Needed a few days to clear my head and forget about the worries of day-to-day living nowadays. When my friend Jenny told me about her plans for the beach, it took me a short while to decide to hop in and leave everything behind.
I almost changed my mind the last minute, except that RL is in it, too, and I couldn't see him disappointed, not with his own worries closing in on him. No, we deserved the break. So hop in we did.
It's almost funny, what with all the mishaps that Jenny and her friends encountered, whereas RL and I sailed on smoothly, except for those few minutes' delays in turnaround flights. Jenny and Trudy missed their flight, Damian missed his. I guess luck is on our side - the only thing I missed is sunrise, given the drunken stupor RL and I led ourselves into each night.
Bumped in several familiar faces, names I couldn't remember. But what the heck - I am living in the moment. A nod is more than enough.
Tanned myself too much. Jenny said I'll be sorry when the wrinkles set in. Who cares? I have grey hair and I am proud of my age. Worrying about wrinkles isn't my thing. Of course, got a few scratches on my forehead, from diving the wrong depth. Wore them off as a badge of honor, I'm sure they'll disappear faster than the henna on my shoulders.
And now...?
Got a haircut.
Started reading Malkiel.
Chatted with my cute neighbor about Malkiel.
Even got myself a few interviews over Skype.
And Jenny's on my tail, extolling the virtues of RL, how sweet he is, how nice he is, how they get along so well...no need to build him up honey. I know.
