"Are You Not Entertained?"

A writer's dream ....... bonus time off from work (2 hours midweek feels like forever), my Macbook, beautiful weather, a comfortable chair in the shade of our patio, a creatively landscaped backyard, a bubbling fountain, a rum and coke ..... you get the picture.

A decision to write about whatever comes to mind. So what will it be? Putin? Nyet. Rand Paul? He really went there. The lost jetliner? Tragic for those passengers and their families. March Madness? Too much coverage already. (Go Harvard!)

The conversation at work today about ..... forget it. I'm off work early so I don't want to go there. 

This fast approaching weekend? Elley and I have an unusual day off together Sunday so we're going to Balboa Park to enjoy the inside and outside of San Diego's beautiful museums. Now that's worth anticipating and thinking about. 

My old friend David Turner is off to Albania to work with the Peace Corps and teach English. He's extended an open invitation to his network and I'm encouraging Elley to get her Passport so we can think about going there during the next 2 years. (Check the map it's right next to my favorite place on the planet - Greece!)

In no particular order and definitely mutually exclusive: we've been buying lottery tickets, researching a home purchase in our 55+ neighborhood, talking about the warm summer ahead and the need for more backyard shade, watching The Voice, Vikings, the new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and The Good Wife. 

I just got back from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, camping west of Elephant Knees with Dave. Another incredible day in the desert exploring undisturbed Earth formations. How do we know few humans have been there? We found petrified wood. Lot's of it. 

Elley and I rocked out on St. Patty's Day at O'Sullivan's in Carlsbad. The band was excellent and for a few Irish classic riffs we were the only ones jiggin' it on the dance floor.

I still haven't decided what I want to write about today. I think I'll have another rum and coke and think about it.
