RECESS!!!

Ahhhh....this is the Florida I'd like to see more of. I got a couple hour window and the opportunity to take a drive. I wound up here. Bowman's beach on Sanibel Island. 2 parts Hawaii, 1 part Cape Cod, with a splash of the Carribean.

I'm the only jackass out here in pants. In my own defense, I didn't know I was coming here. Earth school...lesson number 1,000,000,343,937....get in car. Drive. Turn when inspired to do so. See where you wind up. Today...Sanibel Island.

It feels like recess without the burnt burritos and glazed donuts. Just fresh air, beautiful water and a series of deep breaths. I only have a few minutes before I need to be back. It's not enough time. It's never enough time.

I managed to take this picture. Couldn't see because of the sun on my screen. My finger is nice, isn't it?

Your post came in my Google Sanibel Alerts, that's why I dropped by.

I imagine you were about ready to rip the bottom half off the legs of your pants. :-)

You will have to make another trip back, because you've only just begun exploring here on Sanibel.

Wow, I just heard you sing on YouTube videos. I don't think I've ever heard anyone sing the National Anthem any better. It's a shame you didn't get to do it. I also enjoyed listening to your new song. You are a great looking guy with a lot of talent. Best of luck to you with your new release. This comes from someone's Grandma. :-))
