Nags Head, NC - 8/3/07

Hello. I just returned (last night) after spending a few days in Nags Head, NC - how wonderful to put my feet in the ocean and feel the sea breeze. It's an interesting place to visit and the weather was perfect beach weather. I was visiting my friend, Florence, and her family and we had a wonderful time. The drive (4-5 hours) is a bit much and lots of traffic down around Williamsburg, VA and the Hampton Roads area. A tunnel was blocked on my return trip so that meant sitting perfectly still in traffic for nearly an hour - a lesson in patience, of course, and I got home safely.

It's hard to believe that we're nearing the end of summer - it will be Fall before we know it - maybe we'll keep some warmth around longer than usual. I enjoy all the seasons, but I'm definitely a spring/summer person and it passes too quickly.

I'm been feeling well, and keeping busy. My newest kitty, one-eyed Patch, is doing well (other than biting a bit). He's handsome and loves to play with his toys - actually he takes them and puts them in the dog bed with Missy my 125-pound Newfoundland. He irritates the heck out of her wanting to play. She just ignores him most of the time, but it's cute to watch.

This is a casual, relaxed blog - just like my vacation. I enjoyed my radio show today and just signed a contract for another year. I so look forward to doing the show and finding interesting guests too. I'm heading out for the weekend.
