Every time I come back from vacation I think about whether I'm refreshed. If it's someplace like Cape May or the Outer Banks, physically, no. The birds are calling and I'm up early to try and find them.

Mentally refreshed? Always. Funny though, because being OK mentally seems to cancel out not being OK physically. Maybe that's where the phrase "mind over matter" comes from. Anyway, the next getaway can't come soon enough. No matter how hard you try to get back into the "normal" routine you always find more sand in your shoes. And then you remember.

Crissy & Mo

So, down south there is a supermarket chain called Harris Teeter. Upscale. Very upscale. More than Genuardi's. Bet you've never popped a bottle of Cristal after going to the market.

Believe it.


They've got Crissy, Mo, and Dom. What? The shelves also looked like shelves you only see in commercials - fully stocked and stacked to the edge. The cashiers also flagged people down at the entrance to their registers to let people know that their line was free. The guys at the fish and meat counters wait on platforms with their hands behind their backs waiting for your service. Once you go to Harris Teeter you realize that it's not a grocery store, it's an experience. They're open 24 hours. I should go and see what kind of service they give at 2 in the morning.

Croaked

On the way to OBX yesterday, in a McDonald's parking lot, there was evidence of other creatures getting some fast food. At least it used to be fast.


I think now I'm supposed to talk about the brevity of life and how we transition from place to place and become so preoccupied with life that it's over before we know it and that this frog skeleton is a metaphor for it or something. But I'm not going to do any of that. The real reason I took this picture is...because my mom noticed it and I thought it was really cool.

Batty

So I was looking at this sports page and saw this video and thought to myself, "Yeah, I've been up too long because I'm not seeing this," and so I've decided to go to bed.



I also want to try this for myself but I'm sure I'd end up breaking my face.

History Lesson

People collect. Coins. Stamps. Baseball cards. People collect sneakers. Sneakers are cool. YouTube user "jdavidgunning"'s sneaker collection is cool. Maybe one day I'll show my collection.
